SuperSleepy or SleepyNatural are the mashup names for crossovers between the fandoms and fanworks of Supernatural and Sleepy Hollow.
Who knows how it started? The shows are natural companions, given that both deal with extremely attractive but functionalist people battling the forces of supernatural evil and trying to stop the Apocalypse. But it's mainly because of Orlando Jones.
Orlando Jones, comedian and co-star in Sleepy Hollow, had been joyously playing with the fandom for his show - reading fanfic, posting memes and gifs with abandon. Somehow a tweet of Misha's about Cockles came to his attention, and he was drawn slowly, inexorably towards the Supernatural Fandom. Who can blame him? We are irresistible!
Ideas of a crossover - Supersleepy or Sleepynatural - were flung around and Supernatural writer Robbie Thompson even penned a teaser for "AlmostSleepyNatural" which drew in Almost Human - and featured robots (Source).
The idea of "SuperSleepy" took hold and the mythic series continues to be tweeted about by Robbie and Orlando.
On April 1st 2014 (note the date) several media outlets tweeted that SuperSleepy had the green light and would be a 13 episode series on Hulu source.
