Afterword 4
Since Becky posted Chuck’s last fic, SPN fandom has been busy doing what it used to do: producing fanworks.

gamble_it_away wrote a series of little het sketches in which Dean made love to a woman, but thought of his brother the whole time. edlund_lover moved on from TOS and wrote short adventure fics in which Sam’s grandfather came back from the dead, and they went hunting together. If descriptions of Sam’s grandfather bore striking resemblance to Samuel, who had appeared in CW’s early “fanfic” posts—which must mean edlund_lover had somehow accepted CW as canon—it barely made a blip on wank_report. The fact that many fans considered Sam to be OOC made a bigger splash.
bobby_sing_it directed his well-known fanart to Hell, presumably imagining Dean there, which is where published Carver Edlund canon falls off. nother_ben roleplayed OCs set in the universe, including female spider women who could turn their mates into spider men, and the “first” vampire. parks_the_car and glass_family invented the a family tree, which detailed the extended family of Sam and Dean. If they neglected to keep the name Burnsfield, only dean_lives was troubled by it in this post:
The Super Nats were not the only ones who were creating fan works. At 8:14 pm, Friday, September 24, 2010,sammy_dear posted a quick ficlet, in which Sam came back from Hell after CW’s last story, “Swan Song.” In her A/N, she wrote:

watsonian had not engaged with SPN fandom after the posting of “The Chuck Writes Story,” except for the trolling of Becky I have reported, once Becky began posting CW’s fics.

Since that post bydean_lives, SPN has been a flurry of activity. Everyone was writing stories, reviewing them, writing meta, making fan art, cos-playing, roleplaying: they wrote slash, they wrote het, they wrote gen, they wrote about real people and people they never thought could be real, they wrote about the wank and they wrote about friendship; they wrote about brotherhood. And through it all, they believed they were writing about the same thing.
And at night I’m pretty sure they light candles and wear robes of the initiates and bathe in scented water, or something, while reading aloud passages of SPN and fanfic under prominently displayed fanart. In fact, I’ve heard that The CW Story has been printed out and read at “SPN thumper” meetings. I suppose Schadenfreade is allowed to be part of the other SPN, seeing as how it’s German. By golly gee whiz, I might even get to be canon one day!

something’s up
has anyone besides me been getting a weird feeling about fandom lately. maybe it’s just that there’s so much less wank all the sudden. maybe we’ve realized we’re all in this together? but some people still think spn is real and i think that’s wrong. but sometimes i feel strange. like i need to say something but i don’t know what. like i'm a part of something.
something bigger.
something bigger than me.
than all of us.
The Super Nats were not the only ones who were creating fan works. At 8:14 pm, Friday, September 24, 2010,
sammy_dear posted a quick ficlet, in which Sam came back from Hell after CW’s last story, “Swan Song.” In her A/N, she wrote:It feels wrong to post this if SPN is really real, which I sort of think it is now. But I can’t help it. I don’t want Sam to be dead. I couldn’t stop thinking about this.
snfangirl also posted a fic called War In Heaven at 8:00 pm, Friday, March 4, about Castiel waging war again Raphael in heaven. In her A/N, she said:I guess if you believe in SPN you have to believe in Heaven. But I assume whatever is going on up there is beyond my comprehension. Other people believe in Heaven too, and they write about what’s up there. That’s not wrong. It’s just what people do.

Can’t stop writing
I have an idea for what could happen . . . if Sam came back . . . it doesn’t seem right to post . . . I’ve met Sam . . . and he wouldn’t act like this . . . I know it’s OOC . . . it’s not like Sam . . . but I can’t stop writing it . . . I won’t post it if you all think it’s wrong . . . I can’t post about a dead person like that . . . and Sam is dead . . . he’s really in Hell . . . I mean I know I posted about dead people before . . . but that was Chuck’s writing and he was a prophet . . . and I’m just me . . .

Do you think Dean would do that?

For the record, I will not take back anything I said about reality and fiction in this post. We must respect what’s real. We must not trivialize it. We must not reduce it. However, there is reality.
And there is also faith.
I believe in CW.
