Been wondering for a while whether or not I should resurrect my old Dreamwidth journal. I resisted before because there were still active LJ communities here for SPN, but those days seem to be over now. Btw, I'm not planning on leaving LJ, just thinking that I'd like to start using the other journal for more personal entries. We'll see.

I know some of you have Dreamwidth accounts, but I don't know how many.
Is the SPN fandom anymore alive over there compared to LJ?
I know a couple of years ago it didn't seem very active, but maybe it's changed.

Hi, folks.

I know I just posted a new SPN Name That Cap Challenge yesterday, but I'm now seriously rethinking eliminating Fridays for the time being. My schedule lately has made it nearly impossible to do the NTC posts for Friday and I'm unsure of when that will change.

Having a hard time figuring out which Misc. Cap sets to tackle & post next so....I thought I'd ask all of you!
Obviously, these will all be shared, but I'm curious what you want first. Plus, there's many more videos to cap after all of these are done!

Note: The VanCon 2018 caps are from my own video of the start of the panel. ;)

Hiya folks!

The other night I capped Jensen's appearance on Mike Rosenbaum's Inside Of You podcast, which is now visual thanks to COVID-19. If you've seen the video/listened to the podcast, you know it runs at roughly an hour and a half. But I thought, well...a good chunk of that is Mike on screen. No worries! Ha!

I made over 2,000 caps.

Eeep! Now, to explain. I always take a few extra caps, especially when someone is moving around (and Jensen does move around!) just in case a cap is a little blurry. I wanna cover all the bases, so to speak. Well, in looking at my caps, there's hardly any blurry ones! Which is great...usually. But when there's over 2,000 caps? Not so much. I will also admit, that early in the video I was capping quite a bit. After a while, I got to noticing this and held myself back a little - not that it helped at all!

So here's my problem: I REALLY don't wanna sort through over 2,000 caps to get it down to a reasonable number. That's the honest truth. It's just the tedious part of capping. Now - if you REALLY want me to get the number of caps down...I will. It might take me a while, but I will.

Here be an example cap all fixed up as well as I can make it!
Now keep in mind that the exposure and the coloring on Jensen fluctuates throughout the video. So not every cap will look like this one.

It's up to you, my friends!
Now, just in case you're nervous - I've made it where only I can see the results. Please be honest!

If you haven't heard already, I'm preparing for a return of the SPN Name That Cap Challenge, ahead of the show's return on Oct 8th. I looked up the last challenge and that one only included caps up to Season 13. Naturally, I can go much further now. I've already got Season 15 capped (and will continue to cap the new eps). But do you want all the seasons included? Let me know below! :)

I'm in the process of posting my SPN Season 15 Highlight Caps (another post of them will go up tomorrow), but I also have a few random older episodes capped from when I was filling some of your Just 'Cause cap requests months ago. They're just sitting around, waiting to be fixed & posted. But which to do first?

Please vote for 1 episode only. Thanks! :)

Breaking my weekend posting silence to ask for your input.

Keep in mind that I traced where I left off with comments and it was the beginning of June, so quite a ways back. And part of me really wants to get caught up.

Not sure what the fandom/Livejournal rules are on such things so...

Thinking about bringing back the old SPN Name That Cap Challenge next week.
Ideally, I would have brought it back like a month or so ago, to help get us through hiatus, but...*sigh* best laid plans & all that.

Btw, I've got your suggestions about the challenge written down from way back months ago when I ended the last one and I've got some good ideas about hints. So I thought I'd ask about that, too. The hint might be under a cut? Or added to the post a day or so later? Those were the suggestions. I think I like the under a cut idea better. That way if you need the help, it's there. If not, that's cool, too. ;)

Anyway, tell me what you think in the poll or in comments below. Thanks! ♥

Been thinking about doing a Friending Meme. Remember those?

LJ seems so quiet lately and I thought maybe a Friending Meme would help us make some new connections and friends and hopefully rebuild our Friends Lists a bit. The meme would be SPN-based, of course, for the most part.

So what do you think?

Trying to get my butt in gear and tackle a lot of the SPN episodes that I've never capped.
I used Google's Random Number Generator to pick these 3 episodes. You all vote and whichever episode gets the most votes will be the one I cap next (and hopefully post in a timely manner). ;)

I was fortunate to catch the SPN production out on location on Tuesday and got photos and videos of some scenes filmed outside.

Now I realize that pics and a few little videos are already out there on Twitter, and Jensen himself posted a video of himself and us fans. But I've also read comments from people on Twitter that fans should not post such photos and videos before an episode airs and that the crew would much rather like it if we all waited.

However, I've already heard from a few of you that say that this stuff isn't that spoilery and that I should post it. I sort of agree, except for the guest stars who were on set that day. Yeah, the news about them being back on the show has been all over online, but does that really mean it isn't spoilery anymore?

So this is my quandary. I mean one person's idea of something spoilery is sometimes different from another's. For example, I don't think episode titles are spoilery at all, but other fans disagree and avoid them.

I have thought of only posting some closely cropped photos of Jensen for now and then post everything from the day later, after the episode airs.

What do you all think?

Thank you! :D

Um, things have been a little quiet around here. Don't know if folks have given up on LJ, are busy with RL, or what? Bueller???

Anyway, as I mentioned last week, I still have some JibCon7 caps to post, but I've been wondering if people even want them. Granted, if even one person still wants the caps, I'll gladly post them, but it nobody does, I'll simply move on to other things.

The JibCon7 videos I still have left to post are: Misha & Jared Panel and Misha & Jensen Panel.

Along with losing a lot of the SPN fandom to other social media like Twitter and Tumblr, it seems to me that LJ communities are fast becoming a dying breed. Even I don't post to as many comms as I used to, basically because I could see I was the only person still posting.

I remember when comms were so active and a place where people talked about the show and the actors, now they're pretty much ghost towns.

So is there still a place for LJ comms or are they essentially dead?

Had a terrible time with my internet last night during the east coast live stream of the Season 11 premiere. Thankfully, by the time the hour was over it had all settled down & I caught the re-airing by WillTV. Anyway, it set me back because it then took time to get my DLs of ep and the whole evening was off.

Which is why I don't have a review of the episode yet. :(

But it got me to thinking...should I keep doing the big review posts like I've always done? Or is a shorter review more in order? Seems like others on my Flist go the short route (correct me if I'm wrong). But I thought I'd ask all of you for your input.

Either of these options works for me. However, the Quick & Short Review can be posted each Wednesday night (or should be) but the Usual Long Review will most likely not show up on my journal until Thursday evening.

Thank you all! :)

The caps for 1x12 "Faith" are all ready to be posted, but I need to know something.

What you need to know:

  • There's 2 sets of caps for this episode - Caps of the entire episode & caps of just the highlights.
  • There are 2 zipped folders of all the caps from the episode and 1 folder of the Highlight caps.
  • I will post clickable thumbnails of the Highlight caps.

So I'm asking...

I usually post images of whatever SPN Calendars I get at the start of each month. Luckily, I was able to get the 3 calendars from Creation this year. But my question is...are people still interested in seeing the pictures or not?

Want to thank everyone again for voting in my latest polls. I truly appreciate getting your input on what I do here, since it is, after all mostly for all of you. ;)

SPN SEASON 6 CAPS -- 76% would rather wait for the Hi-Res Logo-Free S6 caps.
[I was rather surprised by this, but okay. I'll keep looking and checking. Hopefully, eventually I'll be able to get some good downloads of the season.]

SPN SEASON 8 CAP SIZE -- 57% said 1920x1080 Bigger is better!
[This was a close one the whole way, but the bigger caps won out. Now for those of you who voted for the 1280x720 caps, don't despair. I can easily resize the big caps down to the size you want and upload those as well.]

raloria: (Default)
Yep, another poll. :P

Due to some diligent online digging, I might be able to get my hands on all the Season 8 episodes at an even bigger size!
We're talking 1920 x 1080 (1080p) instead of my usual 1280 x 720. *glees*

I already accidentally got 8x07 "A Little Slice Of Kevin" this way - so I thought I'd look for more.
Since I've only capped up to 8x06 so far, I've got no problem with doing those over again.

So...

[Poll #1898339]

Thank you again! :D
