You clearly stated that Dean had been taken but what made it real to me was the "rope-chafed wrist." That had me gasping.
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for continuing to read and review. I love the feedback! I'm so glad the "rope-chafed wrist" worked for you. This fic has been a challenge, especially early on, to provide the hurt/comfort that was called for, but also move the plot along a little and provide some answers or hints as to what had happened to Dean--all within 100 words/week, LOL. This was one of my attempts to do that. I'm so happy it worked for you! :)

Great drabble! I'm so glad you've made a story out of your drabbles. Brilliant idea! Love it when one brother's hurt and the other is ready to kick some ass!
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for continuing to read and review. I especially appreciate that you're reviewing the chapters individually, that means a lot to me! I'm so happy you're still enjoying the story! You mentioned liking when one brother is hurt and the other's in butt-kicking mode. I have a longer fic started that you might enjoy, as it definitely fits that description. It's called "The Soul Collector" and is another fic where Dean gets taken. If you decide to check it out, I'd love to hear what you think! :) Thanks again!

Way to start off with action! Luuuuv it!
Author's Response: Hey there! Thank you, so much, for coming over to check out my story. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! :)

Hi - really liked the "drought-dry eyes", the "concussed exhaustion" and the "coasted into sleep" -- Seems you've trimmed it down to perfection ;-) -- Nice!
Author's Response: Awww...thank you for the wonderful compliment. I'm so happy you're enjoying the story! And I'm really thrilled you liked the phrases you mentioned. I've been trying to be super careful of the words I use, because I have so few allowed, and the word limit has really produced some interesting phrases that I've been pretty happy with. I love hearing the ones that worked for you! Hope you'll continue to read and enjoy. More answers will come re: what happened to Dean in the next chapters. Hope to see you back here soon! :)

Very good, so maybe it is something supernatural.
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for coming back to read and review another chapter, it's always an encouragement to hear from you. I'm so glad you're still enjoying the story! I plan to get another chapter up on Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)

Here was me thinking it was just 'Loggers' and there you go adding blood and gore! Brilliant, and the lighter, 'Snick-snick' I can hear it. And a bone torch too... Gosh this is dire...lol. Jacq x
Author's Response: Hey there, Jacq! Thanks for coming back to read another chapter and leave such a great review and rating. I really appreciate it! LOL, yeah, I'm happy to have been able to surprise you here. ;) I'm so glad you liked the lighter sound, it took me forever to get that. And THANK YOU for mentioning the bone torch. I was so excited about that detail (I know, I may be a little sick, LOL) because I thought it was uber-creepy. You're the only one who mentioned it; I'm thrilled to hear you liked it!! Another chapter of this should go up Monday, if all goes well. Hope to see you back here then! :)
Reviewer: Primrose (Signed) · Date: 22/06/09 10:06 PM · On: Belly of the beast
Snick-snick-oh that's a perfect sound! I'm reminded of several campfire stories we told at camp- they ALL involved a lair just like this. Fun!
Author's Response: Hey there! Thank you, for the lovely compliment, I'm really glad you liked the lighter sound and the lair. I really wanted to capture that creepy vibe, so I'm thrilled that it reminded you of campfire stories. :) Another chapter should go up on Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)

This is really good.... I usually like longer pieces- but stories constructed of drabbles has really caught my attention lately. Cant wait to read the next installments.
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks so much for coming over to check out my story, I really appreciate it. I'm so glad you're enjoying this one so far. If you're interested in stories made up of drabbles, you might like the other story I'm doing, "Always With You." I have a word limit set for each chapter, and the first couple are about drabble length, with each chapter getting a little longer as the story progresses. I've set several different parameters for myself when writing that story, because I wanted to play around a little with structure and storytelling techniques. If you decide to check it out, I'd love to hear what you think! :) I update this story once a week, so another chapter will go up Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)

I am so glad that you reminded me in your Father's Day drabble, because I missed this update somehow! Of COURSE I'm interested, because you're one of my favorites! Attacked by Lumberjacks is definitely not what I expected. This question might be answered, but now there's a whole LOT more!
Author's Response: Awww...thanks for saying I'm one of your favorites. That's really sweet, I'm honored! :) I'm glad this was an unexpected twist for you, and that you're still interested in the story and where it's going. Your reviews are always a big encouragement, thank you!

Awesome drabble, Beth. I can practically feel Dean reeling as he gets punched and pummeled, poor baby. And you're re-using words, to great effect. Sue
Author's Response: Hey there, Sue! Thanks for coming back to read and review another chapter. I really appreciate your kind remarks. I'm so glad you're still enjoying the story, this was a very hard chapter to do within the word limit. I'm happy the fight scene worked for you! :) I'm thrilled you liked the repetition, too. It's always a tough call, whether or not to leave it in, with so few words allowed. Glad it worked here. Thanks again! :)

Those damned loggers, hurt our Dean...would you, lol 100 words as much as a long chapter, good one Jacq
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for the great rating and review you left on this chapter. I really appreciate hearing what you think. I'm so glad you're still enjoying the story, this chapter was a huge challenge to do within the word limit. I'm happy it worked for you! :) And never fear, those friggin' loggers will get what's coming to them. ;)

Wow! - This is just great! -- (Sorry, but I have not been reading much and/or reviewing much at all, lately) But, well - Let Me Just Say...........! I'm so happy you decided to write your original drabble into a story!
Author's Response: Hey there! I'm so happy that you came to check out more of my story. I've missed hearing from you. Thanks for the great review and rating you left, they mean a lot to me. Hope you continue to read and enjoy. I look forward to hearing what you think of the rest! :)

Ah ha!! "Loggers!" mm that brings up all sorts of pictures. Why I love this, apart from clever word use and good interaction is that I can read it inbetween calls at work...lol Will be watching out for more Jacq x
Author's Response: Hey there, Jacq! Thanks so much for coming back for another chapter of my story, and for taking the time to leave such a great review and rating. It really means a lot to me. I'm so happy you're still enjoying this story. Thanks for the kind things you said about it. If you're looking for other short fic you can read at work, I just recently did a triple drabble called "Big Brother to the Rescue." If you check it out, let me know what you think! :) Thanks again for all the encouragement! I plan to get another chapter of this up next Monday, if the challenge word cooperates. Hope to see you back here then!

Oh, I do like Sammy with his dander up! And you managed to duplicate words for effect "I wouldn't...I should've...I should've" and STILL keep your hundred word count. Now that's a feat! Sue
Author's Response: Hey there, Sue! Thanks for continuing to read my drabble fic. I'm so glad you liked this chapter. I love a protective Sam, too. :) And yeah--you don't know how many times I was tempted to pull those duplicate words to get the word count down, but I try not to squeeze the dialogue too much, for fear of the boys not sounding like themselves. I'm happy you liked the effect. I'll get another installment up Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)
Reviewer: Swellison (Signed) · Date: 09/06/09 08:14 PM · On: Vigil
I love the transformation of Dean's mood in this, from confused, hurting and worrying about Sam to realizing he's safe with Sam and drifting off into sleep. Awww. I also like 'Sam rubbed gritty, drought-dry eyes; worry eclipsing exhaustion. It vividly shows that Sam's running on empty himself, but he's not budging from Dean's side while his brother needs him. Sue
Author's Response: Hey, Sue! Thanks so much for the great review you left for this chapter! I'm so glad you enjoyed the way I portrayed the boys in this one. Thanks for continuing to read! :)

You really are on a roll with this one, it just proves that a good story can be told well with few words. You have continued to get the feeling just right, and thats why we love them sooo much...lol Jacq
Author's Response: Hey there! Thank you so much, for coming back to read and review another chapter of this story. I'm so happy you're still interested in it; your kind words really mean a lot. I'm glad you think I'm getting the feeling right in here. I don't know if you're still interested, but I've posted another couple chapters of "Always With You." If you check them out, I'd love to hear what you think. :) Another chapter of this will go up Monday. Hope to see you back here then!

that was really cool!! Well done on doing it in drabble format. I've tried that and there was no way I could ever keep within 100 words lol soph xx
Author's Response: Hey there, Soph! Thanks so much for coming over to check out my drabble fic, I really appreciate the review you left! Yeah, the 100 word thing is REALLY hard for me. In fact, I posted a second challenge fic this week called "Big Brother to the Rescue" and it, uh...went over a bit. LOL It ended up being a triple drabble. ;) I probably will do more of this story, as several people have requested it. I plan to post another installment next week, if all goes well. Hope to see you back here then! :)
Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 01/06/09 04:36 PM · On: Vigil
Another great drabble, i liked how Dean was reassured that Sam was safe, so like Dean.
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks for coming back for another installment of this story, I appreciate it! I'm glad you're still interested in where it's going and felt like I had Dean acting in-character. That means a lot! If all goes well, I'll get another chapter up next week. Hope to see you back here then! :)
Reviewer: zz1989 (Signed) · Date: 01/06/09 01:16 PM · On: Vigil
You so like to tease with the little chapters. I hope you'll post another one soon.
Author's Response: I'm not trying to tease, really! It's the drabble challenge--they only let me have 100 words. LOL Trust me, left on my own, I'm quite wordy. ;) If you're looking for a longer "Dean gets taken" fic, though, check out my new one-- "The Soul Collector." It's a multi-chapter with regular-sized chapters. :) I'll get another installment of this up next week, if the challenge word cooperates. Hope to see you back here then! :)

This is so Dean & Sam. Loved this follow on. Jacq
Author's Response: Hey there, Jacq! Thanks for coming back to check out another chapter of my drabble fic, I'm really glad you're still liking it. I plan to get another chapter up in a few days, probably on Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)
Thanks again for the great rating and review! It means a lot!

Hi Beth, This is a nice addition to the first drabble, it ends with Sam tending to Dean and the boys are together. It could end there, but I'm really wondering how you'll handle a drabble hunt;-) Sue
Author's Response: Hey there, Sue! Thanks for coming back to check out another chapter of my story, I really appreciate it! I'm glad you're liking it so far. Yeah, a drabble hunt...that's going to be a challenge! LOL Though that's kinda what I'm doing with your birthday fic, though I'm allowing myself more than just drabble-length chapters. But I'm still under a word limit, so we'll see how it goes. ;) I plan to get another chapter of this up in a few days, probably on Monday. Hope to see you back here then! :)

Love it! I'd like to see Sam get his revenge for his brother's sake!
Author's Response: Hey there! Thanks so much for coming back for another chapter of this, I really appreciate the review and rating you left! I'm glad you're still liking the story. Never fear, there will definitely be some Sam revenge in store! :) I plan to get another chapter up in a few days, probably on Monday. Hope to see you back here then! In the meantime, I just started posting another new story, if you want to check it out. It's called "Always With You." If you take a look, let me know what you think! :) Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
