The CW Source is an official blog produced by the CW network, ostensibly as a marketing tool.
Its tone is very casual and friendly, and it is authored by CW employees (presumably employed for this purpose, as opposed to members of production teams or otherwise keeping a blog).
The blog covers a range of CW produced shows as well as Supernatural, such as Smallville and Veronica Mars.
The CW Source can be found here, or click here to view only Supernatural-related posts.
The CW Source linking to Fan-created Material
In late 2006, The CW Source began linking to fan-created material in their posts about Supernatural, and encouraging fans to submit their favourite fanart and fanfiction.
- December 15, 2006 posted by 'Jackie' - linked to anteka's Plastic!Winchester Theatre, saying:
- Plastic!Winchester Theater. This was the suggestion we got most often by far, and we know why. We loooooove Plastic!Winchester Theater, and look forward to new episodes almost as much as we do the real thing.
- For the uninitiated (and oh, how we envy those of you who will be discovering this for the first time…) Plastic!Winchester Theater is the brainchild of the brilliantly twisted Anteka, who uses some scavenged Ken dolls, various doll-size props, and fiendish toys to create Supernatural episodes. See Plastic!Sam and Plastic!Dean battle witches, mutant crocodiles, ghosts, evil Care Bears and other things too horrifying to mention. Plus, these brothers actually hug – unlike some Winchester boys we could mention…
- Check out Plastic!Winchester Theater for yourself. Make sure to clear some time in your schedule – you’ll want to consume all 24 (!!!) episodes in one sitting.
- Oh, and as a special bonus, Anteka also created a pictorial guide to Supernatural for the Newbie – use that to reel in any of your friends who aren’t yet watching the show.
- December 1, 2006 posted by 'Jackie' - linked to deirdre_c's List of rules Dean has for Sam while on the road, and invited readers to submit:
- Now here’s where you can help. We want you to share some of your favorite examples of Supernatural-themed fan art. E-mail us the stand-out examples you’ve got bookmarked to cwsource@gmail.com. We’ll take a look and share the best bits with the group. Oh, and since it is for a general audience, please don’t bother sending us the sort of stuff that would have the folks in HR sending us out for sexual-harassment retraining. Please? Those off-site seminars are brutal!

- [Reasons to be thankful] #5. Supernatural fans. One of the perks of the job for us is that we and legitimately spend at least some of our working hours checking out Supernatural-related websites, and boy, are Supernatural fans a creative bunch! From videos on YouTube to Motivational Posters on Television Without Pity, the fan-created material knocks our socks off. With that in mind, we're planning on pointing you to some of the best fan art when there's no episode to sate our Supernatural hunger.
