A contest!
For whom?
For you!


Do you love Supernatural? Jared? Jensen? Sam'n'Dean? Metallicar?


Then you're in the right place.

Yours truly (that would be moi) will give away one (1) free (gratis!) copy of the brand new, just-on-the-shelves anthology In The Hunt: Unauthorized Essays on Supernatural.

Why? Because (a) it's a fabulous anthology with (b) fantastic authors and (c) I have an essay in it (Another Roadside Attraction, page 237). (Yes, I will totally sign the book...or not, whichever the winner prefers)

The winner will be chosen totally at random from anyone who comments to this blog post answering the following questions: (I promise, there are no wrong answers!)

(A) In the last 3.5 seasons, what would you choose as your favorite episode and why (in 50 words or less).

(B) If you could create a new character in the Supernatural 'verse and (assuming you were an actor), play him/her on TV, who would the character be? Name, occupation and what role does this person play in the 'verse.

(C) What fabulous '80s song, blues song, jazz song, any song has *not* yet been part of the Supernatural soundtrack but utterly belongs there? (tell me the song title and artist)

(D) Dean? Sam? John? Someone else?


RULES: (yes, we have to have them)

(1) you must tell me who you are (be logged in to LJ, openID or, if you don't have an account, leave at least your first name and last initial in the post - so if you win, I can say Jane D or superfan, you've won!!

(2) You must answer all 4 questions.
[/end rules]

I will ship anywhere that can receive physical mail. Yes, that means outside the US and Canada. If you're waaaaaay far away from me, I may choose a slower postal service because, despite the impression that writers make tons of money, I am not rich. ::g::

So, answer away. Feel free to pimp this contest to all and sundry.

Contest closes at midnight (duh!) February 28, 2009.
All results are final.
No robots need apply.

Hi Maria! Yay. I love Supernatural.

Please enter me in your contest. Here are my answers:

A) In the last 3.5 seasons, what would you choose as your favorite episode and why (in 50 words or less).

I would chose In the Beginning (http://www.tv.com/supernatural/in-the-beginning/episode/1222866/summary.html) because I absolutely loved finding out that Mary was the one with the 'hunter' history and not John. I loved it so much. It also helped clear up a few things about the Winchester past.

(B) If you could create a new character in the Supernatural 'verse and (assuming you were an actor), play him/her on TV, who would the character be? Name, occupation and what role does this person play in the 'verse.

Oooh, good question. I'd love to be some sort of psychic/oracle-type person. This person would be in constant communication with the boys and help them out whenever they needed psychic help. :) Oh, and her name would be Tery (short for Mystery).

(C) What fabulous '80s song, blues song, jazz song, any song has *not* yet been part of the Supernatural soundtrack but utterly belongs there? (tell me the song title and artist)

'Round and Round' by Ratt. Yeah.

(D) Dean? Sam? John? Someone else?

Dean. Totally. ;)

Shoot- I don't watch Supernatural, so I can't answer any of your questions, but I wanted to drop by anyway.

Epside 1.01 Wendigo. I love the mythos behind this episode.

Cadence, Private Detective, Woven in and out of episodes as she follows missing persons, weird behaviors and continues to run into the Winchesters

Hi there.

(A) I loved Bloodlust. It's because I love Vampires and see some on Supernatural was fun. And it had Amber Benson so a mega plus.

(B) I would create a witch named Lavender. She would fight against evil herself and would stumble over Dean and Sam and would help them for a while.

(C) Very hard question. After all I was still in my diapers around that time. I think Madonna's Like a Virgin could bring a little fun into a scene. ^^ Not a good choice I know.

(D) I guess Im all for Sam hehe.

A) Night Shifter: the perfect balance of humour and scariness. I wish Ronald had stuck around for an episode or two. (Or they'd done a better job when he... oh, spoiler. ;-D)

B) Mary Sue Monsterslayer: The perfect female with whom they both fall in love. She'd have lavender eyes and masses of raven tresses. She'd be a vampire who could walk in sunlight and is psychic so there'd never be any misunderstandings. And she'd be Canadian, okay?

C) Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic. It's a stoner song, so next time one of the boys gets drugged...

D) Dean. Dean. Did I mention Dean?

A Very Supernatural Christmas. They're adorable in this, and it's got wee!chesters, and Spencer Garrett in a goofy sweater. IT MAKES ME HAPPY.

(B) If you could create a new character in the Supernatural 'verse and (assuming you were an actor), play him/her on TV, who would the character be? Name, occupation and what role does this person play in the 'verse.

If I was playing a character on Supernatural, I'd want my character to be invisible. I think it's the only way to not have half of fandom automatically hate a female character. So, Flora Griffin, the invisible girl. At first the boys are hunting her but then they find out she's not evil. Ta da! Also, she is not a love interest for either of them (although maybe she could be set up with Pamela, mm, Pamela - and Pam would be able to see her).

(C) What fabulous '80s song, blues song, jazz song, any song has *not* yet been part of the Supernatural soundtrack but utterly belongs there? (tell me the song title and artist)

Blue Öyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin. Although, really that should have been in season one or two. NEVERTHELESS.

ALSO. I am instructed to vote for Night Ranger - Sister Christian. *cough*

(D) Dean? Sam? John? Someone else?

Yes.

(No, seriously. I like pretty much everyone.)

I bought In the Hunt and a fellow blogger friend, bardicvoice, told me that you had quoted from my blog on TV Guide called Supernatural Woman in your Trickster essay. I just wanted to comment to thank you SO MUCH for mentioning me and for finding my observations worth quoting. I was thrilled and wanted to introduce myself. Thanks again!

I'm glad that you enjoyed reading my blogs on TV Guide. It's too bad they decided to get rid the community blogs. I hope to continue them here in LJ. Please feel free to comment anytime. It's always welcome.

We went looking for you to try and get you a review copy, and of course found the TVGuide blogs gone. Glad you ended up with a copy anyway, though I wish I'd been able to track you down before you'd bought it!

Thank you SO MUCH for thinking of me!!! Sadly, TV Guide did pull all of us off. I did manage to keep copies of my blogs so that I could read them again. I'll have to find my Mystery Spot one and read it again. I so appreciate again, your mention of me. Feel free to quote me anytime. I have way too much fun analyzing the show and our brothers Winchester! I do admit I probably get carried way at times with my speculations, but it's oh so fun!

Thanks again!

a) That would be Asylum. I have a weird fascination with old asylums and old loony doctors, they scare the shit out of me. I think it ties with my fascination with serial killers and other evil people.

b) I would want to be a professor in a university. Someone the boys could come to with problems, if Bobby wasn't around/couldn't help them. I'd be a professor in folklore and occult and my name would be Cynthia. I would not be their love interest ('cause that would just be boring and complicate things), I would simply be a good friend who knew their secret and would be able to keep it. It would maybe help if my family was a family of hunters, and I could claw my way out of it, just like Sam couldn't.

c) Take a bow - Muse.

d) Dean.

A) 1.06: Skin (http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Skin).

I'm so not articulate with these things, but I'll try.

It's early on, and there's this tension between the boys that hasn't surfaced yet but the shapeshifter feels it and taunts at least Sam with it. I love the scene where he tells Sam about Dean's issues with Sam. And just the whole episode is brilliant. :D

B) Hmmm. Danielle, probably Dani for short. Librarian. The library where she works is haunted, somebody died there mysteriously and it was in the papers. When they show up and say they are whatever they say they are, she doesn't really believe them but she knows something funky is going on. lol. After they've solved the case, umh, Dean hits on her and she just looks at him all really? XD

(I think he's damn hot, but somehow I don't think she'd be impressed. *Sigh* Don't ask. XD)

c) Pretty When You Cry by VAST (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Pretty-When-You-Cry-lyrics-VAST/52C193C88430F9D248256D5D002E9B35)

I think it could fit if it was showing some twisted bastard or umh, female bastard being all evil. Whatever. Or like dark evil Sam if that ever happens. lol.

D) DEAN

(I love 'em all, and Bobby, Pam and Castiel but yeah, Dean.)

(A) In the last 3.5 seasons, what would you choose as your favorite episode and why (in 50 words or less).-- Yeah, there may be more meaningful to the whole arc/to the Dean&Sam (or Dean/Sam) dynamic episodes, but the one with the suicidal Teddy Bear will always make me laugh the most. So Wishful Thinking

(B) If you could create a new character in the Supernatural 'verse and (assuming you were an actor), play him/her on TV, who would the character be? Name, occupation and what role does this person play in the 'verse.-- I would be a writer with never ending ideas, only it would turn out I was somehow stealing the creativity from others. Kind of an anti-muse? My name would be Alanna Smithee.

(C) What fabulous '80s song, blues song, jazz song, any song has *not* yet been part of the Supernatural soundtrack but utterly belongs there? (tell me the song title and artist)-- I'd love to see them use Genesis' Home By the Sea, and Second Home by the Sea.(A song about ghosts)

(D) Dean? Sam? John? Someone else? -- What, I have to choose? Argh. I'd probably get along better with Sam. Dean can just sit and look pretty.
