#SaveWaywardSisters
Good morning, @thecwspn. This is our last-ditch effort. We urge you to reconsider your decision not to pick up Wayward Sisters for a series. But in the event that the following reasons don’t interest you; what’s up, @netflix? Here are some reasons that Wayward is valuable, viable, and unlike anything that has come before. It would be a no-brainer for you to pick up this show.
First of all, the idea of Wayward was imagined by and advocated by the Supernatural fandom. That’s an important distinction because it means that this show comes with a built-in fan base.
Our aim was better representation for women and minorities. We wanted more diverse casting and storytelling. We wanted better inclusivity for people of color, LGBT+ people, and people with varying physical and mental abilities.
We wanted positive female role models. Not just for girls, but for everyone. A sheriff and adoptive mom doing her best to support her gaggle of struggling teenagers. A powerful leader who fights self esteem issues but who brings a smile to everyone’s face. Girls who pull themselves out of the depths to fight for their families, for what is right, for each other.
We wanted to see better relationships between women. Tired of the tropes of cattiness, pettiness, and the inability for women to support and relate to one another, we instead believed in a show with women mentoring other women, empowering and uplifting one another. We wanted girls kicking ass but still being vulnerable, because strength can be found in both. We wanted episodes that could pass the Bechdel test.
We loved Supernatural. We wanted it, and more.
We campaigned heavily for a Wayward Daughters spinoff for two years. But in the mean time, something incredible and unexpected happened. We formed a community. We Wayward misfits found a family in each other. And suddenly all of those things we wanted in our media, we were suddenly embodying in our own lives and among each other.
This is when we became Wayward AF. We were empowered in our struggles, in our idiosyncrasies, in our differences. We were Wayward, not lost. Together, we were powerful. Tens of thousands of pieces of Wayward-themed merchandise were purchased from @shopstands benefiting various charities. We banded together to help @randomactsorg build a free high school in Nicaragua, assisted New Leash on Life, USA in rescuing, training, and rehabilitating part of a class of service dogs and their inmate companions, knit hundreds of baby hats for premature babies the in NICU, wrote birthday cards to kids who just needed a friend, and many more projects dreamed up by the community itself.
We grew and grew and grew. Before there was even a pilot announcement, Wayward Daughters fans on social media were 20,000 strong. Once we watched the pilot, we were hooked. We needed more. And we weren’t the only ones. This petition started less than a week ago has nearly 73,000 signatures. 1.7 million people were reached with a thunderclap to Save Wayward Sisters. That is our reach. That is our impact. We, the fans of a show that doesn’t even exist yet. A show that had one episode.
Listen. Maybe heartfelt pleas and touching stories aren’t your bag. But when you get down to it, Wayward Sisters would make you a front-runner in diversity, inclusion, and empowerment. Just think about it: in today's climate, a show starring six women— one third of whom are racially diverse, one third of whom might be LGBT+, and one third of whom are over the age of 35, but still kicking ass. And that last part is important. Despite the CW’s target demo being primarily 18-25, 53% of Wayward’s fan base is over the age of 25.
This show is viable. It is valuable.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s the creator of Supernatural talking about how we should fight for Wayward Sisters. Here are links to nearly every recurring cast member (and crew as well) throwing their hats into the ring to support the show: Misha Collins, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Sam Smith, Ruth Connell, Rob Benedict, Richard Speight, Matt Cohen, Rachel Miner, Alaina Huffman, Shoshannah Stern, Julian Richings, Lisa Berry, Davy Perez, Robbie Thompson, Jim Michaels (we’re probably missing a few.)
The point is, we, the (perhaps small, but definitely) mighty fan base of Wayward would watch religiously. We would recommend it to our friends. We would buy merchandise. We would really, really appreciate it if you would save Wayward Sisters.
PS— Netflix, this is just between us. If you picked it up, we’d love it if you’d use the correct title. Wayward Daughters. Just sayin’.
PPS— Netflix, that postscript is, by no means, a deal breaker.
Thank you to EVERYONE who supported today's Save Wayward Sisters thunderclap! It was a huge success, reaching over 1.7 million people. But we're not done yet!
Tomorrow is our big Save Wayward day. Until then, if you haven't already:

The CW up-fronts are on Thursday, so this is our last chance to grab their attention before the day of the decision. We have worked too hard and believe in this too much to let go. So here’s the deal. We’re not giving up without a fight. Add your voice. Let's make it loud.

Don't forget to edit your tweet to make sure to tag @thecwspn (@/TheCW on twitter) and put the hashtag in place at the end. The finished post should look like this: Hey @thecwspn—we want Wayward Sisters! I will watch & recommend to friends. Inclusion is important! #SaveWaywardSisters (on twitter: Hey @TheCW—we want Wayward Sisters! I will watch & recommend to friends.

SAVE WAYWARD
Here’s the plan...
BUCKLE UP. We’re gonna try to get Netflix to pick up Wayward Sisters. We need your help.
We have worked too hard and believe in this too much to let go. So here’s the deal. We’re not giving up without a fight. That’s where you come in.
This week, get ready. Share this graphic as widely as you can. We need as many Wayward supporters as possible. Everything goes down on Thursday (May 17th). If all goes according to plan, we’re gonna be the loudest thing out there that day.
Here’s what to do.
On Thursday, take pictures in your shirts. Write your thoughts. Create videos. Tell a friend to do the same. Tell ten friends. Tweet, post on facebook, on your tumblr, your instagram. It’s your time to shine. It’s our time to be heard.
Tell the CW how badly they messed up. Tell Netflix why you believe in the show, why you need it to happen, and how committed you are to the idea. Let them know that you would watch and recommend the show to new viewers. Make it clear that this is viable.
Make sure that you tag both @/TheCW and @/cw_spn, as well as @/Netflix, @/Variety, @/THR, @/EW, @/DEADLINE, and @/TVGuide. Be sure to use the #SaveWaywardSisters hashtag in every social media post.
Keep doing what you’re doing. We know many of you are creating your own calls to action, and we love it. Just be sure to use the correct tags and tell everyone else to do the same! We need to form a united front, and keeping our tagging and “@-ing” organized will make all of the difference. For ease, we will create a tweet on Thursday morning with all of the correct @s so you can just reply.
Until Thursday...
Sign the petition if you haven’t already, spread the word about the plan, and keep an eye out for our post on Thursday morning! Also, let’s all continue trying to get #SaveWayward and #SaveWaywardSisters trending!
SIGNAL BOOST! Sign the petition here.
Do you still want me to follow this blog after I found out I'm a trans guy?
Of course! Wayward is for everyone.

Wayward Sisters has a passionate fandom and a dedicated creative team ready. It’s time.
Okay, I did not do literal witchcraft in a goddamn Starbucks to be rewarded with the news that the CW passed on Wayward. Oh no, I did not. Plus, the Winchesters never met an impossible fight they couldn’t handle.
Screw the stakes, let’s show Team Wayward some support.
Here is a number you can call to let the CW know you want them to reconsider: (818) 977-2500
And here is a nice feedback form you can use to give them feedback on their choices: [click here]
Mark Pedowitz has an e-mail address, and it’s [email protected].
And hey, here’s a change.org petition: [click here]
IMPORTANT ADVICE:
Be clear, concise, and kind
Tell them who you are, what Wayward means to you, what you love about it, etc., and encourage them to change their minds
Encourage others to support the effort if they’re sad about The CW passing on the show; noise matters
Support each other, because a lot of us had a big emotional investment in this story, cast, and creative team
Seriously, be kind
Look at that auto reply form letter, don’t you want one of your very own?
WHO’S READY FOR BATTLE?
Details tomorrow. In the mean time, sign the petition here!
Well. Moving Forward.
So, I’m sure you’re all aware of Wayward Sisters’ outcome (at the time of this post… hopefully it’ll be un-cancelled). We, the mods, have spent the day in mourning that Wayward Sisters was not picked up by the CW. And we, with much of the fandom, are voicing our disappointment with this decision. However, we are also looking forward.
The Wayward Sisters Big Bang will still be going ahead as scheduled, and it will celebrate these ladies in a way that the show will (at this point) never have the opportunity to. This news has reinvigorated our passion for this project (not that it ever faded anyway), and for as long as the spirit and adoration for this movement remains lit, we will be here alongside you.
So, more than ever before, we encourage you to tell the stories of these women. These diverse, strong, empowering figures that deserve to have their stories told, and at this point, fic and art is the one of the ways their stories can continue. Whether that be with the WSBB project or of your own time, please think of Jody, Donna, Claire, Patience, Alex and Kaia, and their stories, both as individuals and as a team, because everyone deserves one.
We hope we can join you with the telling of those stories. This is what this project is all about.
Here are the sign-up forms for those wishing to join:
— Authors || Close date: May 20th
— Artists || Close date: July 7th
— Alphas/Betas
Our love and support to everyone involved in the Wayward movement, and to the people who helped in creating the backdoor pilot. While we still hope Wayward will be picked up, despite the cancellation, we will not be defeated.

As this is a pure fundraiser, the MP3 download will be a $5.00 donation to Random Acts’ Dreams2Acts Nicaragua. If we sell 8k units (doable) we have a daycare, folks.
