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.

I like the line Dean uses, "your dad said I couldn't cut holes in the floor."  I can picture a young Dean and young Kerri devising intricate traps for bad guys.  Too funny!

I also like the line Sam uses on his Dean that his ideas generally suck.

After reading previous stories in this series, I'm so sad about Evelyn and Tom.  In the first story I wasn't emotionally invested, but now I am.  Evelyn was just like Sam, but she changed, her family changed.  It's sad.

Dean and Sam's reaction to Kerri in a cocktail dress is great! 

I like Dean's idea of plan B---shooting the millionaire.

I'm surprised Dean tried the drainpipe with his rat phobia.  He must have been desperate.

Geez, you're really mixing up the pot, adding lots of interesting bits!  This is turning out to be quite an adventure.

I hope Dean gets out of the walls soon.  It's very funny, but I think Kerri is going to need his help soon.

Great balance of suspense and humor!

So glad Dean isn't claustrophobic!

That was a close call for Kerri.  Luckily the effects seem to be temporary.  but I know how evil you are and she's not out of the woods.

It seems the Winchester luck is still holding.  First Dean is stuck in a wall for hours then the painting is fireproof.  Only 173 years of bad luck to go.

Incredible!  So now we know how Bramhurst keeps the girls alive for so long---and the cure to Kerri's condition.

Inventive comment about squirrels---never thought of them like that before.  Probably never think of them the same again.

Good to see the joking back.  Now we know they're going to kick demon ass.

Wow!  Incredible!!  I'm so tense I can't stand it!  Bramhurst not only gets eternal youth, but talent as well.  Yahtzee!

It's been a rough day so I decided to comfort myself with one of my favorite drugs---your story.  It's still great the second time around!

The dialogue between the brothers is so natural---their joking, their concern.  You do a good job portraying their personalities.

What a cute story!  You know Dean would do something special for his little brother on his birthday.  I like the repetition of "it's the 2nd of May."

OMG---hilarious!  By the way, what was the name of that medication?

Author's Response: Antibiotic - something-or-other - can't remember...lol. Must have been good stuff. Because I just shot this out in one afternoon - I really have no idea where it came from. Thanks for reading - and reviewing...Jules

Excellent chapter!  You capture the complex moods of the Winchester's very well.  I like the way their thoughts explain their relaitonship. 

Great line! "Dean wasn't a praying man, but he turned into one right in the middle of that street."  It was so strong it just caught me.

How funny, Dean says he's not a religious man, doesn't believe in Him and then thinks God-knows what condition Sam is in.  Sounds to me like he doesn't realize what a believer he is.



Author's Response:

Thanks Shannondoah!

I am so happy that you liked that line. I also think it was very strong and something that defines Dean. And you're right, I don't think Dean realizes what a believer he is. Someone needs to knock some sense into that boy!

Cool---a Supernatural Christmas Carol!  this should be great!

Author's Response:

Thanks again Shannondoah!

I've always loved A Christmas Carol when I was little and I figured I would add a Supernatural twist to it. I'm so happy you like it!

Gotta love a good person like Alicia Gibbons.  I wish there were more people like her.

The flashbacks are nice.  I like catching a glimpse of the boys growing up.

Hmmm...Dean without Sam?  This should be good!

What a pitiful childhood.  Poor Dean.  I'd never given any thought to what would happen to him without Sam before.  Very creative!

Jess!  Wow!



Author's Response:

Thanks again, Shannondoah!

One reason I really loved writing this story was because it allowed me to be very creative with the boys and their childhood so I'm glad to see you appreciate and like what I've done!

And yep...Jess!

 
Reviewer: Shannondoah Signed

I'm glad Jess is helping Sam to realize her death wasn't his fault.  He's felt guilty about something he could not have prevented.

In just a few short sentences you described grief so well.  Many years ago I lost the man I was going to marry.  I felt exactly how you described Sam's feelings.  You've done well with this chapter!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much, Shannondoah!

This review just literally gave me chills. The fact that you can relate to how Sam felt just leaves me speechless. I just wrote that from the heart and I'm glad to see it conveyed well to you.

 
Reviewer: Shannondoah Signed

I like that you keep us in touch with what's happening to both boys.  Although Sam's on the journey Dean is on one of his own, parallel to Sam's.  Nice writing technique!

Author's Response:

Thanks Shannondoah!

I figured Sam shouldn't be the only one who goes on a "journey"...I wanted his mom to show his Sam was just as scared as he was when he went off to school.

Glad you're liking it!

Yay Bobby!  Who doesn't love Bobby?  He's so solid and constant.

So Dean becomes an even more obsessed John Winchester?  Too bad.  But it makes for an entertaining story!



Author's Response:

Thanks Shannondoah!

Yes, who doesn't love Bobby? The man makes me smile every time I see him!

And yep, Dean's even worse than John...just when you thought it wasn't possible!
