The hand game...I really loved it. I honestly wasn’t expecting that scene at the end of the hunt but it was completely memorable for me. I even want to play the hand game with my nieces and nephews. It is really sweet. Great hunt. Great fun. great brotherhood. Lovely story.
Author's Response: Hi Star, Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. Glad you liked the story and the hand game;-) I like the idea of you passing it on to the next generation, too. Ah, and thanks for the stars, Star;-) Sue

I like this, very nicely written for a first hunting story. Wonderful details about the towers. I liked that you used real places. Sam saving Dean was great, just what he needed after he couldn't save Madison. Also loved how Dean told him that Constance's live wasn't really living and that he saved Madison by releasing her. Hugs, Vonnie
Author's Response: Hi Vonnie, Glad you liked this and thanks for the review. I used a blended history approach to the story's location, starting with researching the real moonlight towers (and a field trip to Austin), and then embellishing as needed to add the Supernatural element. As they say, the devil's in the details. Sue

Aww... The hand game was so sweet! You succeeded on all three counts, very entertaining, spot on characterisation and I loved the idea of the moonlight towers containing this tragic werecat especially the Daniel Colt Bainbridge angle. Great banter between the boys. I do love Sammy looking after Dean. A lovely story. Jane
Author's Response: Jane, Thanks for the awesome review, and more stars. I love Sammy looking after Dean, too. Faith is one of my favorite eps, because it shows that the bond between Sam and Dean goes both ways. I'm a Deangirl, but I love and appreciate Sam, too - and it's easier for me to think like Sam than Dean. Sue

Totally keeping my interest! Austin sounds well worth a visit, - just so long as that were-panther/cougar has been sorted first by the boys, the moonlight towers sound awesome. I love your very detailed descriptions and the nighttime scene in the park was so atmospheric and creepy. The banter between the boys is very natural and Deans' eating prowess seems to be playing a staring role!! Great story, I'm off to the last chapter, now. Jane
Author's Response: Jane, Thanks for another glowing review and the stars. I couldn't resist a throwaway line about Dean's appetite, glad you noticed;-) Sue

Okay, so now I want to go and order me some hash browns and waffles! Lovely detailed descriptions and some great dialogue. I'm off to the next one. Jane
Author's Response: Hi Jane, Thanks for the review, I love the show's dialogue and try to keep the tone of it going in my fic. And after posting this, I'm hankering for Waffle House, myself. Sue

hi swellison, I enjoy your story it's very good. And yes you succeed it was new and entertaining, good job. maryf ps: sorry for the vocabulary or mis spell, but i'm a french girl.
Author's Response: Hi maryf, Merci beaucoup. Pardonnez-moi,, mais ma francaise est tres ancienne. Drat, I wanted to say "rusty", but I don't remember the word. Thank you for the review, I'm thrilled that you took the time to read and comment on my story, which is written in a foreign language for you. So now I'm curious, are the episodes you watch dubbed in French or do you watch online and listen to it in English?l Sue

Sue, great story; love the hand game. Renee
Author's Response: Thanks, Renee! I'm partial to the hand game, too. My mom taught it to me and my little sister when we were youngsters.

This was good. Didn't get bogged down, the guys were in character, and I love the hand game.
Author's Response: Hi Anna, Thanks for the review, glad you found the guys in character. Sue

This was a great story Swellison, loved your originality, the banter you have going between the boys, the plot and most of all the whole Wee!chester ending...loved that a lot. This was great work, hope to see you post a lot more real soon and sorry it took me a day or so to get to it. XX Louy
Author's Response: Hi Louy, Oh, thanks, Louy, I'm blushing. I knew I wanted to try my hand at a Wee!chester scene, and then I remembered the hand game, and it just felt right, so I used it. Glad you liked it and thanks for the stars, too! Sue

Can I just say...I love this plot. This really is inspired writing and a very compeling story. Love the whole blue-eyed were-cat, so original (which is a rare thing) and the moonlight towers are a great visual. Moving on to next chapter, still not sure how I missed this one when you posted. XX Louy
Author's Response: Hi Louy, Oh wow, thanks for the great review. I'm a cat person from way back, and I wanted to write a different sort of werewolf story, so I went with a were-cat instead. When I first saw the moonlight towers, I started thinking, dang, there's got to be a Supernatural story in here somewhere... and eventually, there was.;-) Sue

Interesting and intriguing start, Sue. You had me completely stumped with double hash browns - scattered, covered, chunked, capped and topped. Thank goodness you helped me along a few paragraphs later. :-) Looking forward to the next update.
Author's Response: Hi Vanessa, You've never been to a Waffle House? Hmm, maybe they're not a chain back East. They are like a diner version of Denny's or IHOP. Small restaurants, specializing in waffles and you can put about 10 different things on their hash browns. Scattered just means that they have been stirred around on the grill (that's a freebie), the rest is like Diner shorthand for the ingredients, which are listed when the waitress puts the food on the table. I went to a Waffle House for research, and wrote down the types of hash browns. Also, got the 200,000 orders of omelets from the website, so the food info in the story is accurate;-) I start a hunt story one of two ways, either with the latest victim of whatever (like Something Wicked), or with the boys looking for something to hunt, as I did here.

Great opener, and as always I love your attention to detail. You paint such a visual picture with your writing it's like watching an episode. Great dialogue too, awesome banter...lol Will be watching for chapter 2...XX Louy
Author's Response: Hi Louy, Thanks for the glowing comments. When I'm reading fanfic, I want to wrap myself around the story, and I try to write the same way. I love it when the boys banter, they haven't done that much in season 3. It's fun figuring out a plausible scene where they will banter. Next chapter will probably be up Thursday. Sue
