I have recently begun to venture into Supernatural this year, myself, though I've watched the show off and on since its inception, I never went there until recently.
Best part of getting there late is that there is a wealth of fic and art out there; it's been around 9 seasons, so it's quite massive. That said, the wankery, asshattery and crazy found in SPN rival that of any two fandoms online, so much of it is now deleted/locked/gone forever behind walls of flounces and such, which makes it disappointing, at times, to those of us trying to find the old 'classics', etc.
My first thing to do with any new fandom is to find the big newsletters and fic rec communities. Awards, fests/big bangs, story finder comms and personal reccers are next.
Right now I'm digging gen fic, weechester fic, pre-series fic. I've also been reading massive amounts of quality Sam/Dean fic, and Destiel. I've read het in this fandom and enjoyed it also.

Here's some places to start:
Y'all have fun now, and mind the gap (SPN crazy).
