Weekly Pond Newsletter

We missed a week because the hotel wiffy in Austin was atrocious and Admin Michelle couldn't get a darn thing to work, so now we've got two weeks of stuff to report!

Old Business:

Fishing for Treasures - May's theme is PAIRINGS (especially rare pairs)!! Last weekend the @fanficocean had their celebration, and ours will be next weekend! Click here for more info!

Monthly Prompt - The monthly prompt for May was posted, and Admin Marie did another beautiful job on the collage! Click here to see her work and get inspired!

New Member Spotlight - We welcomed three new members into the Pond in April! Click here to meet them and maybe make a new friend!

Angel Fish Awards - Another batch of fantastic fic recs for April! And @thoughtslikeaminefield won the raffle! Click here to see all the stories we loved last month!

#TweetFicTues from two weeks ago (we missed last week) -

New Business:

Giveaway in the Discord server - We're having another giveaway in the Discord server, this time for a bracelet (possibly leather, but probably not) with a Viking sun symbol on it! Drop a fic in our giveaways channel that features the sun or mothers, somehow, and earn an entry into a raffle to win. The sun and/or mother(s) have to feature in the story, though. It can't just be a randomly sunny day. Also, unless the mother in question is Mary, the mother must be mothering in the fic. Like, the fact that she's a mother is a plot point or major aspect. Mary is the only exception because she's Mary. 🤣

Competitive Writing Sprints - On Tuesday, @heavenssexiestangel will be hosting a session on competitive writing sprints. Add words to your WIP and win fabulous prizes!

Manta Ray in the Discord server - One Wednesday, Admin Michelle will be hanging out in the Discord server to talk to you! Come say hi!

(Divider by @glygriffe!)

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! Click here for a static view in Eastern US/Canada time (desktop only, no mobile app access, sadly), and click here to add our calendar to your own 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, 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, @thoughtslikeaminefield, and @heavenssexiestangel!

I tried getting help from reddit but no luck. So now my last hope is the SPN Family.

I'm in desperate need of new prescription glasses. Have actually needed a new prescription for a year, but couldn't afford it. I checked Specsavers website and took into account previous times. Best I can figure I'll need about 3000SEK (approximately 300USD) to cover the eye exam, new frames, and new prescription lenses.

If you can help, I started a GoFundMe. Any amount helps. Even just a reblog helps.

I'm doing a panel on how to write fanfiction 😆

So my town is having a comic con and entertainment expo, like a small version of Chicago's C2E2.

I signed up to do a panel which I titled, "Beyond Canon: Mastering the Art of Fanfiction Writing."

In the panel, I want to touch on the following:

Introduction to Fanfiction: Define what fanfiction is and its significance in popular culture. Discuss its history and evolution.

Understanding Canon: Emphasize the importance of knowing the source material (canon) thoroughly before writing fanfiction. Discuss ways to research and interpret canon material.

Types of Fanfiction: Explore different genres and styles of fanfiction, such as alternate universe (AU), crossover, fluff, angst, and smut. Discuss the unique challenges and opportunities each genre presents.

Respecting Canon vs. Taking Creative Liberties: Discuss the balance between staying true to canon and taking creative liberties in fanfiction. Explore the ethics of altering or expanding upon established elements of the source material.

Feedback and Community Engagement: Discuss the role of feedback and community engagement in the fanfiction writing process. Explore platforms and communities where writers can share their work, receive feedback, and connect with fellow fans.

Legal and Ethical Considerations: Touch upon legal and ethical considerations surrounding fanfiction, such as copyright issues and respecting the rights of original creators.

The Impact of Fanfiction: Reflect on the broader cultural impact of fanfiction, including its role in fostering community, creativity, and literary analysis.

Q&A Session: Open the floor to questions from the audience, allowing attendees to seek clarification, share their own experiences, and engage in discussion.

Throughout the panel, I want to highlight some incredible fanfictions that have transcended their origins and made their mark in mainstream media as books, TV shows, or movies.

If you know of any fanfictions that have been turned into books, TV Shows, or movies please leave them below! If you have any thoughts or insights on what I should cover in specific areas, I'd appreciate your thoughts below! 😊

"that's not very aromantic of you" "that's not very asexual of you" WELL that's not very minding your own business of you

Being demiromantic is so cool, it’s like I have built in anti-douchebag security

You don’t like the friend zone? That’s the only way on up my guy

I think some queer people struggle to realize not everyone is public with their identity like I've had remind my irl queer friends so many times not to tell people about my identity without my permission

"Oh I know them, they're cool with it."

Awesome I still didn't want you to tell them

"You don't need to be ashamed"

I'm not ashamed I just want you to ask me first

"They probably would have realized anyway"

Cool you couldnt possibly know plus its still not your place to tell them

Like I'm a private person and I don't want strangers to know personal stuff about me if I didn't tell them myself

It's not that I'm in the closet but I still would like to be in control of how I come out to people

Besides it hasn't always been safe for me to be out in the past

#demiromantic

I have nothing to say but I hear people are trying to get the aromantic tag to trend during Valentine's day and its almost Valentine's day so 🤷‍♂️

”i’d like to be my old self again but i’m still trying to find it” is such a baller lyric. like people don’t talk about that part of a break up enough. you can be over it all you want but the accepting that things are now different and you are not the same person you were at the beginning is sometimes the hardest part

Writing Prompt #2500

"Regrets? No, no, I left those in the past."

"Oh, you make it sound easy."

"I spent years hating every fiber of my being. I wouldn't quite call it easy."
