Idling In The Impala | a ride through SPN fandom and fanfiction

Sandra and Kasey were delighted to welcome Candice, known as CLeighWrites, back to the podcast. Candice recently returned to writing SPN fanfic after a year-long break and has been working on some original writing. She graciously accepted the invite to be taken (gently) to task on her original fiction journey.

Sandra and Kasey are chatting with an absolute gem of a fandom friend in this episode. Sandra had the pleasure of meeting Jackie in real life in September 2024 at the CreationCon in DC. Jackie, known as jinkieswouldyoulookatthis, in many a fandom circle, identifies as a bibro (for clarification purposes ~ Dean!girl with an obsessive Sam!kink). She’s been posting Supernatural fanfic on AO3 since 2015 and has massive creativity beyond storytelling. She’s got a new podcast that focuses on one of her hyperfixations: Wincest and the relationship between Sam and Dean that makes Supernatural an unforgettable show for its fans.

Sandra and Kasey had so many things to cover with Jackie and they only scratched the surface. It’s a long one, listeners, but super enjoyable.

Have a listen to Jackie’s podcast, “The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean” here.

Editor's Note: Trigger warnings for a lengthy discussion on trauma responses and torture thresholds that starts at 29:00 minutes and runs from about 49:00 minutes. We delve into hypothetical theory that was not meant to be viewed as insensitive to current real-world situations.

Sandra and Kasey got to chat with a very special guest who manages a legendary resource well-known in the Supernatural fandom. Jules is the managing editor of SuperWiki, a Supernatural Canon and Fandom resource. This site about the CW show Supernatural is a collaborative archive used far and wide for decades. It’s helped the production of creative projects and settled debates worldwide. 

Jules talked about her fandom journey and the monumental task of maintaining an evolving and ongoing canon encyclopedia, being an SPN advisor on The Winchesters, and so much more!

Check out the Supernatural Wiki here.

You can follow SuperWiki and contact Jules on BlueSky and Twitter.

Sandra and Kasey are doing a character(s) deep dive into the Archangels in this episode. After their Princes of Hell discussion, it seemed fitting to talk about the four on the tippy top of the angel hierarchy. Full disclosure: this episode was recorded at the end of a 6+ hour recording day. Sandra decided to keep what would usually be outtakes in this episode. How often can you listen to two exhausted individuals tangent from Supernatural to the Bible to the Lucifer TV show to Norse mythology (including an eight-legged horse) and angel wing color all in one episode?

It’s another Tags and Tropes episode in which Sandra and Kasey focus on a category or aspect of fanfiction they may or may not have delved into before. The genre up for discussion is Metafic and Self-Insert. It’s a bit of a headscratcher and encompasses a variety of fic types.

Podfic Narration Time – “Still Driving” by monicawoe

If you’ve caught our interview with monicawoe, you know most of her stories center around the struggles of one demon-blood-addicted Sam Winchester. This is one of those short dark tales that leans into Monica’s storytelling ability.

Please visit the fic on AO3 and give it a kudo and comment - it deserves a ton of praise!

Rated Mature

Dean Winchester & Sam Winchester

Summary: 

Dean is driving the car.

That’s all he’s doing. He’s got his eyes on the road, and hasn’t spared a glance at Sam for a solid forty minutes.

Sandra and Kasey were lucky to chat with a fanfic author who has contributed over 100 Supernatural stories to the Archive of Our Own library for the fandom to enjoy and consume for well over a decade.

Known as monicawoe on AO3 and Tumblr, Monica is a self-proclaimed multifandom writer, and her Supernatural corner of fanfiction is just as varied and explorative. But Kasey may have found their kindred fic spirit when it comes to Sam and the question, “What if it just bends a little?”

Find Monicawoe’s Supernatural fics here on AO3.

The artwork that started it all for Monicawoe and Quickreaver:
