Wow, it's been a while.

The boring bit: 20s (just), from the South of England. I sell cheese for a living and write purely for the fun of whumpage.

Thanks to: The huntergirls, The Virtual Season (for whom I was honoured to write/art for, for a while) and to Tree for the truly mammoth amount of work she puts into this site. (Seriously - it's like a duckling; all calm and serene on top but under the surface...?MADNESS! :) )

I've been pretty quiet on fanfic lately - having completed the penultimate installment of the House of Cards series I found myself at a bit of a loss, and sad to say, as much as I still love the show, it hasn't been particularly inspirational for a while now.

But:

I'm ploughing my way through another epic fic - The Coming of the Light; an apocafic set in an AU world after season 5 (if I can just get Cas to play, that will be coming up very soon indeed!) - and I've got a whole file full of bunnies for the end of Cards.

Hope to see you there!

Eeek, that is one seriously evil bad guy! Be proud! (In a slightly crazy way...)

Author's Response:

Thanks calUK!

Yeah, he is one seriously evil guy and I am not ashamed to say I am proud of him! Now, does that make me twisted or what?

Glad you like it!

Oh now that's an evil cliffie!

bad guys galore, crashing cars - at least Dean's out of jail but somehow i think it might seem like a nice place to be by the time you're done!

QUICK - next update tomorrow? Go on, ya know ya want to...!

(Think I might turn as nuts as Gordon and Robbie combined if you make us wait a week!)



Author's Response:

Thanks CalUK!

You think that's an evil cliffie, wait until you get to chapter 10...oh, did I just give a little teaser?

Update coming on Monday night!

Oh, and please don't go as nuts as those two...I don't think my fragile mind can take it after writing these two together...lol

Hell, you are well and truly IN your depth! That was a brilliant story, those long, disjointed sentences really built up the tension and the confusion until you let rip with a slightly scary, angst-ridden explanation. Your writing packs in so much atmosphere, with the odd bit of humour to keep us all from going completely crazy with it.

Keep writing!

Definately not dissapointed (don't think i spelt that right, but it's the third time round so never mind!) - the ending really suited the rest of the story, coming from a very clear, vivid character.

A great read, thanks!

I'm really happy you liked the story and esp the pov character.  Thanks for taking the time to read and review this story.  Liz x

Thanks to birdie, couldn't have done it without you! All my love. You're the best!!

Don't own Kripke's boys or any of the events on TV, but the show inspired my story (I wish the boys were mine, though...) Spoilers through seasons 3, 2, 1

Oh, yeah: Hurt!Dean and Protective!Sam throughout whole story (not in chap 1)

Author's Response:

Hey cal,

thanks for the review. I said I would stop if the readers told me to. So far none of them has, so no way I'm stopping. Chapter 5 is my favourite, wait till you read...

Oh, now that's one hell of a beginning!

Scary teaser, heart-in-my-mouth crash and the promise of a little blood and pain to come...

Don't you dare leave us hangin' now, girl!



Author's Response:

WOW, I feel deeply honoured. I really love your stuff. Now I'm getting a review back from you... I don't mean to flatter, I'm just honest.

I'd never dare to stop now. And yeah, there'll be blood and pain... you just wait. Next chapter up at the weekend...

Thx Ilka

Right - mad reviewing session called for - haven't been able to post anything of any sort for a while, but I've been reading and it's been amazing!

Love the way Sam and Dean both try so hard to hide their pain/worry from each other, and fail so miserably at it; and your descriptions - of all the hurt and angst as well as the more everyday stuff - are so vivid it makes the story play out like a film in my head.

Loving every minute of this story, and can't wait for more (and hopefully I'll be able to review quickly next time...!)

 



Author's Response:

Hey cal, thanks for reviewing. I'm glad and as always honoured to hear you still like it.

Haven't gotten around to reviewing anything lately, caught up in writing and posting.

So, you experience the same thing I do while reading you story then, hehe (The Devil in You), like an epi on TV, yeah, that's how I feel, too, when I'm writing... I'll finish your story tomorrow and then will review every little bit chap for chap...

Hugs, Ilka

Yikes! The BIG bad's in town, and it looks like things are about to get really fun for the boys. Or us, at any rate...

Love a bit of blood 'n angst, and you write them both so well.

Really liked the formatting you used in Dean/Amy's dreams, it made it really easy to read a situation that often gets a little confusing...

Can't wait for more!



Author's Response:

Glad you liked the formatting, came to me while editing, and, yeah it was to underline the confusion...

Ehem, still haven't gotten around to do your reviews, SORRY!!

Hugs and thx the review. Always a pleasure reading and responding....

Date: 28/04/08 Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Trapped

Okay, now you're just teasing! Love the way you use a few simple, powerful words to create beautiful images, sometimes in the most unlikely places - 'Looking up, jade eyes slightly out of focus, Dean confronted his brother and nodded, slowly.' - ouch! Hurt, and the wonderful confusion of confrontation and agreement; beautiful and unexpected!

Can't wait for more... Was Sam really supposed to stay where he was? Are they trapped/laying an ambush of their own? Will they save the day, or will it all come crashing down around them?

Tell us more!



Author's Response:

Well, Cal.

Thanks for your review. As for the simple and powerful stuff, dunno it might be just 'cos if I could write like a native speaker, my chapters would be filled with desriptions and other stuff. In German, I tend to blab... Maybe you should be glad I'm not as eloquent in English, HA!

Concerning your questions: come on now, where's the fun in telling all of it before the next chappie? You'll just have to wait a couple of days. It might be updated around May 1st.

Cheers,

Ilka

LOVED IT! Not sure who i feel more sorry for, Dean, Sam, Amy or evil Dr Harrington (I know, I know, only doing his job, but still...) when Big Bro wakes up and kicks his ass for being such a git.

I love the way your writing is really simple, very clean, precise story-telling, then you go and hammer us with pure poetry like 'an icy hand wrapped around Sam's rapidly beating heart' and 'a sensation of suffocation tightened his lungs as panic rose and squeezed at his heart with overpowering, relentless fists.' Beautiful!

Can't wait for the next chappie...



Author's Response:

Hey Cal,

thanks for leaving me another most welcomed review. I'm glad you're still reading. Somehow the read counts have gone down the drain lately. Guess (PRETEND) it's because the show is on again and people get their weekly fix there. That makes me hope for the long summer...

Well, as for my writing skills. I told you before (haven't I?) it's all accidental. English isn't my first language and I would write extremely drippier in German than I do now. Kinda makes me wonder if it isn't a blessing for you guys that I can't express what I want to say properly.

Hugs and thanks again. Chapter 13's been sent to my betas already and 14 is currently in the making (should be the last one!).

Would leave more, but I promised to finish it and I don't wanna stop anyway!



Author's Response:

Hey. You really seem to like it then Cal. That's cool.

I only discovered while writing this chapter that I could do turmoil decently well. AND I enjoy doing it... 

Thanks for the review then. Will respond to the next one now...

Wow - you ain't pulling any punches are ya?

Beautiful - fire burning around her like petals of a rose, and a myriad of stars exploding in front of his tear blurred eyes

A touch of humour to give us a break - Murphy's Law. If things wer bad, you could count on them to turn evil if the Winchester's were involved. - loved that - so true!

And oh the hurt and the drama - ain't gonna quote this, cuase that entire last paragraph just blew me away and I can't pick anything out!

say again - Wow - and onto the next - and last! chappie...



Author's Response:

And again. You picked the best parts to quote. The rose bit was a description I thought of when I first watched Home.

And I really quote Murphy s law quite often. In real life. Oh, yeah. I needed some humour to brighten my spirits when I wrote it.

Hope to catch you there then. Waiting for your final review. Ilka

I know I'm a little late, but START NOW!!!!!!!!

Okay?

And as for this one - scary, and somehow you just knew poor Amy wasn't going to make it, read that last chapter waiting to see the look in Dean's eyes when he realised what had happened - though the way you wrote it was amazing - enough to tell us what happened without using a sledgehammer to drive the point home.

He was crying silently, face averted, shadowed by the half-light around him

- that is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.

So I'll leave it there, since I'm gonna drown the keyboard in a minute.



Author's Response:

OH? I made you cry? REALLY?
Never happened to me before the memorable toy thing. But on Links? Nobody cried (apart from myself that is...)

Well, I have started something that might turn out to be the sequel. But it doesn't feel right so far. Might have to do another.

Thanks for reviewing Cal. And I am so counting the days until Halloween.

Hugs and here - have a tissue.

Hey, you!

It is so cool to see that I freaked you out yet you think it was beautiful. That's so flippin' sweet to hear. Thank you for taking the time to comment. As for a sequel...*laugh* As I told bulletbabe, if I can find the time I probably will. Just because I know the cliffie for season three is going to make for a LONG summer. 

Take care, cal!

Well now that's mean.

You go and get me all addicted to your writing, then you leave me with a cliffie like that?

Cruel!

But seriously, your writing is brilliant - it's got that dark, cold edge to it that calls up some of the...less cheerful episodes (most of which are my favourites!), then you toss in just the right kick of black (as midnight) humour to keep the pace moving.

Glad your little boy is better, and not just 'cause I don't have to feel guilty about pulling an Oliver Twist and begging pitifully for more!



Author's Response:

Thank you so much.  I'm really glad you like the dark atmosphere.  I've been trying hard to keep that in each chapter. 

I really wish I had more time to work on each chapter.  It's been a bit of a rush job to get each one done - I have 2 jobs at the moment and a grumpy little boy so don't get half as much time for writing as I wish I did - so getting reviews like yours, really makes it all worthwhile.
