A lot of people on my flist are getting nostalgic about their beginnings in the Supernatural fandom due to SPN's birthday so let me present mine.

I believe Supernatural first aired in Australia when I was away on holiday but I made sure to remind my dad to record it simply because it had the word 'Supernatural' in the name. I was that easy. I hadn't even heard of Jared Padalecki before and while I had watched Dark Angel and remembered & enjoyed the character of Alec, it still took me to the end of Season One for me to twig on to the fact that it was the same character.

I was pretty much hooked straight away both due to the supernatural element and those psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent brothers. And eight years later while I have kinda soured on the myth-arc, those brothers are still going strong!

But Supernatural also has a place in my heart as the show that actually got me vidding again. I was all ready aware of fanvids (and fanfiction) thanks to the Farscape (♥♥♥) fandom and I had even made a few. Although I didn't post them online at the time (mostly because it was too hard, Youtube didn't even exist!) But for some reason, at the end of season one, something just made me go 'No! I must vid this show' and so I did. And all these years later I am still making vids. God, fandom makes you feel old.

So in honour of SPN being eight years old, I present my first ever Supernatural vid:

You might note (as I hilariously did) that the song is called 'Maybe tomorrow is a better day'. Well, it's been eight years and that better day still hasn't come :(

I would also like to point out that since that vid I have mastered (I hope) the art of proper aspect ratio, non-literal clip to lyric translation and better scene transitions in vidding.

Now since this post and the newly released Season 9 trailer has brought forth all my SPN feels, let me also present in honour of samdean_otp's Eight Days of Wincest Challenge (that I won't be participating in because lol at me posting regularly) my only (so far... this may change) Wincest vid:

Think of all the footage I could use now if I remade it (spoiler: I won't be)
