I'm finally getting caught up on my reading after having lots of family over.  This is fabulous.  I am now very on edge worrying about what's going to happen.  I LOVE it that it's revenants.  Nasty things, revenants. 

Author's Response: smelly, messy things - dropping bits of themselves all over the place... great fun to write though! glad you're enjoying it!

Really loved the details here, the scene when Sam skirted his brothers empty bed (neatly made - it so painfully showed Dean's absence, this totally blew me away), the emptiness and feel of loss so evident, "the hole inside", so intense it hurts. Don't know how you do this, but the terror of it is there in every line. And again, wonderful John you write, the love for his boys so visible, excellent!!!

Author's Response:

well, it took a while to weed out the boring pap and leave just the terror behind, believe me! but its great to know it worked. glad you're enjoying it, thanks for reviewing!

Author's Response: Well, if you think that cliffies bad... next update next friday! thnks for R&R'ing, glad you're enjoying it so far, and have a great new years yourself!

Cliffies make the heart grow fonder :)

Loved that the phone was answered (and bad news delivered) by someone totally oblivious. And complaining about 'stains', poor John.

Catch ya next week :)

Author's Response:

i loved writing that bit - had this little voice ranting in my head for half the day after...

it'll be a friday update again next week, I'm afraid, as I'm away for New Years, but hey. it's only one extra day...

Cal.

I'm a bit behind with reviews, sorry hun.

this is cool. I especially enjoyed the Litchfield scene. It was ..well...terrifying. But the terror was well packaged and felt real.

Reading on.

Hmmm- well at least Sammy knows who has Dean now- but why do I get the nagging feeling that finding them is going to be pretty hard...

I'd love to compllain about the evil cliffie- but errr.... heehee- that'd be the pot calling the kettle black now wouldnt it... LOL

 

gah- waiting till next year for an update- that sounds sooooooo far away... heehee

 

 

Author's Response:

new penname somewhere in there, maybe? and it might not be so hard to find them, but what they find is another story... just two chappies left on this one now, then just you wait for an evil cliffie!

ta for reviewing hun,

The wonderful poem (so hoped for it!!) was such an extra treat, grand one, a perfect entry for this chapter and I have a favorite line here, "Well, I refuse to let you go", awesome!

Very eerie atmosphere, you could actually feel evil was closing in on them in the flashback and still the attack came as a shock, the revenants pure horror, the situation back then so desperate and reason for grave concern about Dean's current condition, stunning how past and present are complected! Sam's anguish so evident in every line (his desperate "I can't find him, Bobby" just heart-wrenching); loved he's refusing to give up his brother "Not until I've got him back. Not until he's safe"/"Hold on. I'm coming, Dean. Just hold on."), this is nothing but brilliant! They might have a trace now, glad Bobby will be there to help Sam (a blessing this man); also you write a wonderful John, a true protector and hunter, scarred but all determined to fight evil and so fond of his boys, a joy to read!

Can't wait for the update - until then thank you so much and a Merry Christmas to you!!!

Author's Response:

the 'poem' is actually a section of song lyrics - all the chapter titles and their respective verses come from the sae songs, and i'll post a full playlist at the end of the story but the one in question is map of the problematique, by muse. i just wish i could claim them as my own work... love the whole song!

as for the atmosphere - great! i seem to have developed an addiction to freaking people out a bit... *evil grin* and there were a few tears from the beta's in those lines!

thanks for reading - have a great christmas,and i'll hope to see you next week for the next update...

I especially loved the first few paragraphs, the descriptions were beautiful and foreboding at the same time.

And the three bikes going back constantly nagging at John, when the reader knows exactly why they turned around... just made me want to shout at him to turn around-now!

I didn't shout at my computer, though. I'm not that far gone..

Author's Response: oh, just wait. I'll have you screaming at it by the end! thanks for reading

Reviewer: youthere (Signed) · Date: 18/12/08 12:35 PM · On: Trying to Find Where You Belong

Scary, SCARY John! Excellently done! Can't wait to see what happens next...

Author's Response: yikes! you made me jump - didn't realise you were reading as i replied to your last review! enjoy the next bit...

Reviewer: CatzEye (Signed) · Date: 13/12/08 02:55 AM · On: Trying to Find Where You Belong

Wow -- this looks to be a powerful, deep & dark story- something to keep one up in the night.

Your writing is brilliantly atmospheric, and gives me chills- and I just can't wait for Thursday---

Exquisitely done!

Author's Response: thanks ash! glad to know you liked it, hope it continues to scare ya... (i'm not mean really. promise!) roll on thurs...

Reviewer: birdie (Signed) · Date: 12/12/08 02:51 PM · On: Among the Dead

Cal.

'Caged by his lashes' nice phrase.

You captured John nicely here, Cal. A tortured but essentially good man, mad wreckless, thoughtless by circumstance. And his boys, proud, terrified, resourceful and thankfully always having each other.

Nicely done.Reading on
