This past weekend, Supernatural fans rolled into the top ten trending topics on Twitter with their live coverage of the Asylum con in the UK. Using the tag #asylm (no U because the proper spelling caused too many unrelated items to fall into the search r
esults) a hand-full of tweeters kept the fandom informed of who said what, to whom and where. Fans all over the world logged in all through the night in order to get the latest updates and it created a party atmosphere that is sure to become a convention must from now on in.
Missed all the fun? You can still check out the #aslym tag, but I’d recommend checking out Supernatural Wiki for more comprehenisve reports.
For a real treat, check out Misha Collins on Twitter and be prepared to be both amused, scared and confused. This really is Misha and that fact has been verified by a number of good sources including the CW publicity head and Misha himself at the con.
Here’s a typical Misha post as he headed out to the con:
“on way to Birmingham. I’m worried because I didn’t get all the shots I need to travel to an undeveloped country. hope I don’t get cholera.”
Just for the record, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki were asked about Twitter and they both said that they DO NOT have accounts. So anyone you see claiming to be Jensen or Jared is a fake.
Here’s Misha hiding out in his bunker after the recent LA earthquake:
“Minions, the pony gave out. I consumed the haunches while still warm. very little power left on my laptop. Very little oxygen. I’m so weak.”
Yes, he’s more than a little crazy, and that’s why we adore him so.

Misha Collins (Castiel on Supernatural) is up for Tweeterwall’s Celebrity Twitterer! You can vote every 20-30 minutes! http://tinyurl.com/mmkd7e
If you are on Twitter and are not following @MishaCollins, you are REALLY missing out! He is great about posting little tidbits and photos!
Just in case you are concerned that it is possibly not really Misha Collins, rest assured it has been confirmed both by people associated with the show and by Misha himself at a recent convention.
FYI: Jared and Jensen are *NOT* on Twitter! Anyone claiming to be Jared or Jensen are fakes! Jim Beaver *IS* also on Twitter under the user-ID @JumbleJim.
For the record, J2 told us at Asylum that they also don’t have Facebook, LJ or anything like that. Jared said that if he did, it wouldn’t be under a recognisable name, anyway.
Misha tweets make my day.
There. I’ve said it.
Twitter adds an interesting twist to fandom. I think I like it.
I was one of those crazy ppl hanging on every word of Twitter magic. It “real time” updates made it like being there… Almost.
Gosh, didn’t Misha steal the show? He officially owns me now.
