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.

Oohhh, great update, Lou!  Spooky stuff.  Poor Dean.  I can't wait to read the next update.

Author's Response:

Thanks Ness. Damn, even I'm feeling sorry for him at the moment, the poor confused boy...but all will be well...probably.

Fabulous update, Lou.  I enjoyed it very much.  Especially Dean having convulsions in the tub and Sam right there with him handing on tight and comforting him.

Author's Response:

Know what you mean there Ness, both boys all wet and angsty...I'm giving myself a headache just thinking about it...lol

Thanks for the R&R, means the world!

Great update, Lou.  Poor Dean--just figuring out he's possessed and it's already almost too late.  Can't wait to see where this is heading.

Author's Response:

Too late? Well maybe just a little...and I'm afraid it's only gonna get worse for Dean before it gets better... Thanks for the review Ness and hope you had a great Christmas.

Ohhh, no.  The demon's getting the upper hand.  I so didn't want to see that happen.  Wonderful update though, Louy.

Author's Response:

I hereby promise that the demon only has the upper hand for two chapters at the most, then its all Dean fighting back...big time.

Thanks for the review Ness, I always appreciate them.

Holy freakin' cow!  Awesome chapter!  Have I mentioned how much I hate this demon who's possessing Dean's body?????  But now--it's the only thing that can save his life.  Nice work!

Author's Response: Thanks Ness, was worried how this one was going to be recieved, but our lovely boy is back to almost normal by next chapter. Thanks for the review!

Nice chapter, Lou.  I felt so, so bad for Dean.  He was actually sobbing.  And I think in that situation, he absolutely would do so.

Can't wait for more.



Author's Response:

Thanks Ness, I'm so glad you found it believable, have been more than a little worried about these last few chapters, so it's great to hear you think it worked.

Thanks for the review Ness, always means the world coming from you!

My oh my, you have been writing up a storm, haven't you?  This was an awesome update.  You can just feel the weight of Dean's guilt resting on his shoulders.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

Author's Response:

Yeah, I've had a bit of a writing explosion, and there's hopefully more to come...three more days of nothing to do but write, my world is good right now...hehehe

Thanks for the review Ness, hoping to have this story finished within the next week or so, moving on to a few new projects soon. X Louy

Date: 24/01/08 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 This was so not the plan

Fantastic update, Lou.  Loved this chapter.  There's just something about Dean arching in pain that does something to me.  I can't wait for the big finale . . . and for some much needed comfort after the hurt.

Author's Response:

Ohhh, that arching does it for me too...pushes all sorts of buttons...but can't go into it here. This story isn't rated for the comments I could make...lol

Thank you for the review and the lovely stars...X Louy

Incredibly awesome--as I knew it would be.  Thank you for all that back arching.  :-)  Can't wait for the coming chapter (are you sure it's not chapters?) and the comfort that's to come.

Author's Response: Nah, only one chapter, but it's gonna be a bit longer than the others...lol. Thanks so much Ness, but not sure there's anywhere to add 'back arching' in the last one...sorry...lol Thanks for the review and the stars X Louy

Wonderful wrap up to the story, Louy.  I enjoyed it very much and will look forward to the next installment when you get to it.  In the meantime, I'm looking forward to your other projects.



Author's Response:

I couldn't be happier that you enjoyed this Ness, thank you for the review and the stars and I'm so pleased you'll be looking out for the next project because it won't be long coming...X Louy

Author's Response:

Thanks, Vanessa. I got hooked on Bookworm early this year, so I transferred my addiction to Sam;-) and voila! a story is born.

Well, I love the set up so far.  Can't wait to see some Sick!Sammy and Hurt!Dean.

I almost cried at the scene where Dean actually returned Tom's hug and he hugged him hard!  I think my lips were quivering.



Author's Response:

I thought the moment between Dean and Tom was just too good to leave out, kind of sets the next story.  

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  I appreciate it.

After all, how can he make Sammy see the Deal made sence if, behind the mask, Dean himself was still breaking.

Unluckily for the chupacabra Sam was a grouchy bitch, with a deadly shot, even when woken up.

Loved that line.

Also loved "one of those Armageddon looks".  Yup, that's Sammy all right.

Great look at what's going on in Dean's head!



Author's Response:

Thank you!! I was really pleased you liked my version of Sam - I find him more challenging to write than Dean. But I LOVE those looks he pulls out!!!

Yeah, I'm with Strigo--there's just something about Dean being whipped.  I could so picture it and how stoic he was at first and then just couldn't take anymore, shaking before each blow.  LOVED that scene.

Good write.
