Ohhh... I think I'm speechless. But in a good way. I don't know what to say. Just... I really really love this last chapter!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks! That's the best thing you could possibly say! I never expected to find Bobby easy to write - in fact, most of the time he really isn't! - but every now and then something clicks. That said - he is GREAT fun to write! His perspective on the boys is so unique, and it's lovely to explore their relationship.He's like a surrogate father/uncle/big brother/guardian angel, and I really wish we'd seen more of his reactions to what's happened - then again, if we had, I never would have written this! I was STOKED when you said you could see Jim and Jensen acting that scene out (seriously - if I had more energy I'd be bouncing around the room right now...) - that's just made my week! Huge thanks, once again, your reviews are always treasured! Cal

Brilliant!! Once again, you have Bobby down so perfectly I could imagine Jim Beaver acting it out. The pure, raw emotion that always surrounds Bobby was there as well as his speech and mannerisms.

"welcome as clap in a whorehouse" LMAO! I"m still laughing as I type this. Every time I think of it I know I'm going to laugh. You have Bobby's droll sensibilities and colorful phrases down perfectly! How did you fit in his head? Just a few of my favorite lines: Kid's table manners ain't improved any. Winchester stubborn can be useful sometimes. When Bobby comments on how rare it is that Dean lets him lead the way, it tugged on my heart-strings. This is a very thoughtful, emotional piece. It makes me stop to think and at times when I'm reading I can see Jim and Jensen acting it through.

No i wouldn't like to be in Bobby's head, a heartbreaking chapter.

I think waiting would be the hardest job ever. Bobby has definitely had it hard this season. This was fabulous, describing the wait, then dealing with the wounded the best way he knows how. I kind of liked the idea of Bobby having a dark room. He's always full of surprises. Great one!

I know I didn't come out of that episode unscarred. My heart bled for the boys, for Bobby, and for Ellen and Jo. I don't think any, or at least many are capable of fathoming the blind courage, or as some would call it, sheer idiocy, someone has to possess in order to do what they do. Wake up every day and keep fighting, even though that road is getting darker and it's grinning ominously with fangs dripping with a fate worse than death. This made me cry all over again. The raw power of emotion sinks in and leaves me feeling road hauled. But take a lesson from the boys, pick yourself up, pick out the grit, dust yourself off and keep going. You're a little older and a little wiser now from the experience.

I think being left to wait. Stranded. Is possibly one of the worst things that could ever happen. Biting at your nails and pacing, cursing and trying to calm all those nasty little voices in your subconscious that are there to torture you and fill your head with the worst possible things. There's nothing that can spread someone's sanity more thin, and yet give them a strange resolve to not turn back and to see things through not matter the end.
Reviewer: WynterSun (Signed) · Date: 19/02/10 01:41 AM · On: Chapter 1
I have to seriously applaud you on this one. You've nailed Bobby's lingo and mannerisms perfectly and I gotta say it's really nice to see someone take Bobby's perspective on events. Yes, we all love the boys for everything they are but it's refreshing (that's really not the word I want to use but I can't think of any other one at the moment) to be able to look through the eyes of someone who sees those boys as his own. And besides Bobby totally rocks my socks, I love that dude! ^^
Reviewer: fitz (Signed) · Date: 19/02/10 12:27 AM · On: Chapter 1
Please keep going. You're dead on with Bobby's POV and his take on what's happening to the boys is so relevant. It adds another dimension to our understanding of the boys experieces. I'd be keen to read a Bobby POV tag to the end of My Bloody Valentine. Cheers
Reviewer: Nikocal (Signed) · Date: 06/06/09 09:01 PM · On: Chapter 1
This is fantastic. The ending is perfect- it just blew me away. I love Bobby's POV, as much as I love his character I have a hard time writing him myself, and this is really wonderful. Can you do one for when he hears about Sam's addiction? I'd love to see the conversation between him and Dean...
Author's Response: Oh, now there's an idea... I'd only vaguely thought about continuing these scenes, but I'm finding Bobby quite fun to write. He's a blast to have in your head! Glad you liked it, and thanks!
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 02/06/09 10:51 AM · On: Lonely Nights, Lonelier Dawns
Just brilliant, you got Bobby so right again, i could picture him in my mind pacing around his house worried sick about the boy's, well done.
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you liked it. There may be more to come on this, I think. I like writing Bobby. (He gets to call the boys 'idjits'. lol)
Reviewer: Swellison (Signed) · Date: 01/06/09 11:38 PM · On: Lonely Nights, Lonelier Dawns
Nice job of capturing Bobby's perspective. Really like the impression of angel wing burnt into the wall. Sue
Author's Response: Thanks! That image just hit me - I think I was writing this idea s a drabble at one point, and needed a way to have Bobby know what had happened to Den - and one that would fit in the word count!
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 01/06/09 03:43 PM · On: Lonely Nights, Lonelier Dawns
I love Bobby! You've really managed to capture his voice, I think. I wondered what his end of the experience would be, and I think you got it right.
Author's Response: Aw, ta hun! This was a very visual one to write - maybe 'cause I'm still a little strung out after asylum (woot!) - but I had the scene playing over and over in my head the whole time. Originally, it was going to be a kind of 'S5 opener' - that may come sometime, as it's something I really do want to write, but this one just ended. Thanks again, and I'm glad you liked it! Cal
Reviewer: NongPradu (Signed) · Date: 28/05/09 10:18 PM · On: Chapter 1
Oh wow. Just discovered this now and it's absolutely beautiful. What a nice little insight into Bobby during those moments, but at the same time into Dean as well through Bobby. Definitely worthy of the feature. *applauds* Take a bow, girl!
Author's Response: *blushes* Again. Thanks hun! Glad you liked it!

Your words just scream Bobby, you've captured him so well. Congrats on the feature. Crystal

Hey Cal, amazing one shot, so how long have you been channelling Bobby? Jacq
Author's Response: My inner Bobby wanted to come out and play. Ta hun!

I can't tell you how clearly I hear and see Jim Beaver in this story. Fab job, Cal, seriously great read. ;) Kel

I love Bobby and everything he means to the boys- you have so tatally captured him-just PERFECT!!! Thanks for sharing this story- it's one in a million!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Author's Response: Wow. Thanks! Glad you liked it!!!!!

Good 'un. Really like your Bobby. "It's not until I take a look at his hands and see the bruises and scrapes on his knuckles that it hits me and I'm fully, completely and utterly sober for the first time in four damn months." was an awesoe penny dropping moment. Good job on the Cado too (and self pimpin's totally allowed). looking forwards to more of that ;-)
Author's Response: Like I said in response to Julie's review - I've got a kind of a thing for beat up hands (*sigh...* ok. So I'm a teensy bit twisted... and in good company!) and seeing them throughout the epi just kept bringing it home to me that he'd dug himself out of his own grave! Gawd, that musta been horrific. So it seemed like that was what really dropped the penny for Bobby I do wish the show had mentioned it, but then, there's only so much they can do in 40 mins. Sadly. Oh - and since self-pimping is allowed - posted a one-shot/character study sorta thing in the Cado last night! thanks Cal

Wow, that doesn't happen to me very often, where I hear the characters voice in my head as I read. I could hear Bobby, every word in this, as if he were whispering in my ear. It was amazing. The pacing was perfect, the choice of words perfect. I really can't find the words to express how perfectly written this little piece is...thank you so much for a wonderful, surprising, enjoyable experience.
Author's Response: Somehow, that actually sounds kinda scary... Imagining a mini!Bobby peched on your shoulder, whispering in your ear here. eep! So glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing, I've been kind of blown away by the response to this ficlet - I never expected much from it! Cal
Reviewer: bjxmas (Signed) · Date: 27/04/09 10:16 PM · On: Chapter 1
Personally, I find it really hard to write a tag for a perfect episode, and LR was perfect in every way. And yet, now I know what I was missing. I love Bobby, and you and he have a colorful way of expressing all the love he has for Dean and hurt he went through when he lost him. I most especially liked the comment about Dean's eyes, "It didn't hide the understanding in his eyes, and damn if I hadn't missed that. I've never seen someone so guarded, so locked down who can't hide a thing behind his eyes from the people who know him." That perfectly describes how Jensen brings Dean to life through his eyes. Thanks for a wonderful read. B.J.
Author's Response: I loved LR, and honestly hadn't thought about doing a tag for it. Then I saw that look on Bobby's face when Sam and Dean hug and it's so open, so unguarded that it got me thinking. So I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reading, Cal
Reviewer: CatzEye (Signed) · Date: 27/04/09 09:19 PM · On: Chapter 1
Wow - you've got Bobby's voice really down here! -- This was a pleasure to read - very emotional, very lovely - Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks hun!

Hey Cal. Lovely. It sounds just like he's sitting next to me speaking to me alone. Ohh Kripke you leave our Bobby alone...don't you dare hurt him! Congratulations on the feature. bev xx
Author's Response: Been listening to Ilka? That's a scary theory... Bobby's fun to have in your headspace - very dry, Dakotan draaawl. Or even a twang... Thanks!
Reviewer: Midge (Signed) · Date: 27/04/09 12:59 PM · On: Chapter 1
Ahhh, that's - lovely, sweet and so perfect. Thank you.
Author's Response: Thank you! Reviews make the sun come up in the morning. Hopefully...
Reviewer: PropGal (Signed) · Date: 27/04/09 12:48 PM · On: Chapter 1
Beautiful, captivating, and with just the right amount of humor. You write Bobby well. And think it feels complete.....but if you write more, I'll surely read it.
Author's Response: Thanks! Wanted to write something lighter. It turned out angsty anyway, but there ya go... Glad you liked it!
