As for the story, I had to laugh at your poor mom thinking something was wrong and I'm glad you loved every word, although if it had been my personal preference, it would have been a little more graphic than it was but I didn't want to gross anyone out. Silly me. Aww heck--I SAY GO FOR IT. More graphic sounds completely fine to me. hehe :-) Gross stories are incredibly fun to read.
Author's Response: You know Vanessa, I would have loved to get a little more down and dirty but believe it or not, I got a couple PMs over at ff.net that it was too gross the way it was written. Go figure, I guess you just can't please everyone. Maybe I need to have a PG rated verson and an R rated version (the R rated on being the most fun!!) I'm right there with you though, the grosser the better!! (I will keep that in mind for later though, believe me)

I'm so happy to see you post a new chapter! Thanks so much. Poor Dean. What's that doc going to do to help him?
Author's Response: Thank you so much right back and thank you for throwing me just a little push, I really needed that and you gave it at just the right moment. ... and yeah, poor Dean. I just wanna wrap him up in a blanket and take him home with me... and maybe Sam too. (Yikes, where'd that come from?)

Great update - thanks - stay happy!! K.
Author's Response: Thanks right back and I'm going to do my best to stay in that happy place, but then again... where's the fun in happy?

Good to see you back, Helen. It was an awesome chapter, well worth the wait. Don't you worry, ok? We love your stories and sometimes real life just gets in the way and your muse takes a break. But everytime you doubt yourself the new chapters you post are strong and very well written. You're just a natural :)
Author's Response: You are so kind to say that and believe me when I say that it makes me feel a whole lot better to know others feel that way. Real life can really be a real pain, can't it, but somehow there's always a brighter side somewhere around the corner. Thanks for the boost, it really does mean more than you know!!

Wonderful you're back and as good as ever, no chance you're gonna lose 'it'!!! A very scary chapter, all this blood makes me worry, a very alarming sign things go downhill rapidly, it's a desperate race against time for the guys! Hope Sam can deal with Dr. Alice, Dean so can't leave the room yet. Loved the chapter, you really made my day Helen!
Author's Response: Thanks so much Sabine!! I promise I'm going to get that Bad Penny update done eventually... just working the bugs out in my head. It feels really good to be up and running again, so to speak and I'm even happier to hear that my first writing attempt in weeks wasn't a load of crap. as for the story, you should know me by now, downhill at the speed of light, that's what I say and desperation is what I live for!! I'm glad you loved it and believe it or not, we haven't reached the bottom of that hill just yet.

Urgh! Prune juice, it does taste as bad as it sounds! great chapter. Glad your back and that things are looking up for you.
Author's Response: I can honestly say that I have never had the pleasure of tasting prune juice and don't think I ever will! Yuck!!! Thanks so much for reading and being ever so patient and let me say that I'm glad everyone didn't think this was a load of garbage!!
Reviewer: eeyore (Signed) · Date: 29/07/08 10:46 PM · On: Chapter 12
Great chapter. Poor Dean, he was so embarrassed.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the comment and let me just say that I am honored you picked this crazy tale to drop your first review on! Thank you so much for not only taking the time to R&R, it means a lot!!
Reviewer: Live1970 (Signed) · Date: 29/07/08 09:53 PM · On: Chapter 12
OMG, I absolutely loved that! Not only do you have Dean coughing up blood, now he's shooting it out from the other end as well. The banter was perfectly done, not too little and not too much and Sam so proud of himself for his victories was cute (not as cute as the striptease would have been, but cute... Damn that Dean and drawing his lines). Glad you're back and hope you're back to stay.
Author's Response: Yeah, that Sammy sure is a cute one, isn't he? After watching the end of season 3. I'm kinda starting to wonder whose actually cuter... I don't know, there was something pretty sexy about that NRFTW Sam, wasn't there? Maybe I need to throw some pain his way once in a while. (Oh, and the striptease... it plays in my mind all the time!) I love that you loved it!!
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 29/07/08 09:25 PM · On: Chapter 12
Great to see you back Strigo. What a terrific chapter. Dean is bleeding internally, so not good.It's only morning, the day'll be long before the salt and burn job. Hope that Dean'll hang on until night. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks so much Oceane! I missed everyone the last couple weeks. Glad you liked my first attempt at writing in weeks and once again...yep, poor Dean. That guy just seems to get the short end of the stick almost every time. Oh well. Hope to have more up soon and thanks again for the R&R!
Reviewer: CatzEye (Signed) · Date: 29/07/08 09:07 PM · On: Chapter 12
Heh -- I liked the prune juice - just what Dean needs in this situation! - And Bobby is way cool! I like this story!
Author's Response: Thanks CatzEye! I'm thrilled you like the story, and Bobby as well. Can you picture it... poor Dean and a big, huge glass of prune juice? I don't know about you, but it gives me the giggles!!
Reviewer: Vanessa (Signed) · Date: 29/07/08 08:51 PM · On: Chapter 12
HELEN! I'm so happy to see you again! I've been thinking about you a lot, but hesitated to email because I didn't want to bother you. Almost in a happy place, huh? I'm glad to hear you're doing better. I was so excited to see this update (I think I squealed into the phone while talking to my mother--she wanted to know what was wrong. hehe) and loved every graphic word. hehe Poor Dean. I'm dyin' to know just what story Sammy's gonna weave for Dr. Alice.
Author's Response: Thanks Vanessa. It's nice to know that people care and don't ever think you can't e-mail me... ever. I would never consider it a bother. Let me just also say that, yes, a happy place for now but that's subject to change anytime too, but I hope not. As for the story, I had to laugh at your poor mom thinking something was wrong and I'm glad you loved every word, although if it had been my personal preference, it would have been a little more graphic than it was but I didn't want to gross anyone out. Silly me. Anyway, thanks so much for the wonderful words and I hope to be around a little more often!

"when did the shit start hitting the fan in horse sized clumps" LMAO! I laughed so hard i couldn't breathe! I have a question? Would the baby be part of Jeannie? If they burn her bones would they have to find the child (and burn it if it's dead) or is it now a separate entity? What's the answer in your world?
Author's Response: Glad I could throw a good laugh in there throughout all the negativity. I guess it's necessary every once in a while. In my world, the answer to the baby question is... hmm... would that count as a spoiler? Let's just say that nothing is ever that simple in the Winchester world, right.(I mean just burning her bones, that is)
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 05/07/08 06:02 PM · On: Chapter 11
Fantastic update. Loved Bobby's line about Brian been a twit hee hee.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it and thanks for letting me know! I guess the feelings amongst all three hunters is unanimous when it comes to Brian.
Reviewer: mymuseandi (Signed) · Date: 05/07/08 09:33 AM · On: Chapter 11
Dean's awake finally...i was quite afraid he might be having nightmares and couldn't wake up and that he'll just die in his sleep while Bobby and Sam were talking...
Author's Response: No dying... not on my watch. I don't do deathfics, remember. (Ok, except the couple one shots I wrote, but those don't count.)
Reviewer: bia1007 (Signed) · Date: 04/07/08 04:33 PM · On: Chapter 11
Brilliant and thrilling update! Sam takes this all very hard and how terrible he must have felt when Bobby told him one more mistake will for sure cost Dean's life (well, glad Sam does care this much, you know why!). Very relieved Sam still is bothered about the baby-detail, this could be of prime importance for saving Dean, can't wait to find out!
Author's Response: Hmm... you may be right about Sam's concerns there. Guess I'm becoming entirely too predictable. It's probably a good thing Sam takes Bobby's reminder of his lapse hard because it's probably the only thing that's going to keep Dean alive. Anyway, thanks as always for all the great comments!
Reviewer: Oceane (Signed) · Date: 03/07/08 03:48 PM · On: Chapter 11
Gripping chapter. Bobby's talk answered lot of questions. I'm wondering the same thing than Sam, what happened to the baby. Poor Dean, his time is running out, I can't wait to know what'll happen next. Great work Strigo.
Author's Response: I guess I can't put anything past any of you guys, can I? The baby explanation is coming really soon, I promise.
Reviewer: Live1970 (Signed) · Date: 03/07/08 02:12 PM · On: Chapter 11
Ok, what are you doing to poor Dean now? Leaving us hanging on that one little word was cruel. Please don't tell me we have to wait three weeks to find out also... remember, I know where you live! Seriously, thanks for clearing up a few questions I had with this one. EXCEPT THE ONES ABOUT THE BABY! I have a bad feeling about that.
Author's Response: I'm getting to the baby part, honest. Have a little patience. I'll try to get it up in less than three weeks too, promise.
Reviewer: JLE (Signed) · Date: 03/07/08 12:29 AM · On: Chapter 11
I love it when I see an update from you - seriously! What's going to happen to that poor boy?? Can't wait to find out.
Author's Response: Seriously? I love that you love it!! Many thanks!
Reviewer: amethyst (Signed) · Date: 03/07/08 12:25 AM · On: Chapter 11
your stories absolutely rock! I don't know how you manage to have so many on the go at the one time and still produce such a high quality. excellent update
Author's Response: You're gonna give me a big head if you keep talking like that... but I can't say that I don't like hearing it!! Happy to hear you liked the update too! Thanks, as always!!
Reviewer: PaintedBlack (Signed) · Date: 02/07/08 09:49 PM · On: Chapter 8
Hey! I'm normally just a lurker, only plucked up the courage to actually join this site a short while ago. Been reading a few other of your stories and finally decided to give this one a go and I like it but as an assistant editor I can't help but pick up on certain things. I'm sorry, I know this is only fanfiction but some days your job won't leave you alone.
There's this part: “Seriously? Dude, it’s like…3 am, I can’t just go knocking on doors asking…” “Seriously…dude, my brother is in serious need of some serious medical attention right now and if I can’t get him to a hospital, I guess she’s the next best thing. You can either stay here in this room with Dean while I go get her or you can haul your own ass over there and bring her here yourself. Either way she’s getting an early wakeup call because I‘m seriously not in the mood to have my brother die on me today,” Sam rambled, seriously out of patience. “Ok…ok, I’ll go get her, but if she isn’t a doctor, you’re gonna be doing some serious apologizing for me pounding on her door at this hour,” And you probably didn't even realise you did it but you used the word or a deviation of the word serious eight times in those five lines. There are several other times you've done this but this one stands out the most and just a warning, but it's something you should try and avoid in the future because repetitiveness like that can grate on a reader. Just some honest critique for your work.
Author's Response: Thanks for the crititque, it's much appreciated. As a lot of people that read most of my weird ramblings know, that is done with the campiest of intentions as an ongoing competition of sorts and for some strange reason, some people seem to get a kick out of it. It's a little like 'the word of the chapter' kind of thing. The second it starts to annoy though, I guess the game must end, so I'll take you as a vote against. So, in all honesty, yes... I did realize I was doing it every time I typed it. Hey, gotta make my friends happy, right. Now...if I start doing it absent-mindedly in other stories, then tell me because it's only supposed to be in this one.

OMG! Dean! crap...now what? This is SUCH a great story, thanks for updating it! And don't worry about taking a little long to do it, because if this is what you come back with then all is forgiven :P. Really, I loooove this story, it just keeps getting better and better. I'm on the edge of my seat here!
Author's Response: Isn't it amazing how poor Dean uttering that one little word can instill such anxiety in people...including me. I am very happy to hear that you are enjoying this story as much as you are and I do so solemly promise to try to update it a little faster!! I also promise to keep trying to make it better and better, especially if I keep hearing things like what you just said. Thank you!!
Reviewer: youthere (Signed) · Date: 02/07/08 07:38 PM · On: Chapter 11
... hm yeah, the baby's so a part of this somehow... looking forward to the next chapter :)
Author's Response: Now what makes you say that? I'm happy to hear you're looking forward to the next and I gotta say that if it wasn't for your Author's Response to that review I left, I probably wouldn't have even finished this today. Thanks so much!
Reviewer: Vanessa (Signed) · Date: 02/07/08 06:11 PM · On: Chapter 11
I don't care how long it took, it was well--WELL--worth the wait for the update. I still just adore the magic of your storytelling and always look forward to the next bit.
Author's Response: Oh Vanessa, you always say exactly what I need to hear to cheer me up! I'm glad you think it was worth the wait. It took me so long to update this one that I actually had to reread the entire story. (That's pretty sad) Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face today and always. (Still waiting on hearing about that fractured skull too... I'm dreaming about it...I really am!)
Reviewer: bia1007 (Signed) · Date: 13/06/08 04:12 PM · On: Chapter 10
Wow, you had quite a few things in this chapter. Loved the way Sam calmed Dean and helped him fighting the nausea, very touching and so Sam; certainly enjoyed Dean's comment "Why are you petting me like a dog?", funny one. This time - despite everything what she did to Dean - I can't help to feel so sorry for the poor girl and the terrible way she died. Still, what happened to the baby?? None of the other guys did hear the baby crying I think and Dean also is so far the oldest victim, does this mean anything? Oh, and could Bobby please (!!) come back soon, don't have a good feeling here! Great, great chapter!
Author's Response: Ahh, so many questions that beg for answers. There is a very good reason Dean is the only one hearing the baby, but that's my little secret for now. Fear not, all those questions will be answered in good time...(Ok, I really think it's time for me to go to bed now!)
Reviewer: Live1970 (Signed) · Date: 11/06/08 08:26 AM · On: Chapter 10
Damn, sorry I missed this yesterday! I absolutely loved the interaction between the boys when Dean was going to throw up. While I was also amused at Sam petting his brother like a dog, Dean's reaction was classic Dean. "It's gay dude, cut it out!" Very funny. One question though. Why didn't Sam tell Bobby Dean is hearing a baby crying? Something is telling me that that would have been important. Great update...bring on the next one soon please!
Author's Response: Oops, it must have slipped his mind. You know Sam, so forgetful. Besides, the baby crying can't be that important, right? **evil grin** I could totally hear those words come out of Dean's mouth too...can't you?
