Let’s grip these shows tight and raise them from perdition. #SaveTheWinchesters #RenewGothamKnights
It's a fun show it deserves to keep going !!
This latte is so sweet and spicy, almost like the two flavours are fighting each other... There's an aftertaste of teenage rebellion.

For those in the US, it's Memorial Day weekend, when we remember those who have died in service to our country. Though our leaders may not always be right, the men and women who fight under them put their lives on the line so the rest of us don't have to. As you celebrate this weekend, take a moment to give thanks for them.
Old Business:
The fandom is still working hard to try and #SaveTheWinchesters! If you want to help, use the hashtag whenever you post on any social media sites. (We also support those who want to #SaveWalkerIndependence and #RenewGothamKnights, even though those shows don't technically fall under our purview.)
Last week's #TweetFicTues prompt (via @writerswritecompany) was:
Who's the cat? Who's typing? Is the cat a human who ran into a spell gone wrong (or right)? Tell us who this makes you think of!
New Business:
Angel Fish Award nominations are due by the end of the month if you want to be entered into this month's raffle drawing! Click here to learn how to participate!
Stay tuned for May's New Member Spotlight post! It should be posted in the next few days. We have some lovely additions to our fishy family we can't wait to tell you about!
Next weekend is Fishing For Treasures weekend at the @fanficocean! (The Pond will celebrate on the 17th and 18th.) In June, we're celebrating stories that have POC or LGBTQA+ characters! Nominate your own story, or someone else's story, by either submitting a link to their blog or dropping a link into the #fishing-for-treasures channel in their discord server.
Next weekend is also #SPNCHI in Chicago! If you're planning on attending and want to meet up with other Pondies while you're there, there's a channel in our discord server just for you. Attending another convention and don't see a channel for it? Let the admins know and we'll create one for you!

That's all for this week! To see all Pond events, and also other SPN-related things like conventions and online concerts, check out our Google calendar! We try to keep it as up to date as possible. If there's something you want to see on the calendar that's not there (maybe a convention we missed, or cast birthdays, or something similar), send us an ASK and let us know!
Hope you have a great week! - From your Admins and Manta Rays, @manawhaat, @mrswhozeewhatsis, @mariekoukie6661, @princessmisery666, @thoughtslikeaminefield, and @katbratsupernaturalwhore!
Yep, a bunch of fans banded together and bought out space on billboards for a few hours. They “know people” 😉. Anywho, the rest of us just took pics of the billboards and shared the pics on Twitter 😁

This weekend is Fishing for Treasures weekend, and we've been celebrating Ship Fics! (We especially love rare pairs!!) Check out the blog for a ton of non-reader insert fics of all types!
(Could a canon ship be considered a rare pair if few enough people actually ship it? Things that make you go hmmmm....)
Old Business:
The SPNFamily has gone into high gear to try and help our favorite actors get their new shows renewed by the CW or saved by another network/platform. If you want to help, too, there are petitions on change.org, and you can add the hashtags #SaveTheWInchesters, #SaveWalkerIndependence and #RenewGothamKnights to all of your social media posts. Adding the hashtags, even to somewhat unrelated tweets/posts keeps the hashtags trending and helps a future network or platform see that there is a lot of support for the show in question. Since shows can't really be shopped around right now due to the WGA strike, anything we can do to catch the eyes of the guys with the money can help!
The WGA strike is in full gear! Everywhere we look around Twitter, we see more stories of how shit being a TV/movie writer pays, these days. And that's just one of the many issues that the WGA is fighting for on behalf of its members. From the use of AI to replace writers to fighting against things like writer mini-rooms, which pay pennies to writers but get full scripts in return, and not having writers on set to make last-minute changes based on changing conditions in shooting. There are a ton of stories out there giving fantastic examples of why these things are important, so if you haven't read about them, follow some of our SPN writers to learn more about it! (And use the hashtag #WGAStrong when you post your support on social media!)
Last week's #TweetFicTues prompt (via @writerswritecompany) was:
(This one has kind of a Doctor Who crossover vibe with the Vashta Nerada, doesn't it? How would the Winchesters fight those shadow monsters?)
New Business:
Manta Rays in the discord server! At the end of this week, THREE of our Manta Rays will be hanging out in the discord server! @mariekoukie6661, @princessmisery666, and @mrswhozeewhatsis will be in there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, respectively. Keep an eye out for announcement posts or check out the Pond Google calendar for dates and times in your time zone!
Angel Fish Award nominations! We're more than halfway through the month, which means that the deadline to get your entries into May's raffle is approaching! Remember, every nomination you send in is an entry into the raffle for awesome prizes! Click here for more info about how to participate and get a look at what you could win! (Spoiler: SPN season DVD sets, SPN shirts, writing tools, fic and art commissions, and so much more!)

Welcome to June! Sadly, this month started off with the news that our beloved spinoff, The Winchesters, has not found a new home and we won't be seeing any more of it. Considering the WGA strike, with a SAG-AFTRA strike looming, it was a long shot. Now, we can only hope that the SPN reunion that Jensen and Jared are always talking about happens someday! And when it does, there will be hugs!

The New Member Spotlight for May was posted! Click here to check it out and meet our newest members!
This weekend is Fishing For Treasures weekend at the @fanficocean! Head over there to see fics with LGBTQIA+ and POC characters!
Last week's #TweetFicTues prompt was (via @writerswritecompany):
There was some discussion on Twitter if Sam would even fit in a Tesla or not. What do you think?
New Business:
The Angel Fish Awards for May will be posted in the next day or so! If you haven't submitted a nomination and you want to be eligible for an entry into May's raffle for fabulous prizes, you still have time! (Admin Michelle is busy, so you've got until she gets caught up!)
#SPNCHI and Fan Expo Philadelphia are both this weekend! Three of the Core Four from The Winchesters are in Chicago with a long roster of SPN faves, while Tom Welling is in Philly with some fellow Smallville cast members.
Have you thought about your role in the Pond recently? Maybe you joined as a Guppy, but feel more like a Jelly Fish, now? Maybe you're a Jelly Fish who wants to take on some responsibility and support other writers by being a Manta Ray? If you haven't considered how you feel about your current designation in a while, take some time this week and think about where you are and where you want to be in our fishy family. If you decide you'd like to make a change, just let us know!
