Massive News & Links Roundup

There's been so much stuff appearing in various comms and happening in reguards to the coming writer's strike, that I've decided to put it all into one post. Why? Because I've got my college studies to do, I'm way out of time, but I also don't want anyone to miss anything. Plus, I'm lazy. So practically everything is here.

Meanwhile, the following items will be handled in separate posts:
- The latest SPN filming locations from the HNR.
- Some b&w fanart pieces of Sam from S3 as requested by rogue_outkast

A little mini-rant: My internet connection sucks on the weekends! Bah!

On to the goodies! Enjoy! :D

Five New High Quality S2 Promo Pics -- thanks to moonilicious

The wonderful moderator of Pretty As A Picture (PAAP), Dana, gave me the heads up about her latest additions. She's posted new promos of Jared's film "Thomas Kinkade's Home for Christmas". This also fixes the bad links I had in my earlier Jared post. [Which will be fixed on that post shortly] She also let me know there are new additions of SPN S1 and S2 promos. Nothing really new, but at better quality than previous seen for several of them. So check out what's new over at PAAP!

Phew! I think that's the highlights anyway. Hope that helps. :D
Okay, I'm off to do some studying before I take care of those other posts.

Extra First Impressions Fanart - Sam & one of Dean

If you've been enjoying the cropped b&w caps of Dean in my First Impressions posts, you know that the older brother has dominated them. I am a Dean!Girl! after all. ;) But I received a request on the First Impressions post for Bedtime Stories from rogue_outkast. She appreciated the cap of Dean, but wanted some of Sam as well.

So I went through my caps of S3 and made a series of images of Sam. For some of the episodes there is more than one image. There's also an extra image of Dean I found that I don't believe I've posted before.

So from now on, I'll include an image of Dean and one of Sam as well in my First Impressions posts...just to keep everything even. I know I've got some Sammy!Girls! on my flist and I don't want you gals feeling left out. :)

Just a reminder...I consider these to be fanart. Please give me credit if you take any. Thanks. :)
