I make my home in a small little house in upstate New York. It's not much, but it's mine and that's what matters.  By day you'll find me toiling away at a hospital as a secretary.  By night, I'm a writer. My secret life if you will.

While Supernatural is my current favorite obsession, I enjoy writing for several different fandoms--Emergency, Starsky & Hutch, and the Leandros Bros. books by Rob Thurman. I'm also a published author, having two books of poetry ("Doorway to a Soul" and "In the Quiet Stillness") out there.

I love to make friends and meet new people.  Supernaturalville has provided an incredible opportunity to do just that and it's been a blast.  Writing and reading fanfic is really one life's great pleasures.

I'm typically not a fan of fanfic romances, which is weird 'cause I former devotee to Harlequin & Sillouhette, but I'm really enjoying this story.  Nice update and I can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: I don't normally like fanfic romances either, so it's funny that I'm writing this.  It all started with a dream I had.  Glad you're giving it a chance!

Nice to see you here, Sue.  I really enjoyed this tag to Faith.

Author's Response:

Thanks, Vanessa. Faith is one of my favorite first season episodes, so it seemed a good place to start.

Yep, you know I love it already, Jude!  Can't wait for more!

Date: 04/10/07 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 The Scarlet Letter

OMG!  This is so funny.  Upsetting for Dean sure, but funny all the same.  Poor Metallicar--abandoned?  Never!  I ADORE the line (and idea) about Dean "pacing in place".  I can actually see that.  May I use that some time? 

Author's Response:

of course you can,  Vanessa...........I was rather pleased with that phrase, myself

I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far....

Dean noticed ‘it’ was grinning at him.

hahahaha - I loved that line.  And--ouch--on the wooden spoon on the knees.  :-)

I'm lovin' my story.



Author's Response:

and sooo YOUR spoon makes it initial appearance, my dear..............it's future remains to be seen......

as does poor Dean's and Metallicar's......

Vanessa, glad you are enjoying Your own little Halloween Horror Story...!!!

OMG!  You mutilated Dean's BUTT??  LOL  Umm--ouch!  I can just hear the grunting and groaning now.

I love your update. 



Author's Response: So very happy you like YOUR story, Vanessa.......next comes doggie dealings ....and then ch 6 .......Ta da!!!! The Return of the Dreaded SPOON.........

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed
Date: 13/10/07 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Crushing My Love!

Yup, I wanted angst, Hurt!Dean--with grunting, groaning, and moaning--oh and a back arch or two.  Dean finding a creative use for a spoon.  And Sam leaving a bloody handprint somewhere.  LOL  I've got a weird, weird mind.  And I'm so very glad YOU don't mind that, Jude.


Author's Response:

ooo, forgot the bloody handprint........... probably Ch 8 or 9...........

Glad you seem content so far, Vanessa.....should see next chapter on Thursday..... and actually the weird mind is very atuned with mine.....have had many friends astounded by my rather bloody weird Mesmerized..........I guess grannies aren't supposed to think like that!!!

Happy I am indeed.  LOVE this new chapter!  Throbbing Dean head, throbbing Dean ass.  What more can a girl ask for?  Well, knowing me a LOT more.  LOL



Author's Response:

Awwww....... Vanessa, you make feel me feel so good ...........Thanks

I'm so happy you're enjoying it...It's been a lot of fun to write for you...

Gosh, this is an absolutely fantastic update, Jude.  I loved every minute of reading this.  You've answered every bit of my challenge.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

I love it that little things are starting to wear on Dean--the blood loss, the cold, etc.  He's gonna be hurting soon (more than he already is, I mean).



Author's Response:

Vanessa ...you sadistic little minx, you........

are you waiting for him to fall over...?? Glad it is making you sooo happy

Me a sadistic little minx???  (((insert big innocent puppy dog eyes here)))  Nahhhhhh!  (Yeah, right--I am so lying here.  LOL LOL)

are you waiting for him to fall over...??

You betcha I am.  I very much looooooove it when he pushes and pushes himself to the limit and then crashes.

***GASP***  You wicked thing you, you're leaving me hanging!!!  LOL  Oh, you hooked me all over again when Dean started to feel woozy, queasy, and even had the crazy heartbeat.  ((((sigh))))  And him passing out-----------love it.

Loved this line:  More like an avenging madman!

Superb update, my dear.



Author's Response:

Oh....so I was losing you, Vanessa.....guess that means you'll miss the clean-up and repairs.... 

I liked that line too...thank you

Losing me?????  Ha!  Not a chance, Miss Lady (as my mother used to call me).  That could just never, ever happen.  You just bewitched me all over again with woozy Dean.

And I almost always forget to leave STARS for people when I review.  I don't do that to be mean.  Just too anxious to hit the submit button.  Soooooo . . . I'm leaving you stars this time.  :-)



Author's Response:

ooohh, vanessa ....you have me seeing STARS now....thank you, thank you...

Got worried you meant you were losing interest in the story.....

Date: 03/11/07 Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 I've Got You, Babe!!

Yay!!! They liberated the Impala.  Woooo hoooo!  Is it really bad that I was sad Dean had to wake up so soon.  lol

I really like Stan; he's quite a kid.  Would love to see him make a reappearance some day.

Can't wait for the next chapter when Sammy gets to see how beat up Dean is.  Looking forward to all that brotherly love and hurt/comfort.



Author's Response:

Vanessa....guess this means you REALLY like YOUR story............Can't begin to tell you how much I'm enjoying your response to each chapter.....

Oh yeah Sammy will have to look



Author's Response: sorry, Vanessa, meant to say thanks for all those gorgeous stars

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 08/11/07 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 We Meet Again!!

YAY!!  You worked in my bloody handprint!  I had fun thiinking up a list of "items" to see in my story and you've done an absolute superb job of incorporating them.  I only hope that you had as much fun writing my story as I have had reading it!

I love anesthetized Dean.  His uninhibited "Love you so much, Sammeeee" was incredibly sweet.  So next Gran will be patching him up.  Ya know, some people might think a butt wound is nuthin'--no big deal--but seriously, you know that has to hurt so very much!  ((sigh))  And just think how much stitches hurt anyway and then to have to sit on 'em.  Oooohhh, poor Dean.  :-)  With all that dirt and oil too that's likely gotten into the wounds, he's just not gonna be a happy camper for awhile. 

Did I mention how much I love my story?  'cause I do.

Looking forward to the wrap up.  Even if I am sad to see it come to an end.



Author's Response:

Yeah, i agree....no fun to butt wounds....no way to get comfy......been there...

Vanessa, you have no idea how much i've enjoyed writing this for you....I was terrified I would disappoint you......I AM SO PLEASED THAT I MADE YOU SO HAPPY!!!!!   I had such fun making sure I covered your specifications......hope Mom enjoys it as well...........thanks for my stars.......    :0)   jude

 
Reviewer: Vanessa Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: 10/11/07 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11 An Absolute Perfect End

Okay, I seriously loved it, Jude.  A wonderful conclusion to a fantastic story.  I loved how you made Dean so sweet toward Gran--worrying about the mess he was making, etc.  I think under his gruff exterior, he really does have the potential to be that sweet.

Oh--and that shower scene?  When Gran threw open the door and they both ended up embarrassed--PRICELESS!  Loved Gran secretly admiring Dean's "attributes".  hehe

And, lest I forget, I loved Sam's tenderness and concern for his brother here too.  For as much as I love Hurt!Dean, Sick!Dean, it's not nearly as fun without Sammy there to worry, comfort, and take care of him.

I humbly thank you for writing me such a terrific story.  I gained so much at KazCon.



Author's Response:

Vanessa, you just seriously brought tears to my eyes....... Thank you.....

I wanted so badly to please you with this tale.................. now I may rest easy knowing I completed my mission (with much love)..........Thank you for the stars as well.......

Okay, kid, one co-write coming onboard      .....     :0)    jude

 
Summary:

Dean always thought of himself as ‘slightly stupid’; just smart enough to get the job done, just dumb enough to have to work at it.  Sam, on the other hand, well he was the smart brother, no if, and, or but, about it. 

 

A hunt for a Chupacabra goes bad.
