Join The Bunker Party

Guess what’s back? Back again? 

April’s Bunker Party is here!

The Men of Letters Headquarters will be the location of a Bunker Party once again this April and I am SO excited to see your darling faces, hear your wonderful voices and just have a fun filled evening. We are also celebrating a WHOLE YEAR since we first started doing these! Time flies! 

SO! Come and join me, and a few of my already confirmed wonderful friends and authors on here, for the event of the month! Going LIVE this SATURDAY (April 17th, 2021) on Jitsi!

Yes…SATURDAY. I know we normally do these on a Friday but due to circumstances changing in personal lives, it is now being held on SATURDAY.

You can join the Bunker Party in all manner of ways. Video, audio or just using the chat function! If you wish to remain anonymous, that option is available too. You pick your name when you enter. I will provide the link details on the night.

We’re cool with whatever you’re comfortable with!

We can talk fanfiction, writing, talk about the SPN cast, cons, favorite episodes, play games, have a ton of laughs and a hell of a frickin’ good time! Maybe you can even persuade some of the regular livestream guests to sing and dance, they’ve done it before! If you have any suggestions, please let us know!

How to join?

If you’re using your phone - you will need to download the free app to join us.

If you’re using your laptop or PC, just use the link provided on the night!

It’s that simple!

Timezone Information:

Los Angeles: Saturday 17th @ 12PM New York: Saturday 17th @ 3PM London: Saturday 17th @ 8PM Paris: Saturday 17th @ 9PM Melbourne: Sunday 18th @ 5AM (we know - timezones suck and so do daylight savings!)

Guidelines for the evening and tags are below the cut (so I’m not clogging anyone’s dash)

Guidelines:

This chat is HATE FREE.

Drink alcohol responsibly. It’s fine to have a drink if you wish to but please don’t get intoxicated while on the streams. We want the live streams to be a place of fun and laughter, but also a place where people can ask us serious questions and receive honest and heartfelt answers.

Please don’t ask personal and direct questions to livestream participants. I.E sexuality, personal experiences, lifestyle choices, religion, ETC. This puts people on the spot and not everyone may be as open as you are (if you are). We want everyone to feel comfortable whilst participating in these streams.

Let people speak. Do not talk over one another when a question is being answered. If you have something to add; an opinion, an idea or a suggestion, please let the person finish speaking first. On Jitsi there is a chat function and a raise hand function, please use these to save talking over each other. We want to hear everyone and avoid anyone suffering from sensory overload; this can take away the enjoyment of the streams. If these rules are broken, we reserve the right to kick you from the stream for the remaining participants safety.

Be mindful and respectful of others.

Any questions? Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me! I’m super excited and I hope to see you there!

How did you guys come up with Oni terms such as "Phos" or "Xinta" and Oni names like Hershel and Theodynn? Are they based off of another existing language, or did you make them up yourselves?

Names and Oni terms were fun to come up with, though sometimes it was difficult.  In HOTO, I didn't really have to come up with many names because I was borrowing from the few things we knew about season 9 at the time, and I already knew the villain's name was Iron Baron and he had a henchman named Heavy Metal.  So Keyda was the only one I had to name; I named her after Maddie technically because I was writing the story for her (we were waiting for season 9 and she pressured me into trying my hand at fanfiction.)  Her penname had been PrincessKeda for years so I'm like fine this chick is getting named after you, her name is Keyda. 

 In Soto, I was suddenly doing a lot more worldbuilding and introducing lots of new characters, so I needed lots of names.  Hershel's name came because originally, he really was just going to be the servant that comes to get Cole when Keyda freaks out and I wanted him to have a proper little servant name.  I was like "Hershel sounds like a cute little majordomo, we'll go with that."  But then as I was writing, it made more sense for Hershel to be a lot younger if he was going to get help from the mysterious outsider.  Then I made another little servant girl, and later I decided they were siblings and that her name was Syn.  They were just supposed to be cameos that weren't really mentioned again.  With Phos, I just wanted that random crazy old healer dude who acts really weird and knows too much.  I wanted him to not have a name to make him quirky, but I wanted him to have some old, guru-sounding name that he went by.  I thought about it forever and finally decided that "Phos" sounded like an old-timey guru name.  He also was just supposed to be a weird dude that appeared a few times.  But then I needed more things to write about, and I shot Syn on accident (I know that sounds weird but like it wasn't really planned until I was writing the scene and it kind of just happened.  It was supposed to just be that assassins came for Keyda, but I was like crap the little personal servant kids would be in there.  Maybe one of them gets hurt? That will give Cole the chance to meet that old timely guru that I felt like needed to exist.)  Hershel unlocked his powers because he was really taking the loss hard and I was like he obviously really loves his sister that feels like something that would be equal to Keyda losing Cole...whoops. His powers are unlocked now.  Of course, by this point they all sort of became secondary characters, and they continued to just sort of grow on their own within the story.  Phos ended up with this tragic backstory that I didn't even know about and Ves figured out he was an Ancient of all things, and Hershel and Syn grew and became stronger and their characters more apparent.

  Wow I've gotten way off track of the original ask here, but basically, I give characters a name, and then they sort of just start developing their personalities as they go.  The five guards that helped Keyda--Tolan, Retrevan, Jaqah, Ves, and Omar--were also just supposed to be one-off characters.  I gave them a name and like one character trait and I was just going to leave them at that.  But then Maddie kept asking me about their background and demanding that they have more of a presence in the story.  About half of them did.  I liked Tolan, Ret, and Jaqah, so I used them more in plot. Ves went off on his adventure (he was not supposed to come back evil but what can I do?  I leave my characters for five seconds and they join forces with some evil entity.  RIP Vesly) Poor Omar just didn't ever really interest me so I kind of gave him a happy ending and left him alone (in case you were wondering, he lives in the south with his wife Pema and his three children.)As far as thinking up names, a lot of it literally is me staring at the keyboard of my computer and putting sounds together until it sounds like what I want it to.  That probably doesn't make much sense, but here's an example: "I don't have any "J" names.  J...j...Ja...Jab?  No, I don't like Jab. Jack?  Too cliche.  Jacka?  Ooooo better.  Sounds like a girl's name.  Jacka can be a girl.  Don't like that spelling tho; too American.  Jaqah?  Yup.  There it is."  Retrevan just sort of came into my brain unannounced, same as Tolan.  I was thinking about their characters and poof, they had a name.  Did some more thinking and decided on Ves because it sounded cool and foreign and his character trait was that, he was the "foreign one."  And Omar just felt like a good fit (its also a very common middle eastern name). As far as Oni terms, I think I looked up random words in random languages for some of them (I think the Norah Ku was something that I did this with.)  I honestly cannot remember where I got the name Xinta.  I think I just liked the sound of the word? It sounded powerful and ethereal.  It probably has some tie to some subconscious thing I heard somewhere.  Who knows. 

I thought up Theo and Amber's name back when I finished HOTO because I was brainstorming what Cole and Keyda's children would be like if they ever had kids (though I was adamant that I would never write about them...)  I knew their names would be Theo and Amber.  Amber's name really did come from the color of her eyes and I just really loved the name Theo.  But when it came down to it and I was writing FOTO a year and a half later or however long it was, Theo didn't sound like the other Oni names that I had made.  So I played around with different names that could have Theo for a nickname, and Theodynn sounded the best. Also when I first thought these two characters up, their personalities were very different.  Theo was supposed to be a very serious little boy who didn't talk a lot, and Amber was supposed to be very sensitive and emotional.  I think those personalities got stuck in my brain though--when I thought about it later on, I realized that Hershel and Syn were the original Theo and Amber personalities.  By the time I was writing FOTO, I was still going to write them the same way, but by the time Theo was born he just didn't want to be serious and dour.  He wanted to be happy and bubbly and run around ignorant of all the bad things in the world.  Then Amber was born and she was so independent and fiery that I couldn't make her the little sensitive girl that I had envisioned.  She still had self-image issues she had to work out, but she was less an emotional wreck about it as she was jaded and fiercely independent. It's strange that characters can turn out so differently than what you first think. This is probably a lot more information than you were wanting, but there's a peek into the process of how I name/ write characters.  If you couldn't tell, they kind of take over haha.  Thanks for the ask! -NP

Kissing Prompt: at a party / admiration

*shows up two weeks late with Starbucks AU* Guys, I can explain. 

Sorry it’s so late, but it’s a long one and no, I did not come up with the idea for this fic after thinking up that hilarious opening line (i’m kidding, that’s totally what happened) Paring: Shirbert. Words: 2800 and change.

Gilbert was tired of his job. Working in the service industry was horrible. People were rude, demanding, and horrible tippers. Still, he had to pay for school somehow, and this was the only place that would hire him. Being a Starbucks barista wasn’t too bad, he tried to remind himself. The bell that signaled that someone opened the door rang and Gilbert didn’t notice, he kept making the grande Caramel Machiatto that was assigned to him. “You get that,” Billy said. “I’m taking my break.” Gilbert rolled his eyes and looked to see who was waiting at the register. It was two girls, one had black, raven like hair. The other had red hair that hung down in two braids and a freckles. She was beautiful.Gilbert moved over to the register. The girl with black hair went first. “I’ll have a Venti Mocha, no whip cream.”“And what’s your name?” Gilbert asked.“Diana” the girl responded. She paid, then moved aside and let the other girl step forward.“What would you like this afternoon?” Gilbert asked her.“A Venti Shaken Ice Tea,” the young woman said. “Black.”“Would you like lemonade with it?” Gilbert asked.“No thank you,” she responded. Gilbert liked people that always used please and thank you with servers, even before he became one. It said a lot about their character. J. K. Rowling had a quote about it. “Judge a person not by how he treats his equals, but by how he treats his interiors. That is the true measure of a man.” “And what is your name?” Gilbert asked, leaning forward a bit in anticipation.The girl smiled. “Call me Cordelia.”“Cordelia,” he smiled, writing it on the cup. “Spelled like it sounds, I assume.”“Naturally,” Codelia answered him.“It’s a beautiful name,” he said, and bit his tongue from also saying how it suits such a beautiful girl. “You’re drinks will be ready shortly,” he addressed both of them, turning around to finish the Caramel Machiato before staring on their drinks. Gilbert looked over at Cordelia’s cup. He knew what Billy would do in his place. Billy must have written his number on half the cups he gave out, but Gilbert didn’t want to do that. He didn’t want Cordelia to feel weird, or obligated to call him, or obligated to stay away from this Starbucks if she didn’t. So he didn’t write his number. He gave them their drinks without incident.On their walk home, Diana and Anne were discussing their coffee attendant.“He’s cute,” Diana said.“Objectively speaking, yes,” Anne responded. “Please, looking at him you got the exact same look in your eye that you get whenever you see Tom Holland. You like him.”“I do not like him.”“Yes you do. You like him so much. You are absolutely smitten.”“Am not,” Anne continued to insist. “Please, you are already naming your future kids. You can deny it all you want but I am your best freind. You can’t hide anything from me.”

Gilbert took a picture of Cordelia’s receipt and made sure he was working that time next week. He knew it was probably a long shot but he figured that if they were walking to or coming from class, they would be there at the same time. Sure enough, they were there again. “Diana, right?” Gilbert asked as the first girl approached the registrar.“Yeah,” Diana said. “Though this time I would like a Hot Chocolate.”“Venti again?” Gilbert asked as he punched it in.“You know it,” Diana smiled. Then she looked back at Anne and got an idea. “You know, we were just going to go straight home but my extremely attractive freind here wanted to get Starbucks on the way.” Diana gestured the the blushing figure behind her.“Your drink will be ready soon,” Gilbert smiled, unsure how to respond. Diana stepped off to the side and Cordelia stepped up. “Sorry about my freind,” Cordelia apologised. “No need,” Gilbert smiled. “I wish I had a freind that invested in my happiness.”As if being summoned, Billy appeared and trapped one arm over Gilbert. “So is this the chick?” He asked, loudly.Gilbert didn’t like Billy that much, but if you are asking to trade shifts they usually won’t without an explanation. So when Gilbert started asking around to see who was working, the story of the enchanting Cordelia also started circling. “Hey, girl,” Billy addressed Cordelia now. “My bud Blythe here traded his prime Wendsday afternoon shift for this one, I hope you make it worth his while,” Billy winked at Cordelia, making her instantly uncomfortable. “Hey Billy, don’t you have to be whipping tables?” Gilbert asked, trying to get him as fat away from the girl as possible. “Fine,” Billy said, walki g away slowly, “but I expect details but.”“I’m not your bud,” he said to the space Billy had been moments ago. “I’m not his bud,” he told Cordelia. She looked down, still very uncomfortable. “Now I feel like I have to apologize,” Gilbert said sheepishly.“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Anne pointed out.“I suppose not. How about if I just take your order.”“Black Venti Shaken Ice Tea, please,” said Cordelia.“Name?” Gilbert asked, trying to sound like he hadn’t been dreaming about her the entire week. “Penelope,” the girl formerly called Cordelia said. Gilbert took a double take. “Ummm, last time you said it was Cordelia,” he pointed out.“Last time I felt like a Cordelia. This time I feel like a Penelope.”“So, Cordelia wasn’t your real name,” Gilbert clarified.“It was, at that moment.”Gilbert felt a lump form in his throat. He knew people used fake names at Starbucks all the time, but it didn’t occur to him that she might. He had been practicing writing Cordelia over and over in his notebook, trying to make sure his handwriting was the best it could be. It felt weird that to have been obsessing over a lie.“Coming right up,” he said in a monotone voice.He went to make their drinks, his body doing the work and his mind was to distracted by this new revelation. Anne went to wait by her freind.“Did you see that?” Diana said in a whisper to her freind. “What?” Anne asked.“He told his freind about you!”“They are not friends,” Anne quoted Gilbert.“And he traded shifts for you.”“So what?”“So what? So you’ve read so much fanfiction, I thought you would know a Starbucks soulmate AU when you’re in one.” Anne rolled her eyes. “Think about it,” Diana pressed on. “You have the hots for him. He has the hots for you. It’s fate.”“I don’t think he likes me now that he knows I lied about my name. He probably doesn’t want to date a liar.”“He’ll get over it,” Diana said. Sure enough, when they picked up their drinks, Gilbert smiled warmly at them. “Beautiful name, Penelope,” he said. “It really suits you.”“That’s why I chose it,” she smiled back as they left the store.Gilbert made sure he had the exact same shift next week, and the week after. Soon, everyone knew about Gilbert’s mystery girl. They started trying to get placed onto that shift with him just so they could see her. Gilbert was the kind of guy girls went crazy over, never the other way around. But the look in his eyes whenever he talked about her made them all know he was really smitten. It wasn’t just a crush, but if it was it was the biggest crush they’ve ever seen.Anne kept giving new names, and she enjoyed coming up with them. She had lists in her notebooks of all the ones she wanted to try out on him, and Diana joked that they were going to name their kids off thoes list. Anne acted like she didn’t like the teasing, but what she actually didn’t like was being constantly reminded of what she wants but could never have. Still, Gilbert worshiped her. He kept careful track of all the names she’s used. After Penelope there was Alex. Then Remy, Amelia, Lucinda, Wendy, Maria, Tammy, and Theodore Washington the Third. “Name?” Gilbert asked, his favourite moment of the week was hearing how the girl answered that question.“Autumn,” she said, blissfully.“A beautiful choice,” he said. “It suits you.”“What?” Anne asked suddenly. Did he just call her beutiful.“Because of the red hair,” he pointed out. “It’s very autumn-y.” Gilbert recovered quickly, but was scared at how close he came to calling her beautiful.“That’s not why she picked it, though,” said the ever-present Diana. “She picked it because she has Cole’s new show on her mind.”“Who’s Cole?” Gilbert asked. Did this girl have a boyfriend? It made sense that she would already have a boyfriend. “Our freind,” Anne said. “He has a new show opening up downtown called The Fourth Season. We are going to it on Saturday.”“Can I come too?” Gilbert asked. “I’d love to support local artists.” “Sure,” Diana said. “Let’s give you the info.” Anne produced a pen and Gilbert gave her a napkin. Anne wrote down the time and place and handed it back.“I look forward to seeing you there,” she said as the two girls left the shop.

Gilbert must have tried on at least 15 outfits. None of them seemed exactly right. He wanted to impress the girl, it would be the first time she saw him in something other than his uniform. He wanted to look relaxed, but not too relaxed. Informal and approachable but also like he still put in a effort. Nothing seemed right, though, and it was almost time to leave. He decided to go back to the 4th or 5th outfit. A simple dark red button up shirt, a black dinner jacket, and brown slacks. He didn’t know what the other were wearing but this seemed appropriate for an art exhibit. He left the house and headed over.It was an average size gallery. Not big, but not a whole on the wall either. On all the walls there were pictures. Photographes. But they were photographes of sculptures. Gilbert walked over to the first one he saw. It was a scene of a forest. There were three sculptures, around waist high, dancing in the center of a clearing, raising their hands to the sky. In the center of the circle of statues, there was a real life figure. She was moving fast, spinning as she lifted off the ground. It was doing that thing where there was a long exposure so the photo was blurry but Gilbert could clearly identify the woman in the center as him mystery girl. He smiled. Her face was mostly blurred but the artist, it must have been Cole, kept her smile crystal clear. Gilbert always loved her smile above anything else, he was glad he wasn’t the only one who did.He wanted to keep walking, but knew it was more important to find the girl. He looked around the room and wandered around, lost.“You look lost,” a man said, walking up to him. “I’m Evan, the artist’s boyfriend.” “Nice to meet you,” Gilbert said, shaking his hand. “I was supposed to meet someone here, but I can’t see her.”“What’s her name?” Evan asked.“I… I don’t actually know,” Gilbert confessed.“Well, what does she look like?” Evan asked.“Beautiful,” Gilbert said, looking dreaming off into the middle distance. “She’s the most beautiful girl in the world.”“You’re looking for Ruby,” Evan says. “Makes sense, you are her type for a one night stand.”“Oh no,” Gilbert quickly objected. “This isn’t a one night stand.”“Then why don’t you know her name?” Evans pointed out.“Because every week she gives a different one,” Gilbert tried to explain. “Wait,” Evan said as something clicked in his head. “Are you… Gilbert? Starbucks Gilbert?”“Yes!” Gilbert said happily. “Do you know where she is?”“I know where she was,” Evan said. “She was helping Cole in the back room.” “Well, where is she now?” Gilbert was so close. “Right there,” Evans pointed. Gilbert followed his finger to where his mystery girl, Diana, and a man that must have been Cole were emerging from a doorway. They were all laughing together and having a good time. “Let’s go,” Evans said, leading Gilbert over to where the three friends were standing. As Gilbert approached the girl, he noticed her dress. It was a cute 50s style purple halter dress. Her hair was no longer in two braids, and was in a fancy up-do instead. She had simple makeup on, the most noticable part being her bright red lipstick. It made you really notice her lips, which Gilbert was already doing even before she added the colouring.Gilbert straightened his jacket as they approved the trio. “Guess who I found!” Evan said, drawing their eyes to the two boys. He went over to kiss his boyfriend as Anne approached Gilbert. “I’m so glad you came,” Anne said.“That’s what she said!” shouted an anonymous voice in the crowd. “Shut up, Patrick!” Anne shouted back. She obviously knew everyone here, and they all knew her. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world,” he promised her. “So your Starbucks Gilbert,” Cole said, having suffencently greeted his boyfriend. “You must be Cole. It’s an honour.” They shook hands warmly. “I love the photos. You must have spent a lot of time working on the sculptures. But I have to ask-”“If I spent all that time on the sculptures why not just present them?” Cole finished the sentence. “ Because I didn’t create the sculptures to be shown in a gallery. I created them to be shown where they were. To reflect and augment and be augmented by their surrounding. The trees at what inspired and guided my work, to take it away in the final stages before showcasing, to showcase it without context, seemed cruel and almost crippling.”Everyone nodded along as Cole spoke, listening intently.“But why is it called the four seasons? I only see fall and a bit of winter.” Gilbert addressed Cole, curious.“Well, the plan was to come back once every month for a year, documenting the statues in all four seasons,” Cole loomed down, bitterly. “But-”“But someone came and destroyed it,” Evan finished.Gilbert was horrified. “Who would do that?” he wondered.“Whoever it was destroyed months of work,” Cole said bitterly. “I decided just to proceed with the show as planed, keeping the same title out of spite for whoever thinks they have control over what I do, say, or feel.”“Good,” Gilbert said firmly. “When someone hurts you that bad, they aren’t worth your anger.” “Thank you,” Cole said, looking at Gilbert respectfully. “Oh, please excuse me,” Cole said. “I just spotted my old mentor Miss Josephine and have to go say hi.”Cole left, and Evan followed him. So did Diana, leaving Gilbert and the girl alone. He looked over at her fondly.“Can I ask you a question?” Gilbert asked, very seriously.“You may,” the girl nodded, understanding that this would be a serious issue.“What is your name?” he asked. The girl in front of him held back laughter. “It’s not funny,” he tried to insist while also laughing slightly. “I’ve known you for two months, you are my favourite customer, and we are becoming pretty good freind and I still don’t know your name. You wouldn’t believe the awkward conversation I had with Evan. I need to know your name.”Anne stopped laughing and looked at him. She stared deep into his eyes, accidentally falling in love without even realizing it. “Anne. Spelled with an E.”“Anne,” Gilbert repeated. “You hate it,” Anne said, immideatly panicking . “I know you do. I hate it too. That’s why I hate sharing it.”“No, no, no,” Gilbert said quickly. “I don’t hate it. I love it.”Anne looked up from her panicked state. “You do?”“Of course,” Gilbert assured her, stepping forward and putting his hands on her arms to help calm her down. “It suits you. It may not be the fanciest name, but it’s reliable. Safe. Beautiful. Small, but full of life, passion and happiness. Like I said, I love it.” It was obvious that the last sentence wasn’t referring to the name, rather the person bearing the name. Anne looked up into Gilbert’s eyes and felt her soul leave her body as they kissed. He didn’t kiss her, she didn’t kiss him, they kissed each other, both leaning in at the exact same time. Anne closed her eyes as she felt the kiss, felt his tongue rub against hers. She melted into it, into him, and wanted to stay there forever.

What started as a search for a middle name for my fanfiction ended up as the meaning of the ninja’s names and headcanons to go along.

Lloyd “gray” in Welsh - Misako wanted to name him after a historical person.  Garmadon decided to give him something original.  He wanted a name that symbolized greatness.  They agreed on Lloyd since grey hair is a sign of age and wisdom.  They suspected greatness since he’s in the family line with the First Spinjitzu Master. - He’s learning and gaining wisdom.  Hopefully, he’ll get grey hair in the distant future.

Kai “sea” in Hawaiian - After joking about what his element would be, it turned into an inside joke and a name war.  Ray eventually gave up if his wife would admit they were having a girl.  They intentionally decided on “Kailie” since they decided it would be a girl.  After finding out it was a boy, they named him “Kai”. - His parent’s assumption was wrong.  He does resemble a wild sea, but fire is a better comparison since he is hard to control.

Cole “coal” in Old English originating from “col” in Old English - Lou is great with naming songs but not people.  He left it to Cole’s mother to think of a name but wanted to approve it.  His artistic mother chose the name as an analogy while thinking about the battles she went on.  Coal takes years to form from dead fossils.  His history will form him because it affected his parents who will affect him.  Lou loved it. - He is hard like coal but has a soft side unlike it.  He rubs off on others like coal dust.

Jay “to rejoice” originates from Latin, “J” is a nickname for someone who talks a lot - When Clif found out Libber was pregnant and was beyond happy.  Jay was Libbers’ and Cliffs’ joy.  When looking for a name, they wanted something simple.  Libber joked about naming him a single letter.  Cliff noticed they could name him “Jay”.  They both liked it and the meaning fit in. - He is consistently joyful as his name defines.  His habit of talking is a plus to his name.

Zane “gracious gift” in Hebrew - He built Zane to test his limits.  After meeting the Elemental Master of Ice, he noticed the importance of succeeding.  It took long days and sleepless nights to finish Zane.  When Zane finally worked, Dr. Julien saw him as a gift hence the name. - Zane was an amazing gift because he inspired new unbelievable technology to be made.

Nya “purpose” in Swahili - Her parents couldn’t find any names they liked that meant fire.  Maya found the name “Aya” meaning “beautiful” in Japanese.  When talking to each other about names, Ray misheard “Aya” as “Nya” and told her what it meant.  She liked it a lot more. - Before she was a ninja, she made herself useful by helping Sensei Wu, putting her inventing ability to work, fighting as Samurai X.

Join The Bunker Party!

Ohhhhhh baby, it’s that time again! 

February’s Bunker Party is here! 

The Men of Letters Headquarters will be the location of a Bunker Party once again and I am SO excited to see your darling faces, hear your wonderful voices and just have a fun filled evening.

SO! Come and join me, and a few of my already confirmed wonderful friends and authors on here, for the event of the month! Going LIVE this SATURDAY (February 27th, 2021) on Jitsi!

Yes…SATURDAY. I know we normally do these on a Friday but due to circumstances changing in personal lives, it is now being held on SATURDAY.

You can join the Bunker Party in all manner of ways. Video, audio or just using the chat function! If you wish to remain anonymous, that option is available too. You pick your name when you enter. I will provide the link details on the night.

We’re cool with whatever you’re comfortable with!

We can talk fanfiction, writing, talk about the SPN cast, cons, favorite episodes, play games, have a ton of laughs and a hell of a frickin’ good time! Maybe you can even persuade some of the regular livestream guests to sing and dance, they’ve done it before! If you have any suggestions, please let us know!

How to join?

If you’re using your phone - you will need to download the free app to join us.

If you’re using your laptop or PC, just use the link provided on the night!

It’s that simple!

Timezone Information:

Los Angeles: Saturday 27th @ 12PM New York: Saturday 27th @ 3PM London: Saturday 27th @ 8PM Paris: Saturday 27th @ 9PM Melbourne: Sunday 28th @ 7AM

Guidelines for the evening and tags are below the cut (so I’m not clogging anyone’s dash)

Guidelines:

This chat is HATE FREE.

Drink alcohol responsibly. It’s fine to have a drink if you wish to but please don’t get intoxicated while on the streams. We want the live streams to be a place of fun and laughter, but also a place where people can ask us serious questions and receive honest and heartfelt answers.

Please don’t ask personal and direct questions to livestream participants. I.E sexuality, personal experiences, lifestyle choices, religion, ETC. This puts people on the spot and not everyone may be as open as you are (if you are). We want everyone to feel comfortable whilst participating in these streams.

Let people speak. Do not talk over one another when a question is being answered. If you have something to add; an opinion, an idea or a suggestion, please let the person finish speaking first. On Jitsi there is a chat function and a raise hand function, please use these to save talking over each other. We want to hear everyone and avoid anyone suffering from sensory overload; this can take away the enjoyment of the streams. If these rules are broken, we reserve the right to kick you from the stream for the remaining participants safety.

Be mindful and respectful of others.

Any questions? Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me! I’m super excited and I hope to see you there!

Tags below the cut (tagging those who participated last time & forevers. If you could signal boost, that would be fab! Thank you!)
