Do you have time on your hands?
Do you have a deep love for the T.V. show Supernatural?
Did you used to have a deep love for Supernatural, until Season 9 aired?
Do you want to do something to change it?
Well you’re in luck! We folks over here at SPNFanimation want YOUR help to make Season 9, well, a lot better than it has been.
Due to the large amount of complaints that have been floating around the internet about Supernatural since Season 9 aired, us folks at SPNFanimation decided to listen to what was making people bothered. And listen, we did.
Being short on a few Jared Pada-somethings and Evil GISHWHES Masterminds, we decided that the best course of action would be to animate Season 9 and let it play out the way that we, the people, martians, and artificial intelligenti on Tumblr, wanted it to.
Unfortunately, we aren’t only short on ridiculously tall and attractive men, we are also short on animators, voice actors, and script writers. We also need blogs with a high follow count to generate excitement and promote this project so that we can reach the aforementioned people.
Don’t animate, voice act, script write, or have many followers? We still need you! We only have about 30 people on board with this project so far, and to make sure our project lifts off the ground, we need followers!
The SPNFanimation team’s main blog can be found atSPNFanimation.tumblr.com.
The admins behind the project can be found at their own personal blogs for questions and general positive support. (John, the brain behind the project can be found at bendy-sammy.tumblr.com, and Daniel, the brawn behind getting this project in the air can be found at halfmyotpisdead.tumblr.com.)
We welcome ANY of the following;
- Questions
- Concerns
- Applications (We will pay you in gratitude and the warm feeling you get in your soul when you help others out.)
- IDEAS! We need ideas folks, so if there’s something you don’t like about Season 9, or something you wish the writers would have done, PLEASE drop us a line! We will take ALL ideas into consideration while working on the scripts!
- Positive feedback
- Constructive feedback
- General feedback
We welcome NONE of the following;
- Bad vibes
If you want to see some episode titles and episode plots as we have them thusofar (they are subject to change depending on the feedback we receive about them!), you can find that wonderful list HERE.
Interested in voicing a part? Audition lines can be found HERE.
Scriptwriters can write a short, page-long script based on one of the episode ideas and submit it via email to eithertheawesomeepiccanadian@hotmail.ca (John) or breezyskye@att.net(Daniel).
Like a character? Don’t like a character? TELL US. Characters will be added or removed based on public support and believably. (We’re not going to have a mass resurrection of every dead character on the show. One or two of them, however… We can fudge the fates a bit.)
So far, all positions are open. This post will be updated whenever a position becomes unavailable (for example, if a voice actor takes the position of Castiel or Kevin or someone else).
Don’t forget to reblog! The more blogs this post makes it’s way to, the sooner we can get SPNFanimation off the ground! Tag posts or questions with#SPNFanimation, and follow the tag to get updates.
We thank all of you for your support.

The Art of Walt Disney
"There is an element here that we can no longer afford to overlook. Not only is it short-sighted to fail to keep informed of what is going on in our midst, but we are losing the pleasure that might be ours if we only met the artist halfway. In these days it is essential not only for our self-respect as human beings but also for our sanity that we enjoy to the full what is being created for our enjoyment."
"An idea or a story is a vital thing. The result of some immediate experience, it has an unbroken continuity impossible of isolation and clarification so long as it remains in the mind. Hence, when we wish to share our idea it must consciously be formulated into a pattern so that it may make sense to another. It is only when an idea is expressed, released from the stream of consciousness, that it may be said to have beginning or ending."
"We in the West seem to have lost our belief that the joy of being alive is an essential factor in spiritual growth. With the rising power of the Church and its patronage of the arts, which amounted to a virtual monopoly, all outlets of humorous expression seem to have been discouraged. Admittedly, a splendid profanity underlies much medieval art, but there is always fear of confusing God with the ridiculous. Man's frailty was capitalized; the greater, then, the need for his redemption. His human weaknesses as a source of artistic inspiration were not encouraged. It was only in Northern Europe, with its more enduring reverence for nature, that we were able to retain our pagan playfulness. But even in the North it was not until the early experiments with the woodcut that we began to recover that simplicity of expression appropriate to the needs of the common man. With this new impetus given to the spread of ideas, a normal outlet was once again found for our childish humor. Soon the same kind of funny pictures appeared that had entertained our ancestors before we had become confused by an ever-changing ethic and discouraged by the progress of civilization."
"That is the way all stories develop. In the mind of the story-teller there is no bothersome reliance upon the limitations of fact or upon the sequence of events. Ideas form themselves in the imagination and burst forth at the moment of inspiration.
Unfortunately, however, with out determination to become civilized we are losing interest in such stories. The imagination is suspected. We confuse fancy with misrepresentation, regardless of the fact that all such data are forever unverifiable. The child is warned against "telling stories". His ideas might conflict with the adult conception of truth, and the child might assert authority over the man. That would never do. We must be realists, resisting at al costs any dependence upon dreams. Yet with our growing dependence upon "reality" it does not seem that we have found any happy substitute for our dreams. In fact, so unbeautiful is the unimaginative work of our man-made world that from time to time the child in us revolts and demands surcease from strife. No reasoning will dissuade him. The urge to sit around the hearth once again, even if the hearth is no more homelike than a movie theater, proves too strong. "Tell us a story," we say. "To blazes with the facts!""
"Ideas are nobody's prerogative, either written or spoken. Their origin is the same, that boundless world of the imagination which has been shared by all men since the beginning. The individual patterns ideas according to his nature and passes them on. To claim originality for an idea is to bicker with the Almighty. The individual can only color the idea temporarily with his own personality."
"Now it is true that the story could have been worked out in an infinite variety of ways. Was that way the best? We must remember that much depends on how things shape up in the beginning. Once ideas begin to settle, and a mood begins to pervade the picture as a whole it is going to be more and more difficult later on to reorganize. Everything must be kept open as long as possible and nothing must be overlooked that, if only by its suggestiveness, might act as a spur to a new line of approach."
"As the characters gradually assume their ultimate identity they must be watched carefully, lest they assume privileges not theirs. Like all men they must be born free, but unlike men who have discipline imposed upon them, they must be born disciplined. If one is not prepared beforehand, a character may run away with his part of the story and insist upon intruding himself where he is not wanted."
I just love this book and the beauty of the words used and the way the syntax flows with ease. It is simply gorgeous.
Another idea
I found a picture idea for a book cover of a story I wanted to write called, "Guardian Through the Glass".
It was going to be the magician/sorceress/whatever guiding the hero on an adventure but from the hero's point of view and they would ask the guardian for help whenever they got in trouble. Not very much there. (the glass bit being a crystal ball or whatever)
BUUUUUUUUUUUT:
I got thinking. What if the guardian wasn't just the guardian of one hero but of many. (So this is from the guardian's point of view). And the guardian helped guide the heroes to defeat their villains. Blahblahblah. One hero catches the guardian's eye. The villain isn't predictable. The villain is clever and evades the traps the hero sets. Eventually the hero is cast out and asks the guardian for help. The guardian appears as a hallucination/in a dream/whatever the specifics aren't very important right now. And guides the hero to a tower (cliché woot woot). There we follow the hero through (yet more cliché) dark dungeons
Until we reach the highest room in the tallest tower where we meet the villain.Here comes the maybe predictable plot twist. The villain is the guardian. But the guardian didn't know it. Similar to a split personality type thing (without actually being split personality) the guardian doesn't remember switching between personalities (or could literally have a half-and-half brain. Possibly where guardian was a twin when younger but an accident caused them to fuse and the other twin wants revenge because she was killed by a hero who mistakes her for the evil or something). So then there is an internal battle of good and evil rah rah rah. But not true evil, because the "evil" twin is upset over being killed by the hero and realises the issues with having singular heroes for people who could save themselves...
Oh! Plot point I forgot but don't how it's relevant anymore but could be used instead of the twin thing:
The guardian eventually helps all the heroes to defeat their evils and so is no longer needed. And so has a breakdown. Then we cut to the hero waking up (tribute to The Legend of Zelda the something of something that I can't remember
) and the hero has been chosen by the guardian to stop the new evil (which is the guardian, but again the guardian doesn't know). So the guardian essentially guides the hero to kill the guardian.I really don't know where I'm going with this but what I'm asking is:
Has the "villain" ever helped the hero to defeat the villain's self? In this way?
EDIT:
I FORGOT A VERY IMPORTANT PLOT POINT THINGUMMY:
The guardian helps all the heroes defeat their villains, but whilst she's doing that the evil side of her brain is calculating their weaknesses and systematically kills them all off. That's what the hero has to try to stop. But can't.
AND THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER MAJOR PLOT POINT BECAUSE THE GUARDIAN CAN'T SEEM TO HELP THIS HERO DEFEAT THIS VILLAIN BECAUSE THIS VILLAIN SEEMS TO BE AS POWERFUL AS THE GUARDIAN WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY IMPOSSIBLE!
YAY ME FOR CONFUSING PLOTS!
Animation inspiration has struck
But every villain has an ulterior motive. What I've noticed is that the sea witch makes deals she knows people won't be able to complete their side of so she wins basically. She is an interpretation of the devil.
Her motive is that when the villains fail to kill all of the heroes (because she knows they won't win. She knows the formula for these stories) she'll be able to claim their souls/whatever they bargain with (so for most of the villains it'd be their magic) and she'll then be able to take over the fairy tale world. And, once she's done that and she's managed to harvest all of the magic from the land, she'll have enough power to break through to the real world........ Wait... That's enchanted......... GODDAMNIT.
