Beta-reader:

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.

Summary: Kazcon Auction story for Nana56, hope you like it. Multi-chapter. Rising floodwaters trap Sam and an injured (of course) Dean in a house with a kindly woman keeping watch for her long lost son. If you're familiar with my stuff you know what to expect. If you're not, welcome to the world thru my eyes.

Another terrific update, Terry!  I adored the car scene with Sam getting Dean out of the wrecked car.

Author's Response: Ta Vanessa, the car scene was my favorite part.

Wonderful update, as always.  It may have been a BITCH to write, but it was certainly a PLEASURE to read.  :-)  I know I loved it.  And I cannot wait for the next terrific chapter.

Author's Response: I know there's a black cloud hanging over this, I keep losing parts of it just as I'm ready to post!

Oohh, definitely worth the wait.  This was terrific.  You write Dean's seizures and pain so well and so believably, it's astonishing.  And is definitely right up my alley.

Wow--of all the things I expected it wasn't the house coming apart around them.  Another fantastic update, Terry.  I'll wait patiently (well, sorta patiently) for the next update.

Another fantastic chapter, hun.  I've loved every second of this story.

Good luck with your hip surgery!  Good thoughts and prayers sent your way.

Awesome as usual, Terry.  You present so much emotion in your stories.  From Dean's wanting to just float away with the rising water to Emma's death.  It was all incredible.  I've loved every second of reading this story.

I hope things begin to stabilize physically for you.  Will send good thoughts and prayers your way.  (((Hugs)))

OMG!  Holy hell, woman, what are you trying to do to me???  A beautifully written chapter, but that cliffhanger left me speechless and sobbing.

Please, please, please don't prolong the torture.  Update soon.......

OH, and there's no such thing as repetative when it comes to Hurt!Dean and Loving!Protective!Sam.  Not in my mind anyway.  The more the better.

Thank you so much, Terry, for this superb ending to a wonderful story.  I enjoyed every single second I spent reading this treasure.

The scene with the syringe with the mystery substance and Dean's scream of agony stayed with me all day long.

Very nice, Mini.  I think you've captured John very well here.

I love poetry and have done a fair amount of it myself.  Two books worth so far. 



Author's Response:

Thanks! I was hoping to catch John well!!!!!

~Pooka~ :D

Looking forward to the next chapter.  Wonderfully creepy detail in what they were doing to Dean.

Author's Response:

I did research on lobotaomies and this how they used to do them in the late fifties and sixties. It was pretty creepy I must admit. Hopefully the next chapter will be up later today.

Super update.  Glad to see Dean waking up a little, though I'm one of the crazies who loves the Dean torture.  :-)



Author's Response:

You want more torture? Your wish is my command. Well not torture but plenty of hurt and angst.

Ahhhh, I love the brotherly banter.  Very nice.

Author's Response:

I"m glad you liked the banter, I pinched a few lines from some of the episodes. Chapter 13 up soon.

Great update.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

Poor Dean, he's really going through something bad.  And Sam's suffering in his own way too.



Author's Response:

Yeah - they're both going through it, feel quite guilty, - yeah right!

Date: 21/11/07 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Malevolent thoughts

Great update.  It's killing me though that Dean's being so standoffish and cold.  I understand it, but it's killin' me.

Good job, Lou.



Author's Response: There will be much warmth and brotherly love at the end though - you can count on it. Thanks for the R&R V.
