About time I updated this again....

I am happily late 40-something, and work in accounts - I'm happy playing with numbers. They don't lie.... 

It has always been my dream to write - I remember being praised for a story in English class in Grade 4. I was about 9 or 10 years old.

But then real life got in the way - job, marriage, and all the rest, and writing became something I did occasionally, and not very seriously.

And then, along came Supernatural. And the Supernatural.tv website, and the fanfic forums. And as I browsed, I wondered...could I really have a crack at this? So I did, and I am loving it.

Some people paint, some people do quilting or patchwork, others knit - I write. Re-discovering a passion that I had buried for just over 20 years has been fun, scary, and rewarding. And the reviews make it all worthwhile. Keep them coming - they are precious gold.

I'm pretty consistent about a few things - if I start a story I will finish it, I don't like to have more than one story going at a time, and I tend to stick to three writing rules:

No Wincest
No Deathfics
I love to play with your minds

Finally, a huge thank you to all who have supported me over the past four and a bit years. Winning The Kripke award three times running means more to me than you could ever know, and thanks just doesn't even begin to describe the feeling I have in my heart.

And to all whose stories I have enjoyed, and whose talent has inspired me to push beyond my comfort zone and aim high, bless you and thank you for sharing your gifts and your stories. I continue to be amazed and humbly gratified by the quality and diversity of tales on this site.

Huge thanks to Chasidern, my own auntie Chris - for all of my beautiful story banners, and for glueing my awards banners together to make the page nice and neat.  

Bless you all,

Jules.

Proudly Australian

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering - the first flag in the banner below is the official state flag for my home state of Queensland, the middle one is of course the Australian flag, and the third is the Eureka Stockade flag, because I'm a bit of a rebel at times.

That was very, very well done. Thank you for sharing that. I don't usually read poetry, but this one intrigued me, and I'm very glad it did.

Author's Response: aww thank you very much!!!! glad you like it, yep poetry is something a bit strange and personal.

That's nice, Lam - you summed him up perfectly. I especially like the middle one, but that's me...

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I was going for the essential Dean - ala the haiku tradition - but got distracted by the pretty with the middle one, I think....

Kris - I'm thrilled to see you over here!

I read this over on the sn.tv site, and I read it again here on this one, and I think I loved it even more the second time around. That poignant scene of Dean not wanting to put his brother down, because it would mean he would have to face the cold reality - that just choked me up. That was a wonderful insight into what Dean was feeling. I loved the whole piece. Thanks hon....Jules



Author's Response: Hey Jules!!  So you're here too, huh?  Yeah...I'm just now discovering the awesomeness of this site.  I joined a while ago, but never really got into it.  Now I'm here lol.  Thank you for reading it twice, and reviewing it twice!!  Love ya girl!!  :)

Aaaaarrrrrrghhhhhh! Don't leave it there! Write some more, dammit!

Oh, no - you have to keep going with a very quick update - you can't leave my boy in the mud with a house on top of him....

Fix, fix, fix, fix, fix.....

Nice start, by the way...



Author's Response: Thanks for the awesome response!!! I love that this is driving everyone crazy - now I see how people become addicted to writing cliffies.... *chuckles evilly*! My challenge for myself with this one is to post quickly - so more sooooon. Might be short, might have another cliffie.....

What a way to ramp up the tension, Lisa! The house is moving, Dean can't feel his legs, he's bleeding, Sam's bleeding....and they are about to separate...(hides under desk with hands over eyes)...Jules



Author's Response: Thanks Jules! I'm so sorry to take so long to respond to your review....and to post an update - promise that is coming soon too, I'm glad you're liking the tension so far - more to come - promise!

Finally made it back to the story. But - lunch break is over - got to pay the staff now (damn it!) so only got to read the next chapter.

Got to love Dean trying to pretend nothing's wrong when he can't even walk by himself. And creepy roof dude keeps moving...somehow, I don't think that's going to be very good for our favourite hunters....Jules

 
Reviewer: mizpah Signed starstarstarstarhalf-star
Date: 23/10/07 Title: Chapter 8: We Will Rock You

Creepy roof dude is still definitely creepy - and two spirits????? Wow, nothing like ramping up the tension. Let's see - we have two injured hunters, two freaky spirits, half a hundred mudslides, a mother of a storm - did I leave anything out? Two road-trains worth of cookies if you come back and update - soon...please, please, please - *bats creek-water brown puppy dog eyes*.....Jul

 
Summary:

Given a chance, Dean does his best to make sure Sam has at least one nice Christmas.

Disclaimer: I apparently wasn't high enough on the "Nice" list, or I showed up on the "Naughty" list too often, to earn the Winchesters under my tree last year, so they're still not mine.  Just havin' fun with 'em for now.

What an intriguing start! So, can't wait to find out what Warminger thought the book was, and what it actually is, but I'm with Dean - it doesn't sound good.

Poor Sam - I can imagine his reaction to hearing all that ruckus on the other end of the phone. Dean's in deep shite.....Jules

 
Reviewer: mizpah Signed
Date: 13/11/08 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Fire of known origin

Whoa! I meant to ask in the last review - what happened to Warminger...now I just found out.

That demon must be seriously bad news if Bobby has never seen anything like it before. And salt has had no effect on it. Does it want the book, or Dean? Or both?

The headlong rush through the catacombs in the dark with that thing chasing them was nail-biting. Looking forward to the next chapter - it's going to be a hell of a ride....Jules

 
Reviewer: mizpah Signed
Date: 13/11/08 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Book of Revalations

Dean's stubbornness has once more gotten him into deep doo-doo. That was such a poignant flashback - and that line about the sky shedding tears that he couldn't really pulled at my heart.

Things aren't looking good - this demon is more powerful than any they have faced before - and it's on a mission. Hope Bobby can pull it back before it does serious damage to Dean....Jules

 
Reviewer: mizpah Signed
Date: 13/11/08 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Back in the fold

Neat move of Sam's to call out to Dean that he was trapped, igniting that fierce big brother protectiveness.

Hopefully the demon hasn't done too much damage to Dean.....Jules

 
Reviewer: mizpah Signed
Date: 13/11/08 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Pen mightier than the sword.

Nice solution of Bobby's to bury it under John's headstone - and cemeteries are consecrated ground, too.

Poor Sam, storming out after Dean's wild suggestion about keeping the book. I can't blame him, after the pain of almost losing his brother twice in one night. And knowing what is hanging over Dean's head in a year's time.

This was a great read - thank you for sharing....Jules

 
Summary:

There was an interesting prompt challenge over at the sn.tv boards....well, this is what I came up with.

Awesome! I read your post over on our home forum about Lo's challenge, and I thought, no, there are braver souls than I am to do the challenge - I'll just sit back and read all about it. And I found this!

Seriously dude - our boy in a MULLET? What would Ash think? Oh, hang on - I think I've just given you an idea for a sequel!

Loved it, hon. Mullet....serious giggle at that one.....Jules



Author's Response:

OMG Jules, I hadn't realized you reviewed!  Bad me!!  Lol...I haven't checked my stories in a bit. 

But thank you!  Yeah, I hadn't done a challenge before, so I decided 'why not'?  lol...it's Lo after all.  But I think you would have done awesome!  We didn't have enuf ppl vote, lol, I think only 10 pplz voted including myself...

And I would never do that to Sam!  Or Dean!  Even tho, Jensen...season 1 'day in the life of'...i loved the pic hahahahaha...

So thank you once again for all the support!!

Nice - very fun to read. I laughed too when the jeans laughed at the jacket re the melted M&M's - and loved the line "worn out piece of cow". That made me giggle. Nice work, hon!....Jules
