Hi

Well, I figured it was time I put something up on my profile...

My name is Jane I live and work in the UK just outside London, in Essex. I'm a 45 year old mum to two beautiful teenage daughters. I work term times as a Learning Support Assistant at an adult college, supporting 16 - 19 year old mechanics with both literacy and numeracy - which I have done for the last five years, (I'm getting pretty good at fixing my car by now as a bonus). It is a job which I love dearly. We have an insane border collie called Gypsy and two rabbits and three guinea pigs.

Before becoming a mum, I spent fourteen years in the British Womens Royal Naval Service as a communicator (Radio Operator), where I met and married my soon to be ex-husband. I loved every moment of my naval career and it gave me the opportunity to try many wonderful and exciting activities (rifle shooting, abseiling, adventure camps, canoeing, orienteering, survival courses, first aid and expedititon leadership to name but a few).

I have been writing Supernatural fiction for about nine months, but have been reading, betaing and reviewing for about a year and a half. I moderate on The Vaults Forum (SPNV) and am an Admin on the Everything Supernatural Forum, where I can be found under my other pename IMPALADREAMS.  I have many stories in the pipeline but time constraints, as ever, get in the way. They will all, hopefully, get finished eventually.

Writing is something I have always wanted to do, but until I discovered the world of Supernatural and fanfiction I have never had the confidence to go ahead and just do it. However, it has become a very important part of my life and I have made some wonderful friends through it - you know who you are guys!!  This wonderful Winchester World that we play in is one of my favourite forms of escapism, and both reading and writing in it has helped me through some really rough times over the last year or so. 

I meet up about 4/5 times a year with a small group of similarly obsessed Supernatural fans at the Hilton Paddington.  We get together for laptop screensaver idolisation, general lusting over the boys (Dean in particular), quizzes/competitions and total Supernatural Saturation.  It's great fun and if anyone is living in the UK or visiting at the time of our meets (dates posted up on the Vaults) we would love to see you there.  It's small, friendly and great fun. 

I am totally devoted to Supernatural (even when the story arc is getting so dark) and I love both the boys, but am definately a Dean girl. I love reading and writing hurt, angsty Dean and caring, sharing Sam.

I co-wrote The Twelve Saves of Christmas - which was posted on here by birdie. We are currently working on the follow on story (a much darker fic) entitled, To My Brother I Am Bound.   I have recently joined the E/O drabble challenge over on Fanfiction and am discovering a whole new way of writing.

So that's about it for starters. Thanks for reading. Jane

by bulletbabe

Thank you Lou for my beautiful banner. I think you know how much it means to me. xx 

This is darker faire (bring a torch to light your way!) than my usual writing and may not be to your taste. It is rated M for theme and language and to all you Sammy girls - Mea Culpa!

Thanks as always to Kirsty for beta-ing me and to many friends for advice and help with this one. Special particular thanks to Jane for your invaluable help without which it might never have got to here (oh and i'l put pirates in the next one!).

And to Kripke - thank you for letting  me play a little with your beautiful boys.

To those who voted for my story in the Ungen awards...Thank you, you made my day!

Amplify by Taiven Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 7]
Summary:

While investigating a violent haunting of a small town in Massachusetts, the Winchester boys suddenly become tangled in a horrific tale centuries old. Both men must try to unravel the mystery surrounding a witch that lived in the year 1689, a time in American history that was full of overwhelming chaos and terrible deceit. However, while Sam uses the stories and legends of the witch in the present to determine what really occurred all those years ago, Dean finds himself smack in the middle of the story. Dragged into a past festering with deception, lies, and twisted stories, he struggles to survive as he must escape a fate he could never have imagined.

Jay’s back, and with her sights set on a new prize this time.  If you thought she was Desperately Seeking Sammy, wait until she goes after Dean.

banner

Totally amazing banner by Bulletbabe!  She is a goddess among women!

And thanks to Sabine, I couldn't have done this without you!

Honestly not sure if you need to read Desperately Seeking Sammy or not, but it will definitely help. I’ll be winging it with this one just like I did with that one, so I’m really not sure how much detail I’ll be pulling forward from it.

Set immediately after Faith, so spoilers for both Scarecrow and Faith (My all time fav epi, I may add), but I'm sure there isn't anyone out there that hasn't seen then, right? Wait, let me rephrae that. Possible spoilers for episodes 1-12 may apply.

Let me just say also that I own nothing Supernatural, it belongs entirely to the incredibly marvelous Eric Kripke.  However, if I did, not a soul on earth would ever see the likes of Dean and Sam again, because they would be permanently hidden away from the world and I would not share them with anyone, ever!.  Let's face it, I'm a take my ball and go home kind of gal.

Dean sat on his own bed and stared at the wall for hours, then put his face in his hands and sat like that for the rest of the night. Sam thought he heard him crying for a long time.

Sam hated that he couldn't get over his fear. He hated that he had nightmares. He hated that he was scaring Dean.

Sam hated himself for his weakness.
