#and Demetria getting in there with the support for genre

Drake Rodgers

"Working on The Winchesters for the past year has been such an incredible honor. The fandom is so immense and passionate for this universe. They've been so accepting and supportive toward the show, it's made the entire process a dream. It would be a shame not to continue exploring the vast world we've built and grown to love so much. There's so much opportunity for new storylines and perspectives on the Supernatural universe."

Meg Donnelly

"I've learned so much about myself working on this show. The Winchesters is a beautiful story of stopping at nothing to help the people you love. There is so much more of this story that needs to be told and it would be honor to keep playing such an iconic character like Mary Campbell."

JoJo Fleites

"This story is worth fighting for because everyone can relate to these characters in some way, shape, or form. They are universal and timeless and they speak to so many people. I love that people see themselves in Mary, John, Carlos, Lata, Millie, Ada and all of these other characters. We want to keep telling the story and I specifically want to keep inspiring those that may not feel represented, such as people of color, the outcasts, the LGBTQIA+ community, and so on. It means a lot."

Nida Khurshid

"Continuing the legacy of the hugely successful show, Supernatural, has not only been humbling and thrilling but also a way for me to represent my heritage proudly through the character I get to play. Fighting for what you believe in whether it be saving the world from monsters or standing up for your friends, I believe our show can inspire that sense of courage and direction to fight for what's right in a world that needs it."

Demetria McKinney

"This show has been such an incredible bridge, not only in connecting the Supernatural origin dots, but bridging the gap between day-to-day and fantasy. Stepping away from life for a moment to recharge is something I don't take for granted. The added bonus of doing that in a space that is familiar (in its Supernatural nature) and mysterious (in its own right) isn't something you get to do often. The array of characters made everyone feel they had a place in this space. And I loved living out these stories with this cast and crew! Thanks for all the support you all gave us! We hope we get to play again one day."

Bianca Kajlich

"The Winchesters has been one of those 'lightning in a bottle' experiences. From the cast's very first dinner all the way through to the final few scenes of our season, we bonded over our shared desire to tell this story in our own way. We became a family within a family within a family! And from our family to yours, we believe in this story, this universe, and all the fans that light the way for us."

Meet the Writer Tag Game

Tagged by @necros-writings! Love ya, dear! Rules: Answer the 10 questions, write 10 questions, then tag 10 people.

1. Your main character is designing their own Dream House. What does it look like?

They’re kinda minimalist (because of plot-induced things, otherwise, they’d go for extravagance), so it would probably be a two story, domed roof house. The roof would be made of glass, so that they could watch the sky for however long they wanted to. The hallways would have a slight protrusion about elbow height, each room would be marked with both a braille sign and a print one, two bathrooms, three bedrooms (two of which are workrooms), a spacious living room, but a cozy kitchen.And so many pillows on all the furniture. 

2. What is the weirdest thing that has ever inspired a WIP?

I am legitimately in love with the moon. So now, I’m writing something where my main character is in love with the moon.

3. Which character in your current WIP is the most fun to write, and why?

The main character, Cahya, is so much fun because she is the snarkiest piece of trash. Her and the traveling merchant, Jishna, are snarkfests together and it is always a treat to write them. 

4. Choose an 80s song for your main character(s) theme song!

Took me fucking half an hour and thirty songs I’d never heard before, but my man Stevie comin’ through where Phil, Freddy, David, Michael, and Billy unfortunately couldn’t. 

I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder

5. The characters in your current WIP are in high school. Who gets voted “Most Popular/Most Likely to End up In Jail/Friendliest” etc?

Cahya: Hardest to Piss Off Andena: Most Likely to Accidentally Break Their Bosses Spine Jishna: Most Likely to Talk Their Way Out of Every Speeding Ticket Demetria: Most Supportive Friend Ever Iris: Most Likely to Build a “Pride House” Out of Literal Rainbows Badru: Most Mysterious Person in Attendance

6. Tell us a place in the world that you desperately want to visit, and why.

Anywhere that is not 1). The United States, 2). Russia, and 3). Currently below 25 degrees Celcius

7. What is the absolute trashiest TV show that you’ve ever watched? 

Well, I did manage to get through two and a half seasons of Once Upon a Time...

8. Hollywood comes knocking, wanting to put your life story on the big screen. Who’s cast to play you? What about your nemesis/love interest? 

Diandra Forrest would be cast to play me Either Justin Timberlake or Robert Pattinson would be cast as my nemesis Probably Zendaya or Evanna Lynch as my best friend (I have some gorgeous friends, okay)

9. Favorite flower(s) and why?

Mm, cattails. They’re so fluffy and always remind me of when I was younger and freer without any worry. 

10. Is there a genre that you’d love to break into in the future?

Mystery. I’m so terrible at it, but I love mysteries and want to at least try.

New Questions! 1. What would your main character’s reaction be to being turned into a squid? 2. When coming up with a plan of action, which character is the strategist and which one just wants to go in swords blazin’? 3. How often do your main characters (from the same work) come into conflict with one another? 4. What’s your favorite technique for helping with writer’s block? 5. Five songs you listen to for getting pumped to write? 6. Have any WIPs taken a ridiculous turn you weren’t expecting? Care to share (if it’s not too much of a spoiler)? 7. Your main character’s reaction to finding out they are a fictional entity thought up by you? 8. How long have you been working on your oldest WIP? 9. Which main character prefers the heat? Which prefers the cold? 10. What is your ideal writing space?

All The New Genre TV Shows This Fall

Remember when summer TV was a dreaded wasteland of reruns you had no desire to watch, even with commercial reminders that "if you haven't seen it, it's new to you"? Fall's arrival signaled not just the start of the best season or another school year, but meant all your favorite shows would return and finally there'd be something to watch again.

The TV landscape has certainly changed since then, now that you can watch most anything on demand (or pirated in a cloud somewhere) and both streaming sites and cable channels produce some often great original shows all year long. Even so, I still look forward to fall TV with giddy anticipation — and with this being such an awesome age for genre TV and film, it's hard not to get excited at what new shows might play on post-Labor Day screens.

When it comes to this season's newbies, it's all about the paranormal and the Marvel juggernaut smashing it's way further into TV. You have an X-Men family thriller-drama starring True Blood's own Vampire Bill, along with two highly anticipated adaptations: Inhumans on ABC, and Runaways on Hulu.

On the paranormal end, you've got funny ghosts and serious ghosts, along with angels, demons, and more. There's also a new Star Trek series for the first time in a decade, and it stars the awesome Sonequa Martin-Green (formerly of The Walking Dead), but... it's only available on CBS All Access, which is like Netflix for CBS stuff.*

While I have to admit I'm not as excited about these new shows as I am for the return of Stranger Things, Mr. Robot or all out freaking war on The Walking Dead, I'll still check quite a few of them out. To help you decide, here are sneak peeks at most of this season's upcoming new genre shows (minus those that've already premiered), plus the return dates for all your old favorites...

Channel Zero: No End House | Premieres Sep 20 on SyFy

When she returns home, Margot realizes everything has changed. Starring Amy Forsyth, John Carroll Lynch, Aisha Dee, Jeff Ward.

Star Trek: Discovery | Premieres Sep 20 on CBS All Access

Star Trek, one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, returns 50 years after it first premiered with Star Trek: Discovery.

Starring Sonequa Martin, Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp.

Marvel's Inhumans | Premieres Sep 29 on ABC

The highly anticipated television series Marvel's Inhumans will bring the fan-favorite comic book series and a new kind of family drama to the small screen this fall on ABC.

Since that time, they have grown in prominence and become some of the most popular and iconic characters in the Marvel Universe. Marvel's Inhumans will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.

In a downward spiral, Kevin returns home to stay with his widowed twin sister (JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Once Upon a Time) and niece. On his first night there, an unlikely celestial being named Yvette (Kimberly Hébert Gregory, HBO's Vice Principals) appears to him and presents him with a mission – to save the world. Formerly titled The Gospel of Kevin.

Ghost Wars | Premieres Oct 5 on SyFy

Set in a remote Alaskan town that has been overrun by paranormal forces, the series focuses on local outcast Roman Mercer who must overcome the town’s prejudices and his own personal demons if he’s to harness his repressed psychic powers and save everyone from the mass haunting that’s threatening to destroy them all. Starring Vincent D’Onofrio, Kim Coates, Avan Jogia, Kristin Lehman, and Meatloaf.

Superstition | Premieres Oct 6 on SyFy

Superstition follows the Hastings, a family who's owned the only funeral home and graveyard in the town of La Rochelle for as long as anyone can recall.

*And now, a small rant coming in 3... 2... 1... WTF CBS? Why does every media company and their mom feel the need to start a subscription streaming service of their own? As I have yet to claw my way into the 1%, I'm not able or willing to shell out $6 a month for CBS content WITH COMMERCIALS STILL INCLUDED, and I'm sure as hell not going to pay $10 a month just to get it commercial free. Not even for my beloved Sasha. And I really wanted to support her new show. 

But there are too many other things you can get for $10: a Netflix subscription, a movie theater ticket (well, almost), 2 venti frappuccinos, 3 In-N-Out cheeseburgers, or anywhere from 1-10 ebooks. CBS is not movie-filled Netflix, nor is it HBO. And with my cable subscription I also get AMC, FX, and USA — all of which have better shows! So, dear media company executives: please put your pipes down, or at least kindly stop filling them with hallucinogenic substances. These aren't books we're talking about here, nobody needs nor wants all of these limited streaming services! /rant

So, how do you feel about subscription streaming services? 😂

More importantly, what shows are you looking forward to this fall, SFF genre or not?
