It’s been a while, since this petition came into being, 13 August, 2007 to be exact. Don’t you fret, ozchicksunite have been working tirelessly to get the word out – Australia is ripe for an All Hell Breaks Loose Supernatural Convention.

What the hell have we been doing since our last entry?

WE ADDED TO OUR CORE GROUP. Meet Jodie (Jensen_Jo) an early supporter who took our breath away with her high-octane level of support and ideas. We couldn’t pass up her enthusiasm, she keeps us primed and ready for action. Welcome Jodes.

A MAJOR HURDLE WAS OVERCOME when our site was moved from jraunlimited.com without notice. Signatures were lost during a period of a week…a long time to be out of action, every name counts. The whole issue was out of our hands when new owners took over jraunlimited and made some changes. We totally appreciate the support jraunlimited had given us by housing this site on their server. We are now independent and are running things ourselves with the awesome back up of our site designer MontyCora.

We worked in a frenzy to get the word out to all our contacts and to get our banner and links updated in all sites and forums loyal to us. Thank you for following us here to our new home…it looks cozy doesn’t it?

NETWORKING NETWORKING & MORE NETWORKING. This has been via all possible on-line avenues. You found us, and we have made great friends all over the place, no corner of the wide weird web has been overlooked.

WE HAVE SENT A LETTER TO THE SUPERNATURAL PRODUCTION TEAM introducing ourselves and asking the big basic question;

“We…wanted to inquire as to whether or not you would consider attending, if the stars of the show, the writers, creators, etc would come over to the convention?”

Our main aim here, was to make the idea known to the people we seek to attend our convention. We are waiting for a response.

Our details and an interview with Clare, was included in the Sci Fi Reporter, Australia’s Sci Fi
e-Newsletter. A big thanks to Stuart, for further giving us a helping hand, literally, by handing out our pamphlets at his Fanzone Event, in Adelaide. For more details about the Reporter and Fanzone, click our links:

JENSEN ACKLES FLEW IN…Back in February our site and profile was given a major boost with Jensen Ackles ‘Dean Winchester’ jetting to our shores for a round of press interviews. See, he does know how to get to Australia. We are sure he can give Jared, Eric and the cast and crew of Supernatural excellent directions to Aussieland…no need to pull the Impala over to ask for directions.

During Jensen’s visit, our aim was to take the petition numbers to 1000. We did it - you did it! You got us to this major milestone. Thank You. While Jensen was thrilling us with his presence, we joined in the fun over at Channel 10’s Supernatural Forum, all the while spreading the word. Forum moderators, Fraggle and Benjoman were awesome and tried to include an Aussie Convention question in the Q & A with Jensen. So many forum members asked a similar question. The question didn’t make it to the on-line interviews, however, we are sure that Channel 10 knows who we are now and we thank them for their support.

TV WEEK PUBLISHED OUR SITE in the Top Site section in the February 16-22 Issue. The awesome Aurora nominated us for this honor and we are completely thankful to her for spreading the word, so effectively. Look out for another mention of Super Ozcon in the ‘Star Letters’ section of TV Week. Phoebe has advised us that the magazine will be publishing her letter very soon. We asked you all to spread the word, and it is hugely gratifying to see the lengths you all will go to, to help us in our quest.

CONTACT WITH WARNERS HOME ENTERTAIMENT is our next course of action. We want the owners of Supernatural to be fully aware of who we are and what we are trying to achieve.

We are currently preparing a letter to Warner Home Entertainment. To make contact and to gauge a level of interest, from the owners of Supernatural and hopefully find out that yes, they are already planning to send their show to Australia or yes they are interested in a personal style promotion of the show via a convention. This is the next stage, to have something concrete to work towards.

YOUR SUPPORT - WOW! We really have to say; the level of support from you all out there, just astounds us. We are so grateful that you see we are serious. On a ‘wow that happened’ kind of note, ozconchicks have reported being recognized around their traps when we start a conversation about Supernatural or even when waiting in a drive thru – one girl saw Maritza’s SuperOzcon bumper sticker and she could clearly see the flailing and hear the squeals of delight from the girl in the car behind her. It just warms our hearts.

BUMPER STICKERS if you would like to get your own bumper sticker…feel free to take the artwork, Sarah has prepared, and make your own. Limited numbers were ordered and offered over at the Channel 10 forum, unfortunately, we have no income to be able to send one to everyone.

SO THANK YOU ALL and keep an eye out at all our on-line locations and here for more news in the weeks to come. We will keep you posted.

…and we will resort to some SUPERNATURAL business if we have to!

‘Dean! Pass the Rock Salt!’

So, you’ve signed our petition, or are about to. Thank you, we need you, the fans of The CW Networks ‘Supernatural’ to reach our goal of having the stars and the brains trust behind our favourite show, appear in Australia for a close encounter of the Convention type.

Who are we? Well, you’ve probably read that we are a group of women who formed a friendship over our shared love and admiration of Jensen Ackles.

Where did we begin? At the only place to be - the best ever Jensen Ackles fan site and forum at www.jraunlimited.com. A massive thanks to jraunlimited for allowing us to piggy back their site with this one. They ROCK – big time! And who created this site? Man! Have you met MontyCora? Her technical wizardry just blows us away. Thanks babe, you make us look awesome.

You guys really need to jump in the Impala and blast out those between season cobwebs and drive the super highway to jraunlimited.com. Especially if you are interested in joining with a group of fans who all have nothing but respect for the man, Jensen Ackles. Supernatural Season 3 is about to begin so join in and have a blast discussing episodes and share with friends everything you will ever need to know about Jensen’s career. You want pics? Oh yeah! We got tonnes of those babies to get fixated on. Drool bucket? Anyone? We’re all more than willing to share.

But, we’re guessing what you’re really here for is for news of all things Australian Supernatural Convention-y. You want to know what’s been going down. Right?

So, what have we been up to? Well, spreading the word is the first stage of a multi-staged Supernatural assault.

You found us so that is working. We have created a myspace – Thanks Clare (Vix). Told our friends to tell their friends. We have also hunted through bebo, youtube, various Australian fanforums and fan groups such as Supernatural Underground, Winchester Watching Alliance, Team Winchester, all of whom have come on board to promote this site. Thanks to everyone for their awesome support.

We have US supporters who are attending the Chicago Con in October. They will be handing out our very own AHBL pamphlet promoting our desire and this site. Even t-shirts are going to be worn. The Supernatural people will be respectfully handed the pamphlet to foster an interest in an OzCon. Thanks to Sarah for the design and Lea’s expert assistance with the wording. Huge buckets of thanks for our adopted Aussie, Megaera in the US who has nothing but a massive desire to make us very happy. Have fun at the Con babe, don’t forget to give the boys a hug for us - watch where you put your hands!

We’re currently in the process of preparing an introductory email/letter letting them all know who we are and what we are all about.

Next we will be preparing a PRESS RELEASE to the Australian tabloids, advertising this site and our cause. You guys can help with this too. Know someone of influence in the journalism game – let them know about us.


So, as you can see, we mean business. Spreading the word is the first stage of getting our hearts desire – an ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE Supernatural Convention in Australia.

Please remember to get the word out. Post our banner everywhere. Take the time to comment back to us and include something about Australia that would entice the Supernatural Crew to lock themselves in for a trip to Aussieland. Remember, Kripke and Co will be reading this site one day - in the near future.


Thank you for your support – seriously!
