i mean spn may be a clusterfuck at the moment but without it i would definitely not have spent the afternoon hanging out with @lethalqueerwitch in the middle of sweden today (nor a weekend with @majesticduxk in the middle of poland last november) so that is pretty fucking cool

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEAUTIFUL @shiphitsthefan​

Since I joined the SPN Family I’ve made a lot of amazing friends, and I’m proud to count Ship among them. When they’re not making me laugh with gloriously crafted puns, or parenting their adorable child-spawn, they can be often be found writing some truly fantastic Destiel fics. So, in honor of Ship’s birthday I thought I’d give a shout-out to three of my favorite fics! I highly recommend you check them out!

For Science - “Think of it like an experiment," says Dean. "You’re testing a hypothesis as to whether or not a desirable response can be achieved through the stimulation of the anus via the application of a willing volunteer’s muscular hydrostat.”

Cas raises an eyebrow. “Are you actually trying to use the scientific method to talk me into letting you lick my asshole?”

Remarkable - It’s only Castiel’s first day as a teacher at All City Elementary in Sioux Falls, and he’s already been warned by four teachers, the guidance counselor, the principal, and the librarian to watch out for Ben Braeden’s father. Unluckily for Castiel, Dean turns out to be just as “helpful” as everyone’s said, bringing in stacks of literature and just as many ideas for how Mr. Milton can encourage his students to be more socially conscious. Castiel dismisses him every time with hardly a second thought. 

When Ben brings in his Patriot Day essay assignment, Mr. Milton can't help but change his mind.

I’ve actually answered the first question before.  I’ve answered the third, as well.

From the Management comes A CELEBRATORY ANNOUNCEMENT:

“fozmeadows, who was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer for her blog, Shattersnipe, has secured a two book deal with Angry Robot.  An Accident of Stars will be released in summer 2016, and a second book will follow with its date yet to be announced.”  Learn more about An Accident of Stars at the article from The Bookseller linked above or on her tumblr.  Many congratulations!  We’re all supremely excited, and you should be, too.

The past two weeks have been busy for fandom.  First was the release of the Captain America: Civil War trailer; it was a time of great flailing.  Next was the deadline and the subsequent art claims for the DCBB, which caused much nail-biting.  Then the chemists Actor+Ackles and their best buddy Moosalecki all won surfboards; while the Management isn’t sure what, precisely, they’re supposed to do with them, we happily sailed the resultant wave of joy.  Many of us have been in a state of mollusk-ine meltdown since two certain someones decided to sail their own damn ship.  In the face of all of this glee, the ECKC still managed to exercise their abundant creativity.  Here’s what you may have missed:
