Date: 05/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Really enjoyed this chapter- nice touch with it being Dean's nightmare! I like the way you get the brother's behaviour towards eah other. Also liked the bloodsucking vampire dot. Summary:
Making a deal with a Demon can be an unseemly business. Especially when you discover that the deal you've made has endangered your sons in ways you hadn't foreseen. Now they've grown up apart and unaware and things need to be set right. General AU oddness.

Date: 04/03/07 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue I don't often read AU stories, but I really enjoyed this one! It kept me hovering around the different sites hoping for updates. Thanks Author's Response: ...And I'm so very slow at updating, too! Got there in the end though! Thanks for taking the time to give my AU a try! I only really read Ridley James' AUs, but I seem to keep writing them! Summary:
"His family had split down their own stubborn paths, and within the same day, alone, they had been struck down. Dean didn’t know how to pick up the pieces. He didn’t know how to bring everything back around…or if that was even possible now…" Pre-series: Sam never made it to the bus heading for California. The Yellow-eyed Demon steps in early. "You’re witness to things as they should be.” Banner by Kira Reed

I was really wrapped up in this story and patiently waited for updates when I saw it on the supernatural fiction forum. I didn't review it at the time as I was a confirmed lurker and very nervous! It is a great story. I really liked the way you kept the direction of season 1 within your alternate events.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, alena! I am somewhat a lurker too, so no worries. I'm just glad you finally came out and said 'hello'! Hope to see you around. Take care! -SJ Summary:
Somewhere in Colorado, children from 3 families have gone missing, can the boys find out what’s going on before forgotten memories come back to haunt them, more specifically – Dean.

Date: 25/05/07 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Hi, I decided to wait until the story was finished before reviewing, then couldn't stop reading it. I really enjoyed it- loved the brotherly interactions and comments. I also liked the ghost twist. Author's Response: Hi Alena ~ Gosh, you couldnt stop reading? That's the best thing an author can hope to hear! *G* I'm so glad you enjoyed this story, and that the ghost twist worked for you, too. LOL, I had no idea Darlene *was* a ghost until the story moved further along. Thank you again for reading and leaving such lovely comments. :-) Summary:

Date: 08/10/07 Title: Chapter 5: You will never know if you are quick, until you poke a mountain lion with a stick….. I've got as far as chapter 5 now! Great descritption of Dean and then Sam realising that Dean's become a mountain lion and only Sam could get away with calling Dean Buttercup! The fight scene between Dean and the cougar was terrific- Looking forward to the next chapters! Author's Response: Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy the rest. Laura

Date: 30/10/07 Title: Chapter 13: Not a hunt…More like a chance encounter… Finally finished reading this- so sad its over! I really enjoyed the story-waiting for Dean's next change and poor Sam's see-sawing emotions. Nice way to finish back at the fair, I did a double take at first but it was great. I'm glad Dean found a way round Sam's "arrangement" with the trickster Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Laura Summary: Nothing is ever easy for the Winchester boys. Dean is trapped and Sam must race against time to save him before it's too late.

Date: 31/08/07 Title: Chapter 1: Thunder and Lightening: Very, Very Frightening I've just found this story and I'm really enjoying it! I loved the Wizard of Oz/ Kansas references and Dean's rambles about The Big Valley- looking forward to the next chapter! Thanks so much for the review! I'm so glad that you are liking it so far - I'll be really interested to hear how you feel about it as it progresses... Can't seem to keep away from the Wizard of Oz ref's - they're just a natural! I was a little worried that the Big Valley reference would be too obscure, but apparently a lot of us are fans of it too!

Date: 09/09/07 Title: Chapter 5: I Want to Break Free I'm slowly catching up with this story. It's great fun, but my job keeps interfering with my reading time!! I'm glad Dean is finally out from under that house.I liked Dean's grudging admission about the magnetic keys and Sam's reaction to his brother's "I'm fine"-ignoring it. Author's Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to review! It really means a lot to me. I know how hard it can be just to find time to read, let alone review! Dean's out from under the house, but far from out of the woods!

Date: 22/09/07 Title: Chapter 8: We Will Rock You Great to see another chapter! I'm really enjoying this story. I like the way the brothers can read each other so well. Great to see de-housed Dean up and about though thoroughly battered. I'm really looking forward to finding out more about the two ghosts Summary:
If Bobby’s contact was right, they would get their hands on a powerful weapon that might just tip the balance of this war. Bobby’s contact was very wrong.

Date: 22/06/08 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Pen mightier than the sword. I really enjoyed this Louy. I liked the way you built up the tension and sustained it across the whole story with little pauses to regain breath. The first chapter's cliffie with the prospect of BBQ'd Dean was a real nail biter. I could see Dean pulling off the disguise- he can be a real chamelion when he wants to be (he wouldn't survive the "family business" otherwise). I really liked the way you built up the tension around the book and its significance. The snippets of Dean's losses- home, normal, Sam to Stanford, as the demon goes in for its attack on him were a definite touch of something in my eye and nicely played out. Nice touch with tricky Sam using big brother instinct to reach Dean after the attack! You've got the characters so well. The angst, brotherly fights and tensions, their underlying affection and inability to just talk to each other, while bobby rings true for his paternal attitude to the brothers and his ability to guide and support them when needed. I've got to go and read the rest in this series now- thanks for a great read, Alison Summary:
Finding themselves caught up in the middle of a long standing feud, Sam and Dean find it hard to tell just who the bad guys are.

Date: 19/05/08 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Of pickles and pies Hi there Louy, I've made a start on this and so glad I did! The opening description of Bonnie was well done moving from the ultra "nice" to very disturbing as was the gradual reveal of her cellar guest. You've got the brothers down pat. Their characters rang so true and I loved Dean's parting shot about adoption! Two very different, but equally daunting OAP's in one story- now that's quite a twofer! It's a grewat story and a relief amid all the season finale woe. On to chapter 2... Alison Author's Response: ALISON!!! It's always such a blast to get a review from someone I know in person, I'm smiling from ear to ear...lol And I need to say, those cards have come in Soooo useful already with preparations for this W/E...thanks for the heads up on that one...can't wait to see you in London...and thanks for the great review my friend. XX Louy

Date: 19/05/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Sheep in wolf's clothing. Grr! I spent ages writing out a review and then my connection went haywire! Anyway, back to business-another great chapter, Louy. I really enjoyed reading it. I loved the Dean and knitting-armed wrinklie face off! And Sam's line "Dean. Bro, walk away from the little old lady." is a classic! Miss Jessop is a wonderful character. But I'm glad I don't have to meet her in real life. Bonnie is shaping up to be a really creepy villain. I am so glad that I wasn't eating when I read the eyeball bit! Two very different, but definitely scary OAP's in one story- it's quite a twofer! And then there are two ghosts. The second ghost interested me as he reminded me of Bonnie's "guest" and I'd like to know just what she's up to there. I'm also curious to know more about Miss Jessop's young ghost and why she called in for help when she seems quite happy to have him around. That was really sneaky of you Louy, here I was giggling away at the brothers and you go and throw Dean through a window!!! Hopefully this attempt will post OK (or I'll have to lie down in a dark room and whimper) Alison Author's Response: That happens to me all the time!! lol Bonnie is a creepy villain but you know what?..I have a real soft spot for her...don't know why, just do...lol. And, yeah, I do like throwing Dean through things, Kripke should do that more, rather than just throwing him against the wall all the time...lol Thanks Alison, another great review from you. XX Louy

Date: 20/05/08 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Out of the frying pan and into the fire Another great chapter Louy, I could really sympathise with Sam and his mercy dash to get to Dean. I liked the crowd reactions to Dean's plight and the added urgency of the "help" on its way. Just what they don't need! I think Sam should have taken that picture of Dean. Visiting Bonnie cannot be a good idea! I liked Dean's comments about her chinaware and Sam's eyes. You've got me wondering which of the boys she's got her eyes on- obviously the blood from Dean is ominous, but then she dropped that comment about Sam's hands... I'm glad to see Dean working things out as well as Sam, even if he does end up on the wrong side of a ghost attack. I liked the reference to the boys' understanding that not everything supernatural is necessarily evil. I'm still intrigued by the young ghost and his link to Miss Jessop and she's obviously not in the same league as dear, sweet psychotic Bonnie. Let's hope it's a good sign for the Winchesters. Alison Author's Response: Y'know I just couldn't decide which of the two boy's she'd be after, and then I thought...I'd be after them both if it was me, so...lol Guess I'm gonna turn into a Bonnie Francis when I'm older huh? hehehe Thanks again for the great reviews Alison, you always put a smile on my face...XX Louy

Date: 20/05/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Ice cubes and Eskimos I'm stillhaving serious trouble with my internet connection so let's hope this posts OK. Hello again Louy, I liked the way you depict Dean's thought processes and reactions- (they are very Dean) and Miss Jessop is still on form. Bonnie's plans are not sounding good for Dean (or Sam either), but the brothers splitting up is never a good thing and Dean and Roberts are clearly destined for another round. Let's hope it doesn't involve any airborne activities! I enjoyed seeing Sam finally getting "the drop on" Miss Jessop to make her tell him what's going on. It looks as if Dean still needs his wrinklie angel though if Bonnie's plans go ahead. Alison Author's Response: 'His wrinklie angel'...damn, I wish I'd thought of that...lol Great line, and I'm very glad you think the depiction is true to character, that means a lot...Thanks Alison XXX Louy Summary: Just because the Yellow Eyed Demon is dead, doesn’t mean his plans died with him. Other demons can pick up where it left off, fitting all the pieces together for their master plan.

Date: 28/11/07 Title: Chapter 1: My Space Hello there- I'm glad that you've posted this over here now as well. I've really enjoyed the continuation of this story from the initial MySpace starter. I felt that there should have been more attention to the effects of possessed Sam's attacks on Dean in the show and this was an excellent way to do so. I really liked the way you used the Brotherhood characters and universe. Author's Response: Thank you. You are too kind! |
