Raoul
Raoul, Demian’s imaginary recapping partner, was conceived from the image of a dragon on all the Supernatural pages at TWoP. Raoul was formerly known as the “Big Gay Dragon” or the “Big Gay Supernatural Dragon”, an idea sparked by this comment made by Demian: "That is the gayest dragon I've ever seen in my life." In the recaps, Raoul is presented as having an affinity for gore (or, as Raoul would prefer, “GORE!”). Raoul frequently mentions his imaginary husband, 24’s Jack Bauer, whose show is...

Forum Rules
Before venturing into the forums, it’s important to read the rules. Breaking any one of the rules can cause your post to be edited by a moderator and/or receive a warning. At worst, you could be banned.
Supernatural-Specific Forum Rules
Acronyms are a big no-no – notably for episode titles. Shortening is fine: for example, Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Thingscan be shortened to "Dead Things" but one cannot use “CSPWDT”. Occasionally particular sub-forums are locked either for a short length of time, or permanently if the moderator deems fannish discussion has become too heated or consistently off topic. "the Brotherly Bonds" thread which was meant to focus on Sam and dean's relationship was closed in February 2009 due to...
