Oh, John. Poor poor John :( And wee Dean cuddling wee Sammy in his crib, n'aw. Thankyou for posting this! It's not helping me be patient waiting for the next season (!), but it's still fucking cool to read over.

[hope]

This is all stuff to tide you over until the next season!

I know, omgtheBABIES i heart them so.

I've browsed the site a while ao, but this is much easier to read. Great work.

I'm still not over the anachronistic DNA analysis thing, though, which wasn't even invented until 1984, and looking for DNA traces was certainly not a standard crime scene thing then. It still makes me roll my eyes at whoever wrote and edited the website.

However the Winchesters are all such woobies. *hearts*

[hope]

Thanks :)

True about the DNA thing, but then again, yaknow, Demon Killed My Wife. there's a degree of suspension of disbelief required somewhere in there ;)

[ratcreature]

Yeah, but DNA evidence isn't at all connected to the supernatural parts of the premise. I mean, I have no problem with comic book science, or fantasy assumptions and such, those are part of the genres, e.g. I'm not going to complain that they don't provide scientific explanations for how werewolves work or whatever. But otherwise we are supposed to believe their world is like ours, and mistakes that break illusion that are just as jarring for me as they are in other series.

[kris4n6.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that read that and went "WTH??? DNA typing wasn't even discussed until 1985!!!" I mean, if they're going to be writing something set in the past, it would be nice if they did a little checking, you know?

I could've sworn the T-Ball mention was wrong, too, til I did a little research - who knew it had been around since the 60s? We sure didn't have it in my town growing up - not til the early 90s.

The license for California was issued by the DMW??? What in hell is the W for? Department of Motor Wheeeeee!!!!hicles?

I thought of you today when I touched the ocean.

[hope]

I also love that it has SEX: F on it. it's all magical.

You are made of awesome. Can we sit and stare at you till season 2 comes on?

[hope]

You can if you like, but I'll mainly just be curling up in a ball and whimpering as I recover from spending 6 solid hours on this post holy CRAP.

hi.

[naewinter.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that is dedication. *feeds you*

[naewinter.livejournal.com]

PS: I had a go at translating some of the runes, I didn't get very far, mostly (maybe it's just my crap book) they were Protection and the odd Joy runes or combines of two or three runes. They can be combined to create sentence like thingies. I'll post a comment with what I could translate later.

[hope]

You rule :)

thank you!

[naewinter.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, I could only find one of my Rune books. I'm not sure how accurate it is, I'll look for the other ones soon.

lol at Sam's drives liscense.

*adds to memories*

[hope]

hee, i know. what were they thinking?

thanks :)

[jakisbishlygay.livejournal.com]

(LOVE your icon!!!!)

It was probably supposed to be something Dean made for Sam, if he would give Sam a 'Bikini Inspector' ID, he would do anything.

I wonder if they will use it in the show...

[green-wing.livejournal.com]

[jakisbishlygay.livejournal.com]

[liss07.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this - it's awesome! I haven't finished it yet as I noticed that first run on these two pages (links below) is Fehu - I believe it symbolises protection... I can always dig out my run book and print off the pics and take a look through and get back to you :D

I had no idea it was CANON that the boys spent their childhood in the same bed. And people ask why incest keeps occurring to the audience?

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

LOL. word. ;D

[hope]

inDEEEEED :D

[dotfic.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is an amazing resource. Thanks for transcribing and putting all of that together.

[hope]

i'm surprised no one had done anything like that before, to be honest!

my pleasure :)

[sargraf.livejournal.com]

This is awesome; thank you so much for all this hard work! *big hugs*

[hope]

*glomp* as long as people use it to do Good Things, all the hard work is totally worth it :D

[kayim.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for this!

[hope]

my pleasure!

[benitle.livejournal.com]

OMG! Thank you so much for the post. I've been doing research on pre-series John because I thought about writing a fic and wanted some more info before I actually start. So this post has like all the stuff collected. You are fabulous! Thank you so much!

*mems*

[hope]

whee! this is exactly what I want this post to be used for - inspiring and backgrounding fic!

go forth, young grasshopper!

:D

[papered.livejournal.com]

You transcribed all the entries? *remembers squinting at the journal on the official site a while back* You devoted devoted lady! :D Thanks so much for sharing!

*adds to memories*

[hope]

no problems! hope you find it useful :)

[kim-asterisk.livejournal.com]

okay so you're basically amazing. yeah.

[hope]

*bows* :D

[esorlehcar.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this... I hadn't seen most of it before. I'm seriously O.O that the bit about Wee!Dean climbing into bed with baby Sammy, which has appeared in just about every Wincest story under the sun, is canon.

[hope]

I know!! that's why i wanted to transcribe in the first place, because I knew not enough people had read the journal entries and JUST HAD TO.

*squishes them*

my pleasure :)

[immicolia.livejournal.com]

It just needs to be repeated over and over again how wonderful you are for doing this. and more than likely risking sanity in the process ^^

Oh, also. I've been squinting at #30 there. It appears that the same few paragraphs are just repeated over and over. The red circled one seems to be identical to the very first paragraph. (and just at a glance none of it appears to have any special relevance)

[hope]

risking sanity... oh yes. after more than 6 solid hours on it yesterday i was feeling more than a little unhinged.


and yeah, the newspaper articles are weird - obviously some are just fillers and repeated and/or made-up... it's difficult to tell if anything is relevant at all.

then again, it's there now, so it's canon. so people can make what they like of it :D

fic challenge, anyone?

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

Thank you for making this post, it is incredibly detailed and informative! I can see you put a LOT of time into compiling all the information and links and screencaps, and for that you deserve much love and praise! ♥

I'm glad you shared it all, and I appreciate it. The boys would be proud of your research abilities and are undoubtedly jealous! ;)

[hope]

It kinda snowballed. I started with "more people should read this!" *transcribe* and it all went downhill from there.

and sharing is what it's all for :D I hope you find it useful.

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

Oh I do find it useful! Very! This is like the food of gods for fanfic writers looking for canon. I know you have a lot already, but were you considering transcribing the canon past mentioned in the show, like the flashback in "Something Wicked" and offhand comments about ages and events? I'm jus' kinda curious. :)

[innie_darling]

You are indeed awesome. Thank you so much!

[hope]

all in a day's work! hope you find it useful :)

[missanne.livejournal.com]

Papa Bear's journal is schizo, revenge-love!!

Sweet post.

[hope]

just like papa-bear himself :D

my pleasure :)

[kali-sama.livejournal.com]

This is fantastic! Question-where's the pad of definitions from? I don't remember it from the show so did some fangirl put it together?

[hope]

The pad of definitions is from the website too! handy, no? it's like they knew fanficcers would be throwing holy water and salt at everything, so planned accordingly... hee.

the notepad of it is under the passenger seat/on the floor in the back seat, if you're there and looking :)

[skylee.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this, it's great! I hope CW keeps the official site when the show moves over too.

[hope]

Me too! i'm rather fond of the site, and am intrigued by what they've been doing with it. I can't see why they wouldn't just move it over... it's not like they'd get rid of a site for the show, after all :)

[darkhecatemoon.livejournal.com]

Wow, you are AWESOME for doing this! It's fantastic! Definitely adding to mems.

[hope]

my pleasure! enjoy :)

[verabell.livejournal.com]

Dude you *so* totally rock! What a fantastic resource!

[hope]

:D thanks!

[northofantastic.livejournal.com]

Holy Moses! You really are made of awesome. I am in awe. So much work went into this. Thank you so much. I'm adding this to my memories because I know I'll be back to check it out a million times. *kicks stupid hard to read WB site* :D

[hope]

hee! yeah, tis a bit more readable!! hope you find it useful :)

[iamstealthyone.livejournal.com]

Amazing resource you've compiled here. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

[hope]

my pleasure, hope you find it useful.

[starry-ice.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is fantastic! You are awesome! Adding this to memories :)

Also, for #30 in the journal, that circled text looks like a repeat of the first paragraph. And the paragraph under it is a repeat of the first paragraph of the second column, which looks like a repeat of the third? paragraph in the first column... Basically, it looks like several paragraphs pasted over and over again to create a newspaper article of decent size :)

[hope]

indeed it does. ah, lazy set designers!

thanks :)

[dahliablue.livejournal.com]

Wow! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing all your hard work.

[hope]

my pleasure - hope you find it useful :)

[lastasalways.livejournal.com]

I'd help out with the runes, but I only know what the individual ones mean.

Like the R looking one if you carry the stone its supposed to protect a travelor, and can mean travel.

or it's Thurissomething or nother, which means destruction and such.

a kind of F looking one means fertality, I can get the actual meanings of what the individual runes mean if you want, I'll just need to quickly refresh my memory. All I did was look into it because I was going to get me some rune stones, so that's the only part I know about them, other than the history and such.



Thank you for the canon though, I gave my self tension headaches trying to read them at the site.

[hope]

awesome, thanks for the input. naewinter helped me out with a bunch of them :)

and I'm glad this format is much easier for you to read :D
