I've been hooked on Supernatural from the pilot episode. I've always liked horror.  Give me the good old fashioned goosebumps on your skin, lock the door of your car, afraid to go into your house kind of terror.  And Supernatural gives me a weekly booster shot.

I started writing with the encouragement (and nagging) of ShinyWinchesterGun. My second story became part of series thanks to the support (and threats) of other new-found friends on the site, Glyconut and Synera.

But I think my real passion is reading.  There are so many amazing stories!  And I leave a review for every chapter I read.  The author has put so much of herself/himself into that chapter that I feel it's only fair to reward their good work.  I believe reviews help writers to progress, give encouragement, and determine our Top Tens.    

The great thing I've found on this site as opposed to other sites I've visited, is that the people here truly care about each other. They lend support, ideas and kicks in the pants when you need it. I've made lasting friends of all ages and from nearly every continent here. This is my online home.

 

I'm honored and thrilled to have been voted the Runner Up in 2009 UnGen awards.  Thanks to everyone who gave me a try and read one of my stories.

"And Sam was tired of watching Dean crumble beneath the weight of their father's love."  Such a powerful line!  I had to stop and ponder everything that implied.

Oh no!  Mellie's stepping up her game and Dean's the pawn.

One minute I hate John enough to spit on him and the next I feel sorry for him.  Would you make up my mind?

You are so clever and tricky.  I guessed that Sam's new, improved abilities were somehow linked to the Asura---I just couldnt figure out how it happened.  It makes perfect sense now that you explain it.

I can't really blame Mellie and Marci for wanting Dean---what woman wouldn't?  It's just creepy having him felt up by a spirit.  Sam must save him now or he'll become psycho Barbie's boy toy.

Geez, I read the last four chapters so quickly my eyes hurt.  I feel like I've just run a marathon, but now I'm happy and calm.

At least until tomorrow when I tackle another of your masterpieces.  ;-)

A very good story!  I love Dean's hope and sadness.  My favorite part is when he remembers Sam crawling away from him and looking over his shoulder inviting him to follow.

Great job!  You expressed Dean's anguish so perfectly.  "doesn't he know that it would end two?" and "without him there is no me," are very powerful lines.

I'm new to this site, but your story has made me a regular.  Right from the first paragraph I was hooked!  Your word pictures are incredible!  Your style flows so easily.  I especially love how you manage to  express the thoughts and emotions of your characters without distracting from the momentum of the plot.  Their movements and expressions are so clear it's like watching a movie in my head.

Thank you for sharing your craft with others!

*blushes outrageously*  I'm speechless!  But, thanks...I'm also very happy you've been enjoying this.  There is no better reward for doing this than knowing I'm doing a good job of entertaining someone.

Thanks for your kind words.

Amazing!  Incredible!  Marvelous!  I couldn't read fast enough.  Everything about this chapter is perfect!  Until I finished reading I didn't realize I had been tightly gripping the arms of my chair the entire time.  I kept checking the space bar on the side to see how much  story was left---afraid it was going to end too soon.  I can't wait for the next instalment.  PLEASE POST IT SOON!

Author's Response:

Whoa! I'm very humbled and a lot into the blushing.  Are you sure you clicked the right review button?  Lol, kidding.  And thank you so much for your kind review!

Yay another chapter!  I'm like a man spying an oasis after crossing the dessert.  Ahhh, cool, sweet fanfiction!  It was worth the wait.

 



Author's Response:

Oooo, thanks! Yeah, it was a desert there for a while. It was nice to get this one finished and posted, a good feeling to get it accomplished. I have to say, I'm big-time relieved it was worth the extended absence.

"you look like death warmed over---tiwce."

The description of what Dean heard while his eyes were covered was ingenius!

Okay, so now we know that plan A isn't going to work.  It never does, not with the Winchester luck.

Your psychological episodes are thrilling!  I love to feel what the characters are feeling, think what they are thinking.  You've done an amazing job!  Thanks!



Author's Response:

The fact that you can "feel" the story is a truly awesome compliment, thank you! That's what I always hope to hear because a story is best when you are drawn into it. I love reading when I'm so deep into it that I can feel the emotion or whatever.

Thanks for that. I'm a happy, smiling fool now :)

The description of the familiar smells in Bobby's house was very good, exactly what I've always thought.

Great end to a marvelous chapter!  Interested in what ends will be tied up in the epilogue.



Author's Response:

Yeah, I figure Bobby's house must smell a whole lot like my dad's garage...only with a crap-load of books, lol!

Thank you, Shannondoah, I appreciate the feedback. LOVES the feedback ;)

the exchange between Sam and Dean in the car when they firs arrive at the Winchester mansion is incredibly detailed.  Not only can I picture what's happening in my head, but I can feel the grief and guilt.  Sam's comparison of Dean's resemblance to their parents was an endearing passage. Simply amazing!

I enjoyed the love scene, especially because Dean separated love from sex.  Whether he knew it or not, he loved Hannah purely, wanting what was best for her even if it denied himself.  That is true love!  Your expression of it through Dean was exquisite!



Author's Response:

Thank you!!! I worked so hard on this story and it feels so good to know someone has enjoyed it. Thank you so much for letting me know. Your words mean a lot to me. Sorry for the slow response, I've been gone a lot lately.

*hugs*

I like that you wrote this in the first person account of Sam.  I also like that you stressed the reason why Sam prays so faithfully.  At first we believe it's just to get him through the tough life he has, but in the end we discover it's to save his brother.

Sam and Kerri playing house in front of Dean....hmmm...Does Dean know what he's getting himself into?  this looks like the beginning of a lot of trouble.
