The [[Wayward Daughters]] Academy was a fan idea for a ''Supernatural'' spin-off that started in April 2015 and has grown into a much larger movement within fandom.
At the end of [[9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann]], [[Sheriff Jody Mills]] took [[Alex Jones]], a young woman who had been held captive by a nest of [[vampires]], home to live her. Later, in [[10.20 Angel Heart]], [[Claire Novak]] is reunited with her mother [[Amelia Novak]] only to then tragically lose her. Sam, Dean and [[Castiel]], also send her to Jody Mills while she heals. As she leaves she says "This is some sort of halfway house for wayward girls?", and the idea was born among the fandom to have [[Sheriff Donna Hanscum]] and Jody running a home for young women as a spin-off.[http://peter-pantomime.tumblr.com/post/117765097966/ok-but-seriously-can-we-talk-about-how Here's a post on Tumblr by peter-pantomine] which posits the questionn a thie post staring with the line "can we talk about how perfectly sending Claire to Jody sets things up for the best imaginable spin-off?
