awesmosis n. - the unconscious process with which Supernatural fans absorb and assimilate communal ideas, often resulting in a simultaneous outburst of fanfiction concerning the same plot, kink or crack.

2. AHAHAHAHAH ( spoiler in the form of Pad of Definitions for 2.15 )
3. Would anyone of you US folks be able to send Mary and I a copy or two of this Weekly World News with Sam & Dean in it? We have scoured Melbourne and can't seem to find any here. Email me - angstslashhope at livejournal dot com.

And 'ratings' can come in a number of forms. It's the registering of numbers through official channels. So, you can still indicate to the CW that you're watching the show, making them money, without having a Nielson black box on your TV. Here're a few ways how:
- Buy Supernatural DVDs and give them to your friends. Or have a few copies to lend out to people. Where the DVD is on the bestseller list is a very big deal. Firefly DVD sales were a big part of why Universal picked up Serenity.
ETA: Aussies, S1 currently on sale for under $30 at JBHiFi. - Amazon now have Season 2 for download, at $1.99 per episode. See above comment about sales being a big deal. All those folk who download an ep after seeing it on TV? Make a HUGE difference by forking out $2 for it. Think of those sales numbers! Also, it's a great way to get new people into watching it - buy an episode for someone who hasn't seen it! I'm sure there's a particular S2 ep you can think of that can be used for conversion.
ETA: Some folk have reservations about the Amazon 'Unbox' software. You can also download episodes from iTunes for the same price, but again, need to be a US customer. - TiVo Supernatural, even if you're watching it while it's airing. "Timeshifted" ratings are counted. TiVo the reruns, too.
- Watch streaming episodes at the CW site.
- If you're in Australia, register to download episodes at Channel 10.
I reckon we need to focus on reflecting our own numbers accurately (or even exagerratedly! :D) as well as getting more people to tune in.
A lot of these options are only available to US folks, but generally, that's what's counted anyway.
Got anything to add to the list? Please drop me a comment! Especially if you're outside the US.
And feel free to pimp this post. I reckon if we can get people to do the Amazon.com download - $2 a week, dudes - that would make a considerable impact.
