Get your geek on!  
Announcing the launch of :

Some of us really do watch for the plot: a collection of Supernatural essays
edited by [info]missyjack and [info]anteka

Forty essays covering Supernatural from the Pilot through to Heart explore everything from Sam's shadow self to why Dean is a hero and what John's journal tells us about him. Find out why the boys not hugging is a good thing and explore the genetics of demons. There's essays on faith, free will, feminism and fairy tales. Some essays will have you agreeing enthusiastically, others may have you hurling the book across the room. They'll all make you think.

Click on the beautiful cover by [info]ladymango for the Table of Contents

Order now at Cafe Press for $16.99. Sorry no free steak knives.




I am so proud of this book. Its a true fannish collaboration. The idea arose in a comment chat between [info]veronamay, [info]anteka and me,  and the next thing you know it was happening. This wouldn't have happened without [info]anteka and her amazing energy and drive.

People put forward their own work , so there's a great diversity of contributors. A wonderful group of people volunteered to help edit and proof the book. Special thanks to [info]angstslashhope, [info]embroiderama and [info]eboniorchid for helping with the final technical stuff.

This book is a testament to our wonderful show, and what it inspires, and also to the great thinky and creative brains of fandom. Hope y'all enjoy it.

And get thinky - the next volume awaits.

okay for you I'll throw in a bag of rock salt ;) It was a great collaborative effort. I learnt so much. And i am pleased that fandom has produced something people can show to people and say "look we are brilliant!"

For me its amazing first the wonderful things people wrote, but then to produce a book, with people from all over the world, just amazing.

!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been looking forward to this for SO LONG. \o/

You won't be disappointed. Its really diverse - because it was up to people to put themselves forward it isnt just a "people on my flist" book. (in fact only a handful of the authors are on my flist). And there are essays in there that I vehemently disagree with! And i love revisiting how we saw the boys in S1 - and how they've changed, as has our view of them.

Yeah, I had a look at the list of contents and it looks FABULOUS. Does cafepress do Paypal, do you remember? I don't see it, but I have a history of not seeing stuff, heh. ;)

I checked and they don't do Paypal unfortunately ;(
Irresponsible Jones[info]lemmealone on August 5th, 2007 05:05 am (UTC)
CRAP. No worries. I'll do a pay-the-proxy thing. Wonder if [info]veronamay has a copy yet...

Thank you - our fandom rocks! There will definitely be a next volume, just not sure whether to wait til the end of Season three or do it before hand *ponders*
