Loved this. I love that you had them talk about the messed up voicemail. That's a big thing on the show that has me so pissed at the writer's. I've always wanted them to talk about the voicemail and get everything straightened out.
Author's Response: Hi, again - lol. I'm unusually fast in catching up with my reviews for a change...*scratches head* Oh, the voicemail. There were two things that bugged Jane and me when we were working on the story, and one of them was the voice message. I've always been certain it was a collaboration between both heaven and hell - Zachariah for letting the message out and Ruby for changing the wording - unless Zachariah did both. But from that tell-tale smirk, Ruby must have known what Sam would hear, which is why I banked on a collaboration. I did hear once that the boys mentioned at a Con their characters had talked about the voicemail "off-camera". But that didn't really scratch the itch we both had over it. We needed it resolved. Thanks so much for reading, and I'm so thrilled you enjoyed this. Jules

*Sigh* we come to an end.I write sucky reviews, I don't know why, just not good at this. For someone that lives for them, you think I'd be better at this.Let's just say, I loved this story, I feel almost overwhelmed by your talent, and very inadequate...I shall read more, hopefully I get the time, soon!
Author's Response: Nothing wrong with your reviews. Hey, at least you left some! Sadly a lot of people have become lurkers lately, or have gone altogether. Thank you. I'm stoked that you loved it so much. And now that I'm on Christmas holidays, I intend to get back to your story as well, during my week and a bit off. Real life sort of took over for a while there in the run up to Chrissy. But it's quietening down now - thank heavens! There are a few of your stories that I want to get to before I return to work on the 3rd. And never slight yourself. You're a very good writer, with a talent for weaving an intriguing tale that keeps the reader engaged in the story. Hope you had a great Christmas and that it wasn't too hot in your part of Oz. Jules

I am lost for words! Loving what you have done here, the way you have crafted such a captivating tale! Next chapter now...
Author's Response: Thank you once again - I really appreciate that. It's nice to know that my endless fiddling and tweaking pays off - lol. Seriously though, it does mean an awful lot to me to know how much a reader is enjoying something I've written. Hope you keep enjoying it. Jules

I am SOOOO glad I am reading this after the story is finished, I could not have possibly taken a week of waiting!!! You have the finest grasp of the characters, and the suspense is building, wasxing, waning, God...need to get to the next chapter now!!
Author's Response: LOL! Yes, I was bugged for early chapters, but I stick to my guns, and my weekly posting. Drags out the torture...*snicker* Thank you so much. I poured a lot into this story, and of course, I had to do justice to my reader's outline. We worked quite hard on this, and had lots of emails back and forth mapping out the plot. Think I still have the emails saved somewhere, actually.... Thanks again - hope you enjoy the coming chapters. Jules

Damn...I can't read any more until tomorrow...and I can't wait!
Author's Response: If only our real lives wouldn't keep getting in the way of our SN stuff, eh? I wish I had that fabled money tree growing in my backyard so that I could stay home full-time and write. *sigh* Oh, well.....one day, perhaps.... Hope you're still enjoying the tale. Things start to get a bit grim in the next chapter. Hold on to your hat! Jules

Wow.... just...wow. You sure can write...
Author's Response: Hi, Caroline, Um - well, thank you! I'm so stoked that you've enjoyed the first chapter so much. Hope the rest of it lives up to your expectations. And thank you so much for coming on board for this crazy ride. Jules oh - by the way, your review was entered twice (damned formatting demon that lives on the site) so I'll just reply to this one and make the ring-in disappear - lol. J

I really enjoyed this and was a great alternative to the way things played out on the show. Thanks for sharing this. :)
Author's Response: Thank you, Angie, I was actually racing to catch up on episodes while I was writing this, but the finale left me literally speechless. I so wanted a better end for Sam, and would have been hard-pressed to watch my early season DVD's had he not come back from the cage or had season six not eventuated. So glad you enjoyed it. Take care, Jules
Reviewer: WendyLee (Signed) · Date: 14/05/11 01:38 AM · On: Epilogue
Okay, I just read this story (again) and realized that I never reviewed. As others have already stated I like your ending alot better than the show. I did not like it when they sent Dean to Hell and then they sent Sam to Hell too!!!! Great story!!!!! I am spending way to much time on this site reading about the boys while waiting for the season 6 finale. Keeping my fingers crossed that they do the boys justice, then we will have to wait for season 7. I am in withdrawals already. Thanks again for sharing your awesome talent with us.
Author's Response: Thanks, Marcia, I was a bit worried about this one, especially the God element, and I did tell Jane that I had a bit of a panic over how to write Him, so I skimmed that bit with the barest of descriptions, because seriously....*flaps hands*...how am I supposed to do God justice? And I was so shocked by both the S3 and S5 epilogues - especially the S5 one. I remember after watching it, I went to bed and stared at the wall for well over an hour, trying to process it all. I just couldn't wrap my mind around that horrible ending for Sam. If they hadn't signed up for another season, I'm not sure if I'd have been able to watch my DVD's again, knowing what Sammy's fate was to be. So I'm really glad you enjoyed our little collaboration, and our solution to the whole apocalypse thing. Not long now to the finale - just a few more days. Then I have a feeling we're going to need more tissues than we did for season five.....*bites nails*.... Jules

NO JULES, YOU ARE VERY BERRY BERRY WRONG; BLESS YOU AND THE ENJOYMENT OF WORK THAT YOU HAVE PRESENTED NOT YO YOUR DYONG HEART THROB FANATIC BUT TO THE MANY HAVE READ YOUR PEACEFULL STORIES.
Author's Response: I'm wrong? What about? I'm really glad that you have enjoyed this one so much, and responded with such passion. It was an interesting story to work on, and hugely satisfying in that it scratched a few itches that we had, through things not being revealed on the show that we wanted some resolution for. I was worried about the God scenes, because seriously, how does one do justice to the Almighty? So if those scenes fell flat, that was purely down to my own nervousness in writing Him. Take care, and thank you again for your wonderful reviews. I'll email a copy of this story to you this evening. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 13/02/11 10:47 AM · On: Epilogue
NO!!!! jules THANK YOU AND YOUR WRITINGS ARE MY LIFE LINE I THINK SOME HOW I WAS CHOOSSEN TO READ YOUR MATERIAL AND THE LYRICAL WORDS ARE OUTSTANDING TO ME AS IF IT WAS A SCRIPTURE SO THANK YOU RATING: NEVER ENDING
Author's Response: Is that "no" because the story's finished? LOL. Thank you so much for your beautiful words. I am touched and blessed that you get so much joy and meaning from my stories. Really, that's all a writer can ask for - that their audience is touched in such a good way. hugs Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 13/02/11 09:23 AM · On: Chapter 5
Jules, can i say something ... I think our Sammmmy's home will always be Dean no matter the cost along with pain and suffering...i would so like a copy of this one and i hope one day i get to meet the writers so i can hand them this and have them publish it to the seireis of SUPERNATUAL because that is where it is supposed to be thank you once again. MY RATING: LIFE ot the fullest
Author's Response: I believe it is, too, and that was the central theme for the story Finding Home - it was all about Sam finding Dean. There will be battles, and forces will try to rip the boys apart or drive a wedge between them, but I think they will always find their way back to each other somehow - dazed and bloody, beaten down but not defeated. Jules

pleaase jules dont let him die in pain this is a rocken story and i was wondering i fonce again i can request a copy to a beautifull sonet that you make it to rality for me thank you.
Author's Response: I will certainly send you a copy, hun. I'll email it tonight when I get home from work. And don't worry - I don't write death fics, remember? But things will look pretty bleak for a while. Never fear, though, help will come from a rather surprising quarter. Thanks so much for reading. I'm really glad you're enjoying this. Jules

Dean he is weakening sam he can take it hurry lucifer is doing the last touch for his new body...
Author's Response: Yes, that particular vulture is circling Sam, I'm afraid. And Dean has given up hope... Dark days ahead when Sam falls into Lucifer's hands. What will Dean do? What can he do? Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 13/02/11 08:13 AM · On: Chapter 2
damn it cas...you'd promisse you'd help my boys and booby well now is a good time as ever to start your mojo.
Author's Response: Poor Cass - his mojo is severely limited. But he will help, in a rather surprising way, actually. Hang in there, hun, don't give up on Cass just yet. But it will get darker before that dawn.... Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 12/02/11 06:28 PM · On: Chapter 1
This is so going to suck damn it Cas... you should have come clean with the boys...now Dean is coming for you...
Author's Response: Hey, Ivonne, Yes, Jane and I were waiting for a few big reveals, and Cass' involvement with letting Sam out of the panic room that night was one of them. But it never happened - damn it! So we wrote it ourselves. But I feel that Cass should have come clean, and admitted to Sam - or to Dean - what he had done under Zachariah's orders. Thanks for reading, hun. Jules

Hi Jules, I'm on vacation and took a few of your stories with me. This was awesome. I love Zach as a bad guy, he makes such a good one and I must say I loved your use of all the angels in this one. Gabriel is just too much fun in my book. Your story had everything I love, Sam whumpage with big brother protectiveness. And anytime you include Bobby in my book is a good thing. This was a great read- thanks for the ride. :) Claudia
Author's Response: Hi, Claudia, Ah, you're on summer holidays, eh? My summer holidays come up at Christmas time down here - lol - got to love a diverse world. Zach was horrible, wasn't he? He reminded me of the worst type of used car salesman, or a sleazy politician. He was so good at being bad. Oh, the angels - oh, my goodness, I did some hair-tearing over all the angel interaction. I worked for hours on the conversations and motives, rewatching snatches of episodes to "hear" their voices, then sending it all off to my beta to see how it all sounded to her. So that's great to hear feedback on those bits. Thanks hun - I love to include Bobby, too, and I apparently have a reputation for whacking the crap out of Sam - LOL. So glad I could give you a generous helping of your favourites. Take care,
Jules

It is about time I tell you that I truly loved this story! Thanks so much for all the heart and truth you pour into your well written words. Miss you, as I confess to eagerly awaiting a new story, and hope you are well. Jo
Author's Response: LOL - by now you've got your little thank-you present. And I see you liked it, too. I'm so glad. Thank you, Jo. You've done this a couple of times for me now - given me a review and my muse a kick start to get working again. I'm chuffed that you enjoyed this one. Sarah (my beta) and I work hard on all my stories to get them right, but this one had a few tricky moments that caused the emails to fly constantly back and forth between Australia and England until we got it all hammered out - especially Sam and Dean's reasons for their actions or inactions once Zachariah snatched Sam. We went through a few different scenarios and lengthy discussions before settling on this course. So for you to say you loved it, makes all that hard work so worthwhile. hugs Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 03/07/10 12:55 PM · On: Epilogue
thank you for this one. i do like the message t drings. i was wondering if there is a possibility to get a copy of this one. thank you,
Author's Response: Thanks, Ivonne. I'm really pleased that you stuck with it, even though I scared you at first with where it was going. Oh, you liked that we resolved the message thing? We set out to do a few things, and one was bringing the changed message to light. Jane heard that it had been revealed by the boys at a Con that the message tampering had been discussed "off-camera", but that didn't satisfy us. We wanted to see the shock and resolution for ourselves, because that changed message was the final thing that pushed Sam over the edge. Dean needed to know that, and Sam needed to find out that it wasn't Dean's message - that his brother hadn't called him a monster. thanks hun, emailing you that copy now. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 02/07/10 08:09 AM · On: Chapter 5
this is hard core and if its okay with you. . .if you can wish me or grant me another request if i can have a copy of this. . .i can finaly read something like this and it feels like me. Please if there is a way to get a copy, id thank you.
Author's Response: Of course, hun. Sorry I've been a bit delayed in sending the copy - we had a pretty busy weekend with one thing and another, so I've got a quiet evening to catch up on reviews, emails and stuff. Am emailing you a copy as soon as I reply to your last review. Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 02/07/10 07:49 AM · On: Chapter 4
this is so getting out of hand. . .my sammy.
Author's Response: Yes, it's getting downright scary. We really put Sam through the wringer on this one. But I'd had it in my mind for a long while - what if Zachariah decided to use Sam as leverage to get to Dean, so I just let my mind wander down that possible path, and it came back dragging this. Hang in there - the cavalry's coming. But will they be in time? Jules
Reviewer: sam (Signed) · Date: 02/07/10 07:26 AM · On: Chapter 3
yes you have jewels. . .you so rock to all your stories. thank you i may request for this one. i love it.
Author's Response: Yes, of course you may. I'll email it to you tonight. This one was hard, in that I had to keep myself spoiler-free for the final few episodes of season 5 while I was writing, so as to keep my head in our plot and not Kripke's - lol. All those lovely spoilers and eppy's, and I couldn't look! Thanks, hun, glad you're loving this one. Jules

hey sweety its me again and this one just ties its knotted stomach intestine to one whole big thing.
Author's Response: Hey, Ivonne, Yes, this one got pretty intense. Jane and I worked on the planning of it quite intensely - emails were flying back and forth across the ocean every few days, mapping out plot twists and characters, etc. But you know I'm such a Pollyanna, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Just hope it's not the train coming...... Jules

Hey Jules, How was the Sydney Con - did you get that glass of wine with Jim? Just wanted to say how much I loved this story - an excellent 50th - and how impressed I am that you managed to stay away from the 100th episode for so long. I never could have done it! I feel bad saying this (I adore the show and am full of admiration for the writers) but I actually preferred your ending of the story to what the show gave us! I'm hoping that the first episode of season 6 will give it more context and maybe the ending won't seem so sudden in the wider picture. As others have noted in reviews, you gave us the boys side by side again, which is where I thought they'd end up after Point of No Return - I don't want them to be distant again next season. It's one thing for the relationship to evolve but I've had enough of them lacking trust and faith in each other. So your story gave me what I wanted on that front, which would have been enough in itself for me, but the thing you added that I really loved was the stuff about the amulet. I couldn't believe that they didn't bring that back into the story before season end. Like you, I think that necklace means as much to Sam as it does to Dean - it's a symbol of their connection - and I'm sure Sam would not have left it in the trash. So I was really happy to see in your story that Dean discovers it amongst Sam's stuff and is glad to find it there. Maybe that's what they'll do in the show? Hope so, because for me that amulet is only slightly less important than the Impala! Thanks for another fantastic story - looking forward to number 51 and beyond, Justine BTW you asked if that was me that emailed during Here At... I've been back and looked at it and though I have no recollection of posting it, it sure sounds like me! And I really did love that one - still my absolute favourite story on this whole site.
Author's Response: Hi, Justine, I did get that glass of wine, actually. They did it differently to what I expected - we sat at tables and the guests sat with us for about ten minutes at a time. And Jim sang to us! He found out that six of the eight people at the table were from Brisbane, and remembered an old song that mentioned Brisbane Waters, so he sang a little verse to us. He's awesome - I'm so glad we went for VIP tickets this time around. Oh, it was hard staying spoiler-free, I can tell you. My little SN discussion group was going nuts with their spoiler clips and episode discussions, and I was going nuts just flicking the unread emails into a folder while I slaved away on this story - LOL. Aw, thank you so much! I think I'm still in shock over the finale, actually. I thought that there would be a last minute save or another way out - certainly didn't expect Sam to make the ultimate sacrifice. And damn it, I wanted a better end for him and Dean! I wanted the "We've got work to do", followed by jumping into the Impala to ride off into the sunset!!!!! So this was like a little balm to my poor battered soul, even though I hadn't even seen any hints of what was to come when I wrote the epilogue. And I'm with you - I'm hoping for a return to them working together as a team for next season. We've seen them fractured apart for too long. Thank you, hun - oh, and it wasn't you who emailed Petra and me - I found the email the other evening in my folder. But thank you for loving Here At - man, that was a lot of hard work - lol. We practically sweated blood over that story, but it was worth it. The muse is on holiday at the moment, but as soon as she comes back, I'm going to make her help me finish off story number 51.
Take care, Jules
