Not now honey. I’m to busy thinking about this Jackles interview.

“I’ve got a special place in my heart for The Terror,” he says. “Because it’s still being discovered. It didn’t get a good outing the first time around. But there’s an incredibly loyal fan base, and it has gone on to achieve a kind of cult status. I’m not recognised on the street very often. Women of a certain age know me from The Crown. For men of a certain age it’s Morbius or Resident Evil. But with younger people it’s often The Terror.”

I can understand where Jared's coming from, and I'm extremely grateful for the sacrifices he made to give us SPN and Walker, but I'm also kind of selfish and want to see him in another full-time series. Here's hoping another Austin project comes along where he can work just as he did on Walker!

However, as long as Jared's happy with the work he's doing, I'm happy for him!

So... it's still in the talking phase. There's very little that we haven't heard before. I think the only new information is that Jared and Jensen are going to talk in a few weeks. And even though J2 may want to do a revival, there's more to it than just timing and availability. There's studio approval, financial backing, network pick-up, hiring/casting, etc.

(But also... no mention of Misha/Castiel? I guess there's no purpose for him. LOL!)

The Terror, it is safe to say, did not attract quite so much attention. “It’s amazing in that it’s out there and it’s constantly being discovered,” Jared says, “but it was poorly served when it first came out. I think the BBC were interested in it but they didn’t offer as much money up front as BT TV, who were trying to branch out from sports stuff, and of course they didn’t have anybody watching and they didn’t put anybody behind it.

“But yeah, it’s constantly being discovered and that fandom behind The Terror is exceptional. During the run of The Homecoming, loads of Terror people showed up at the Young Vic, and I mean these guys have got tattoos on their arms of the ships, and one of them has a tattoo on her leg of Hickey. Incredibly loyal. It was a really, really good piece, and deserved to get a better outing first time around but it’s achieved a kind of cult status now I think.”

Podcast Interview With Idling in the Impala: "Y/N and Let Y/N…"

Here we go! Sandra and Kasey, the lovely hosts of @idlingintheimpalapodcast — the podcast for all things SPN and fanfiction — invited me on the pod for an interview…

We chatted about Dean Winchester and Jensen Ackles’ early roles, the best and worst seasons of SPN, the joys and pains of writing Soldier Boy, and much, much more.

That’s right, there be some hot takes coming in this convo, and I had an absolute blast with these two! (And like I said in Sunday's announcement, I’m also putting my name and my voice out there for the first time! 😆)

So if any of that sounds interesting, feel free to dive in!

(**Important Note: Just to preface, we recorded this back in June, so it was before I posted certain stories or even started developing Lost on You. It was also when Tumblr activity/engagement was going through a spring/summer slowdown lol.

Links to all the fics and podfics we mentioned are at the end of this post.)
