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.

Wow!  Shocking statement to end with!

Author's Response: I like shocking. *evil cackle* I like playing with Dean's mind as well. Yeah... a little evil but bah! lol

Dean's avoidance of retelling his dream was perfect Dean Winchester! 

"When you were a Winchester, it seemed anything bad was possible"---isn't that the truth!

 



Author's Response: HI!!! Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying going through these reviews, it's such a confidence boost and I really love it!!!

So much happening.  I can't read fast enough.  I was hoping that Sam wouldn't shoot in the stomach, but it makes for a better story.

Author's Response: I'm a really slow reader... yeah, I'm a seeeeeriously slow reader. :D Anyway - yeah, more Dean pain!

I like your observation of time.  It's so true.

The bike riding memory was nice.  I like that you add those personal, normal things into your story.



Author's Response:

Time is amazing and so bleeding annoying, there's never enough of it. :)

And the bije riding memory... I love adding little tidbits from the past, like you say, makes it a little more personal. :) Thanks!

Wow!  So completely unexpected!  Those demons go to a lot of fuss for one Winchester!  They're like the A-Team.

Author's Response: Lol - the D-team!!! Sorry... I just like your idea they could get their own spin off and everything.

Of all the names to choose for your villainess, you chose the only one that would send Dean for a loop.

So, will we find out what's so wrong about Dean's stomach?  Is it magically healed?



Author's Response:

I suddenly discovered looking back that she didn't have one and I dunno... Mary just sounded so.... right >:D and evil!!!

As for Dean's stomach... oops, I really think I forgot to cover this later on, even though I probably swear I'd give answers - so I'll tell you now. It was because of Nex... because part of Nex was working it's 'magic' on Dean, fixing him getting him ready... I hope that's an okay explanation :)

Kill them both!  Who both?!  Not Sam and Dean or Sam and Bobby.  Too much suspense!

Author's Response: Sam and Bobby... though if Dean's a bad boy... he he! :D

 
Reviewer: Shannondoah Signed

My two favorite parts are when Sam goes in guns blazing just like Dean would have and also when Sam says Dean's name and feels the need to say it as much as possible.  The emotions in those two examples are powerful!

If I were stalking Dean I'd definitely make the shower a priority!



Author's Response:

I like it when Sam can take control too :D And I also like it when Sam shows how much he loves Dean. I love Sam! Sam's great!

And Dean + shower = me wanna be there.  We've seen one show scene with him that I can think of and we got to see his head in a towel and that's it... Sam on the other hand... grrr... >:)

I think poor Dean gets handcuffed more by Sammy then by the cops and bimbos put together.

Nex sounds intriguing.  I'm interested to know more!



Author's Response:

But handcuffs are fun! >:)

And Nex was fun... kinda, lol. Annoying and fun!

Oh, I love the pitiful, broken Dean almost as much as the kick-ass Dean.  You keep the characters diverse and human, which is wonderful!

Author's Response:

THANK YOU! The reason that's in capitals is because I'm in a debate over on supernatural.tv about characters being real more than ideal. I like real and human :D

So thank you! And I always feel dead guilty for making Dean like that, bless him.

This isn't going where I thought it would---an unexpected delight.  I'm really loving this story!  Great job!

Author's Response: Ooo - I wonder where you thought it'd go... I know for a fact it definately didn't go where I thought it would and I wrote the bleeding thing. It was weird, at first I'd plan a few chapters a head but it's twist in a totally different way so I ended up scrapping a lot. lol - But thank you! I'm glad you like this!

I love the poems!  Very mysterious and creepy.

This just keeps getting better.  Every time I think you've reached the top you go higher.



Author's Response:

I like poetry... I love it.

And thank you! I'm so glad you're not bored of this yet!!!!!!!! :D

Oh no!  Not the knife!  Maybe he'll use it on himself to try to vanquish Nex?  What do you have planned for him?

Author's Response: Not this time around but hmmm.... still more to come :D

Oh my stars!  Too busy reading to write anything else!

Claim humans as pets---good line.

I did think you would kill Dean or at least mortally wound him, but miraculously resurrect him. 

It's funny how the yellow-eyed demon pops up to aid the Winchesters.  'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.'



Author's Response:

Can you imagine how fun it would be to have you're own pet human? Oh wait... they're called children, aren't they? Damn... someone beat me to it.

I can't kill Dean! Well actually past writings has taught me I can but no more! I cannot kill him again! :)

And how true that phrase it, it's wonderful!

The explanation Dean gave Sam about the importance of the dagger was very good, made sense to me.  I hadn't thought of it in that way.

Author's Response: Thank you. I'm glad it made sense. I wanted to explain that part ages ago about him feeling he'd lost something... and it being the dagger, felt it needed more ... I dunno the word, lol. So thanks!

Don't be iffy about this chapter---it's incredible!  And so is the banner.  I ususally read stories with banners first because they catch my eye.  Nothing grabs my attention like a photo of Dean.  And the words are cryptic enough to spark curiosity. 

I love Bobby---he's so dry.  He has the whole dead-pan thing down to an art!

The revelation that John did exactly what the demon and Nex wanted him to do is brilliant!  Hadn't thought of that.

 



Author's Response:

Thank you! And I miss banner making :( *sniffles* I miss loads of things since starting Uni. I'm always happiest when making something, whether writing, drawing... or playing with pc programs :D

I have a veeery dry sense of humour. I'm a little sick and twisted and I love adding the dry humour to stories. Plus Bobby is just so brilliant! Kripke and the writers have done an amazing job with the characters that I really like borrowing.

You've captured Bobby as well as the Winchesters!  Excellent job!

Uh oh, there's that pesky tension build up again.



Author's Response: Thank you! I think when writing fanfictions that's one of the best compliments to receive. :)

Nice line from Folsom Prison Blues.  You're sneaky!

Love the "it's all bad cops here!"  Bobby so rocks!

Another great cliffhanger!  Woohoo!

 



Author's Response:

He he - I can't help it, certain lines stick out at me and make there way into my writing. It's the writers fault! :)

The cop line... I've no idea where that came from but it really worked and I'm glad I gave it Bobby 'cause like you say, he totally rocks!!!

On a side note - I'm a sugar high and I'm really bouncy!

Once again---yay Bobby!

Boy, you've created one heck of an irritating villain with Nex.  he's not only evil, he's annoying. 



Author's Response:

I've noticed that Bobby is right up there with the Winchesters, lol... Aww bless him, he's brill.

And Nex... you gotta have an annoying one! lol

Ooohhh!  What a spooky nursery rhyme!  You put the Grimm Brothers to shame.

This is too good!  Part of Nex has possessed five different people?  I know, keep reading and find out.



Author's Response:

I was really bored at work, made it up and decided... ooh, I need to include this, lol.

Not so much possessed five different people, he was split into five and they ended up being seperated... all finding their way to Dean >:)

 
Reviewer: Shannondoah Signed
Date: 08/10/07 Title: Chapter 38: Thou Shalt Not Kill

No!  Yes!  What?!  Is all of Nex in Mary? Aghh!  What just happened?

Author's Response: Lol. Yeah, all of Nex went into Mary.

NO Dean!  Love Bobby's comment that Dean needs to learn when he needs to be saved.  Also love Sam's thought about Bobby being the one who taught Dean to kick in doors.

Author's Response: Thank you! Again, Bobby has the best lines, lol... okay, some of the best.

Date: 08/10/07 Title: Chapter 40: There's a thin line between right and wrong...

Well, now at least we know how to kill Nex.  And if it means also killing a person, Dean's the one to kill.  The man has more lives than a cat.  But I'm certain you'll have a clever way to save him.

Author's Response:

He he - good news... we can kill Nex.... bad news - means we gotta kill Dean too >:)

Can you imagine Dean as a cat? That's the type of kitty I'd take home with me, bless.

I think I've lost count of all the little surprises and twists you've popped on me.  Amazing job!

Author's Response: Thank you! Very twisty story, lol - comes from only knowing the bare mininal of the plot and just making stuff up as I go along.
