It has recently come to our attention that some of our team members are receiving hate, both anonymously and in their DMs. Please do not go to them because they're having fun on this project. If you have a problem, take it up with @yourfinalbow or through the official Tumblr. Attacking or sending hate is both rude and childish, espcially when that member is a minor. We are trying to keep this a fun and positive enviorment, and the people receiving hate are finding it legitimately upsetting. So please grow up and be professional.

Thank you, the Wayward Writers.

Why do you think the side characters who appeared in at most four or five episodes out of 327 DESERVE an arc of their own?

Because they’re awesome.

We want to make a disclaimer that the point of this project isn’t to hate on Supernatural. We’re doing this because we really enjoy and love this show, which can be seen from just how many hours we’re putting in to it, but we recognize that there are some things that fans would have wanted to see, that they simply didn’t get to. If you don’t like our take, you don’t have to read it. It’s just like any fanfiction. You scroll through Ao3 without leaving hate comments, so you can do the same with us. (That doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear your thoughts and opinions. We’re open to ideas, because we want to write what the fandom, the part that’s actually invested and is going to read it, wants.)

We also want to make the point that the views of our team members, Supernatural related or not, aren’t a true reflection on the project itself. Thank you for reading, and we appreciate all the support we’ve gotten over the past few days! Stay tuned for more content.

I wanted to message you to tell you I hate this whole thing. I haven't had a good nights rest since I found out about this project. It has consumed my life in ways I didn't know was possible and honestly fuck you. Oh also, expect a message from HR b/c of the emotion damage this has caused me. Anyways, I'm buying coffee for everyone at the next office meeting. Is there anything else you guys want?

One Very Berry Hibiscus Starbucks refresher, a "lemon ice tea thing", one ice caramel swirl, Erin wants a water, a vanilla latte with almond milk, one Strawberries with crème Frappuccino, a Starbucks steamer with a shot of pumpkin and cinnamon, K isn't in her office right now but go with something chocolatey and very caffeinated, then we need a Caffè Americano with 10 sugars, I haven't looked online so I don't know if it's still in season, but one pumpkin spice latte, if not then a toasted white chocolate mocha, (which I think is also seasonal so if that's not available either, go with an Iced Cinnamon Almond milk macchiato), and then two cups of hot chocolate with 8 shots of espresso (each) for Intro and Outro. Oh! And get a chocolate chip cookie for Pandemic please. Thank you LayLay!

Hey just found out about this and while the fanfic idea in and of itself isn't my cup of tea, I really think it's great you guys are creating something to help satisfy you in a way the show didn't. I don't ship destiel and rather liked the finale, but I have a lot of respect for how considerate y'all are being. Having your fun and not hating on the actors, writing what you want to happen but being extremely nice to those who disagree. Hope the fic turns out well! Good luck!

Thank you so much! We realize that not everyone has the same opinions on ships, the finale, or the show in general, but we really are trying to make this as inclusive and positive of a place as possible. Even if you don’t ship Destiel, you might enjoy what we’re doing with say, Amara, and how she relates with angels and souls. It’s really not just about ships in the project, it’s about attempting to do things that the show just didn’t have the time or resources to do. (Due to budget or the fact that it has to actually be filmed.) So yeah, thanks again!

Hi! I saw your last post & I wanted to let y’all know how psyched I am for Superiornatural! From what I’ve seen everybody involved is super passionate about the project and dedicated to doing right by the story and characters we all love so much. Like a lot of fans I was really disappointed by the finale, and after all the backlash around that + all the examples people were pulling from previous seasons where the writers/showrunners dropped the ball again and again I left feeling pretty disillusioned with the entire show. The only reason I didn’t fall into a grief spiral over watching the jenga tower of this thing I’d loved for years topple over was that I heard about your project. Watching everyone come together to say ‘no. we’re not giving up on this story.’ and get to work picking up the pieces has been amazing. Just the knowledge that it’s not over & we still have the chance to see the show done justice by ppl that actually appreciate it has brought me so much comfort, & I can’t wait to see the project completed. :)

Hi! And thank you for the very kind message, we truly appreciate all of these! We are all very passionate about this show and putting in time/effort into the project to make sure it succeeds and creating a sense of comfort for those in this fandom.

I completely get how you felt after watching the finale and the events afterwards because I had a very similar feeing happen to me. I went into the finale thinking that after it was all done, I’d be ready to do a complete series rewatch. But after the finale, I decided I wasn’t ready and that it hurt too much. And then this project was created and it gave a lot of people, a place to talk, to vent, just to go all in on this show we are so passionate about. A show, like you mentioned, we weren’t ready to give up on.

We hope that once it’s completed and published, we did everything we could to do right by these characters and give them everything they deserved and more. You put a smiley face so now I can put a smiley face and I don’t have to worry about it being awkward. :)

Hi I've been seeing a lot of hate that you guys get on my feed and just wanted to let you know that a lot of people are really excited about what you're doing (or at least I am). Keep up your passion about the things you care about and making people happy. Just wanted to give y'all a bit of encouragement because I know you might need it right now. Good luck in all your future endeavors and have a great day!

Ah thank you so much! We're glad someone is excited, even if it just you. We really appreciate you coming and leaving your kind words and encouragement, I think it really does boost the morales of the team! We're excited to start releasing more engaging things on the Tumblr and Twitter, so get ready for that! Thanks again for sending the ask. And now I'm thinking should I put a smiley face here or is that weird? And if I put a smiley face which one? It's fine I'm just going to leave this here: :D Was that awkward? It was probably awkward.
