Hey Jules Just read this for the 3rd (or is it the 4th time?) It is has been awhile since the last time I read this and the ending still got me LOL. You always manage to pull me into the boys lives and I lose myself in the story. Thanks!!! On now to the sequel. I should probably wait to start it until tomorrow night as I have to get up early in the morning but I know I won't. Guess tomorrow will be a long day.
Author's Response: Hi, Marcia, Oh, lol - third or fourth time? And then straight onto In Dreams? That's a marathon and a half. I'm really glad that you enjoy the story so much, though, that you keep wanting to come back to it. It was interesting, but scary, to write, because the story just kept growing and growing as I found more stuff about the AU Winchesters to put in there. I had a lot of background to fill in, which is something I didn't realise when I first came up with the idea for the storyline. Then when I got to the last chapter and the big reveal, I worried that it wouldn't be believable due to the length of time for the dream. But I was committed to that ending, and to change it would have meant a major rewrite...if that was even possible at that stage. By the way, did you manage to hold off reading the sequel until the next night? LOL. Thanks again! Jules

so funny! those two! really good! the romance part was sweet!
Author's Response: Uh-oh, you're on this one.....I always get nervous whenever anyone reads this one. I had a whole swag of readers stop reading and reviewing after the final chapter on this went up. In my defense, all I can say is that I didn't write myself into a corner and take the easy way out as someone very (not) politely suggested (accused). The ending had been planned right from the moment I typed the first line. I just never expected the story to get so long. Anyway...*takes deep breath*....hope you do enjoy it. *bites nails* Jules

I adore the twisting tornado that is you! Very well done. Colorful and exciting -- perfect Fourth of July choice for holiday reading! I can always count on you to suck me up into your funnel and take me away, over the rainbow -- past Oz! Wonderful! Always...always...always -- I can't say it enough -- always follow the golden brick road of your muse! Thanks for the fun! And the fun isn't over yet. Dreams are strange creatures...especially in the SN world. Karen. PS: Again, I can never say enough how much I feel the artwork sets the mood and carries the story along. Takes true talent to do that!
Author's Response: When you finally get to In Dreams, don't forget to wear your ruby slippers - you're going to need them - LOL. Seriously, thank you, my friend. I'm - well - relieved, actually, that you loved the ending so much. I had always planned for it, but as I said before, when the story kept growing and growing, I really started to get cold feet, worrying that the original ending wouldn't work any more. But from the moment I wrote the first line with Sam running across the school grounds, I had intended for it to be a dream..........or a vision.........*winks*..... And yes, dreams are very strange creatures, and Sam - and Dean - will find out just how strange they can be in the sequel. And just to dangle the carrot a bit more enticingly lower......four Winchesters, one shower.........*grins*...yes, you read that right - four Winchesters. Take care, my friend, and I hope that you touch down lightly when the funnel lets you go. Jules

Your playground is so much fun. Having a blast reading you. Pardon my bumbling reveiw. Back to the show
Author's Response: Not a bumbling review at all, hun. Makes perfect sense to me. Thank you for that. I'm really glad you're having such a blast. And my playground can get a wee bit freaky at times - lol. But I think you already know that. I'm chuffed that you have come to play. Jules

Ahhhhhhhh..... No time to chat gotta get to the next chapter. Ahhhhh..... You know what I like! Karen
Author's Response: LOL - oh, dear, you've hit the carnage, haven't you? Bodies everywhere.....lol. Thanks, hun. Jules
Reviewer: Dolphindreamer (Signed) · Date: 05/07/10 12:08 PM · On: Chapter 7
"Right back at you, kiddo." Grinning from ear to ear, Dean scooted his chair forward and engulfed his baby brother in a grateful hug. Ohhhhhh....I just loved this chapter....so tender....Dean finally getting through to Sam. Wonderful! I am speechless. Karen
Author's Response: Yes, Dean was really that key element to getting through to Sam, especially when he relapsed and went catatonic. Those magic words that Dean always says in comfort and reassurance unlocked that door that had been slammed in Sam's mind. Thanks, hun, hope you keep enjoying this. Carnage ahead, though.... Jules

Sweet brotherly roll at the end of this chapter. Heart warming. Dude, you could never lose me. You are the bomb! I admire you...bravely marching to the tune of your muse -- it's the only way to write! It is your duty - do or die. Even if sometimes you crash and burn (Which you don't in my eyes -- by the way) You must follow the muse wherever he/she/it takes you. Breaking rules is part of creativity-- the mother of all invention. So, maybe something takes a nose-dive (Not you -- again -- by the way) Each attempt is a stepping stone to greater things, hm? Rambling. Not making sense. Bottom line -- You rock, Karen
Author's Response: No, actually, you're making perfect sense, my friend. And you're right, we are at the mercy of our muses, and must write what said muse dictates. There have been a few times she's scared me, but pushed me beyond my comfort zone at the same time, and on the whole it's worked out all right. And it wasn't a total loss - for everyone who didn't like what I did with this story, there were whole groups who did, so there's a balance there. Thanks, Karen, that made my day. I always worry about this story, so it's nice to know I haven't lost you. Jules

Whew...Very dramatic! Sam is locked inside the prison of his mind. Dean, hurry, help him escape. Adoring your story! Karen
Author's Response: He is indeed, and the visions will keep coming, along with the nightmares of that day he got the scars. Alyssa's about to find out the whole dark tale. Thanks so much, Karen. Hope you continue to enjoy this. Jules
Reviewer: Dolphindreamer (Signed) · Date: 02/07/10 10:56 PM · On: Chapter 2
I liked how Sam knew showing his scars would cause students to bolt. Very emotional -- riveting! Dean so protective -- my favorite. I like how you are pulling all the elements to this story through the eye of the needle...taking us slowly through. Revealing bit by bit. Reeling us along. Sooooooo good! KAREN
Author's Response: Thanks, Karen, and yep, Sam's really sensitive about those scars. There are two flashback chapters coming up which will reveal just what went on that fateful day, and why Dean is uber-protective of Sammy these days. So glad (read relieved here - lol) that you're still enjoying this. Jules
Reviewer: Dolphindreamer (Signed) · Date: 02/07/10 07:57 PM · On: Chapter 1
Boo! Time to start another Jules -- jewel! He, he. Therefore, here I be! Supernatural -- Police Academy style! I like. You are a pioneer. This is a very novel, clever and unique story idea. I adore Sam and Dean as teachers of spook hunting. And we even have Bobby involved, too. Fun. In addition, that Turner kid...makes for great conflict. I love the outside characters you come up with...they don't take away from the brothers bing brothers...they add so much more. To me, that is very hard to do. I tend to stay away from outside characters for that very reason.
You are so good at it!
Dean is so brotherly in this, knowing Sam so well. I love how he knew when to jump in to the fight with Turner and when to just sit and watch. I plan to read the sequel story next...so I won't be popping in to say 'boo' anytime soon...LOL. Onward
Karen
Author's Response: Eek! LOL! Hey, Karen. Oooh, gosh, you're reading this one.....this one lost me quite a few readers, so I always get nervous when I see a new review for poor old Class Dismissed. I had the idea and most of the story mapped out before I started writing it, and the way the story ended was always my intention, but as the middle fleshed out and became bigger, I started really getting cold feet, wondering whether my idea would still fly. But it was too late to change it, so I went with it......and disappointed quite a few people. I was even accused of writing myself into a corner and coming up with a weak plot contrivance to get myself out of it. All I can say in my defence is that the story finished up as I had always intended it to finish, so I hope you wont be too disappointed. Having said that, thank you, and yes, Turner makes a great foil for the brothers. I like original characters who add a little something to the story without taking it over completely, and every one of my OC's serves some sort of purpose. Well, that's my intention - lol. Thanks so much for popping in, and I hope that you will stick with it, and the sequel. The shower scene in the sequel will make it all worthwhile..... Jules

As the character of Dean would tell Sam to bring "PIE"; you certainly brought more then that. . .within even extra dessert and whip cream. It seemed to me real as well. You are the one greates thrill seeker of entertainment for me. Jules, wow what can i say that i have not said lately . . .in ITALY . . . the citizens there are greeted with love, but when most are in amazement over something they say BELISIMO!! In other words you are deffenetly one of a kind, and in MEXICO . . .UN EXITO SIN FIN POR TODO ETERNIDAD DE SUENOS. . .there is no end to anything you do. U are an eternal dreamer that will always succeed with richs: Mentally, Phsycily, and Emotionaly. GRACIAS AMIGA MIA, GRACIAS. . .Y QUE SIGE SUS ESTORIAS CON SU CORAZON.(Thank you my friend, my your stries keep going with your heart and soul.) P.S. I did like the part to where he accedently hits Dean in the nose. Rating: Simply eternal.
Author's Response: I thank you. You bless me greatly with your words. I'm glad that I could take you on this journey, and that you have enjoyed it so much. Oh, and I loved writing the punch in the nose bit, and the aftermath when Dean demands to know what's going on. That was fun. Thank you, my friend. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 05/03/10 07:27 PM · On: Chapter 10
its the dynamics of the structure of words that u use that just simply attach to the criteria of the situation at hand. the sceinerio that i see is an open park field that converts at a rapid pace of a young to old graveyard with all hunters that have either mid-servived or servived with minor punctures. Like an enchanted dance. this is one of the best that i certainly like very much. thanks. i'd so like to get a copy of this one and the second one that is a part of this "In Dreams I Walk With You . . ." this is more then amazing. bless the soul of your thoughts, techniques, and love of writing such great sculpture's like Van Go, and Stephen King to Dean Kontz. I stand aned applaude you with grace and beauty.
Author's Response: Yes, you're right - the park rapidly does become a graveyard as the YED goes hunting. But again, all is not what it seems. Sam's not going to see this one coming.... Oh, and yep, will forward In Dreams to you as well. Jules

Author's Response: Yes, things are really getting tense now. And we're in the home stretch - just two chapters to go. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 04/03/10 03:39 AM · On: Chapter 8
No, i think that it was pertty lagit and the information to how strung out Sam was from the incident brings images of mine, and how Dean had to deal with in the roller coaster; like it is with my 1st brother and i really do like this. The flow of how the incedent from the hypnotic trial came to a disaster to allow them both on a need a vacation. Which was good and it help releave stress for Sam and Dean physicly, mentaly and emotionaly. very good.
Author's Response: Yes, it was a very trying time for Sam during his recovery. And the hypnosis session didn't go well at all. But as you saw, it did actually break through one of Sam's mind barriers, so something good came out of it in the end. Jules

I had almost the same thing but i died six times and was as you would say reserected six times. I feel that you know so me so well asd if i was a blue print but in a different way. thanks. again your writing is amazing.
Author's Response: Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must have been a terrible accident that you suffered. It sounds like a miracle that you survived. Thank you - I'm glad the story speaks to you on such a deep level. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 03/03/10 09:14 PM · On: Chapter 6
the formation of the story is scaling to wickidly awsome. in how the revelations of a HUNTERS BIBLE is told by stories. . .along within the pages of demon revolution. this is what a story is all about to keep a reader hook and draged like a fish wanting fresh water.
Author's Response: LOL - thank you! Glad I could keep you hooked. It's going to get a bit darker very shortly. Something big and bad is coming. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 03/03/10 06:46 PM · On: Chapter 5
thank you for this impact story. i love it and my other sense can basicly metaphoricly be there in that same place and time. if i concentrate hard enough i am there in the shadow. This old story as you would say, keeps getting young by the minute and i do appluad you for it. the syntax, of all the hunters beng there and judging sam is crazy, but haveing bobby stand for the winchesters is awsome and the visual aspect of how the CONFRENTATION BETWEEN DEMON AND SAM ALONG WITH TORRTURE IS . . .I'M IN AWWWW. . . IF there is a way to get a copy of this one and In Dreams I walk with you. i'd so thank you.I do hope that your cat is doing well and so are you, thanks friend.
Author's Response: Yes, that was pretty horrific what Sam went through. Oh, so glad you loved Bobby and his defense of his boys. And there certainly is a way to get a copy. I'll email both to you tonight. Thank you - the old girl isn't well. I think this will be her final year. She's almost 18, and that's a pretty good age for a cat. Jules

Thank you. The dramatic outline of the issue @ hand is a great set up to even scare me. Thou i'm a fanattic and always have been of SAM WINCHESTER.
Author's Response: It's going to get a little scarier before I'm done, too. Loads more angst and stuff to come. Sam's in danger - and there's something coming that even he won't see... Jules

you sinmply did more of that for me a reminder of my husbands firts date and tag alongs of first younger brother and mother along for the ride very uncomfortable thanks. . .hahaha
Author's Response: Oh my gosh! I can imagine nothing worse than the family tagging along. How embarrassing! And Dean can be so embarrassing when he's in teasing mode - lol. Jules

it is unique how inhance Sam persists to follow in his brothers foot . . .how he close's off once more to bing a lonly soul with trying to leave another footprint in the sand and allow the ocean to be new clear images of the new future, but he replaces them with new nightmares. Dean on the other hand should not push nor shove. Should allow his system of protectio to be only afar for a bit, but stand loyal and attck mood when need be. I love the remark of Sam statment making them appear like an old married couple.
Author's Response: Oops -we've had a double up again. Internet blip.

reviews are ETERNAL from ONES SOUL. You have a great imagination towards writing. . .the SYMPATHY that Dean shows towards his brother Sam, and how in the same time they show both the similarites of DEFEAT without even sharing in comment only by reaction i can sense it. Im speechless.
Author's Response: Thank you. I've always had a fairly good imagination....sometimes it works against me...but not with writing. Hope you enjoy the roller-coaster ride of this story. It's got a few twists and turns before it's done. Jules

No, I think that was very artistic and it had a bit of humor with an honest relaxed breather. You again are definate a pote. I bet that all the faous writers amongets the living and the dead would appluade you.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for that. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And the shower scene will be explained in In Dreams, the sequel to this story. Actually, the whole dream will become clear in the sequel. Thanks again for reading and reviewing.
