Supernatural | Newbie Guide + Helpful little things.
So the other day I was making a list of some 'classic' general fics for someone newer to the community and I know there's a few other 'newbie' guides out there, but hopefully this will only further help everyone :)
Under The Cut :
- Some 'classic' recs for general, wincest, and j2.
- Some must see videos for the fandom.
- Where to find... (icons, headers, other graphics.)
- Helpful links/communities.
I ask you to note that while this is to help people newer to the fandom become familiar with some of the areas there are that it can also help older fans expand their horizon and find some new favorites, perhaps.
Revamp coming soon - 2010

- speakfree at twofortheroad : Always with a fresh variety of original and witty icons. Also has supplied beautiful wallpapers in the past, I believe.

Other amazing graphic artists to check out : crystalchain at chaosgraphics, clubinthesky at jibicons, evenindeath at rip_graphics, and _cuethepulse
