How to create a happy fangirl:

[ash48]

Cannot deny that this made my day.:))






A message to me *bounces*:




A re-tweet:




An acknowledgement to Serge (lighting/cinematographer) and Jerry Wanek (Design):




And the answer to whether the imprisonment theme was a coincidence and deliberate:





How cool is that?! I love that he was prepared to answer questions and that he took the time to leave lovely feedback.

And yay for happy accidents - how strange that of ALL the clips from the 3 Stooges they happened to choose one with bars. Original post is here

Whoa, that is AWESOME! Congratulations, bb!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is super cool - congrats to you!

And it's so dang awesome that directors etc are so open and willing to discuss these things fans. We really are a lucky bunch!!! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome!! :D Congrats!!!

That is so freaking cool and I'd be beside myself but, then, it was first class analysis and deserved recognition.

how cool is that!

Heh, cool! Guy is always so receptive and accessible. And you DO write good bts meta, Ash!

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! It's so great for him to confirm it and that he read it. You wrote a great meta. It's cool for him to know that people are watching for more than just the plot or the guys. I hope this refills your feelings tank for the show too. Guy is great for being accessible to fans for this kind of stuff too. It makes geeking out about this stuff so much more fun. Now, I really want to hear his interview.

This is awesome!

ASH. THIS IS AMAZING. YOU ARE AMAZING. EVERYTHING IS AMAZING.

That's wonderful! You always put so much thought into every analysis you do and you see much more subtext than the rest of us notice on a conscious level. It's great to see these responses. I'm sure it made him as happy as it made you. It's always a great thing when someone notices the subtlety in someone's art, so I'm sure he was jazzed as hell to read your post. Just as I'm sure you were doing cartwheels at his responses.

Congrats, love. You deserve it!

Awesome!!!

OH WOW. How exciting!

Hey, was the Three Stooges cap from my review, or is that a coincidence? If it is, I absolutely love that I capped it because of something I noticed and then you saw something completely different in it!

[sam-dean-lover.livejournal.com]

awesome! :)

[justmep2.livejournal.com]

So awesome! I've read the original meta and hadn't had a chance to respond yet, some great analysis you have there.

I must say though, I was more than a little bothered by the fact someone tweeted Guy Bee a link to you LJ without your permission, so I'm glad to see you weren't angry about it and got such a lovely response from him.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hey! I got the cap from a screen cap site (which I really should have credited). And then I tweaked the coloring etc in Photoshop. I only noticed that moment when I was looking through the caps. I haven't read your review yet but I'll check it out because I'm keen to see what you picked up:) I still can't believe it was a happy accident that they chose a scene that had bars in it. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi. yeah, I suppose if the feedback had been negative I might have worried about it more than I did. Though I am of the opinion that as soon as something is in the public domain it's up for grabs. I did think about tweeting it to Guy, but then I felt weird doing that so I didn't. And actually, I did get a comment from the poster (after she did it to tell me she did it) and she asked a question that I was dying to ask myself. :). And hey! I saw you got some notice from Kim and Jim. I haven't had a chance to watch your vid yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Yay! :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It is great fuel! And Its kind of weird that this happened on an episode that essentially wasn't my thing. Still great visual stuff though. (I hope he scrolled down and saw your extra pics ). Do you know when that interview is? I'd love to hear if he says anything about his directing choices.

[justmep2.livejournal.com]

I generally agree, but I feel it's a little different when it comes to a personal journal. Anyway, no wonder the feedback was so great, you picked up on exactly what they were aiming for! It's such a cleverly executed theme, and you explained it perfectly.
Ah, thanks! :)

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Awesome! It was a cool piece of meta, and something that I definitely didn't pick up on. That is wonderful that he seems receptive to analysis -- I bet he was probably super excited that someone noticed this-- and Jerry's hard work!

Congrats!!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes, LJ is a weird in that way. I don't have another platform for posting this stuff (tumblr is ok but not good for text and pics). I posted a link to my Twitter so was aware it was likely to be seen by people outside LJ. I created that connection - the poster didn't take it directly from here. xx

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

That's so cool!!! I keep thinking when I read analysis like yours and a few other fans how frigging wonderful it would be if the relevant show folk got to read them - and now they have!

Guy is definitely a Good Egg!

[fufaraw]

Mutual appreciation is so much fun! You appreciate Bee's subtlety and comment on it, he's aware you 'got' his intent--everybody's happy! That's fabulous, both for him and you, and the fans who maybe hadn't noticed till you said something.

I love SPN fandom right now!

Looks like it was recorded last week

I haven't had a chance to listen yet.

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

How wonderful that he not only popped over and scrutinized your post, but actually wanted to know who had written it so he could comment to you personally. That's a lovely complimentary gesture. Kudos to him and of course to you too for the perfect thoughtful post.
