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

Here's a cookie - a really, really big cookie, with chocolate chips and everything - even sprinkles! That was wonderful - sad, touching, poignant. A great look into Dean's state of mind, and his reasons for doing things the way he does. Thanks, hon, for sharing this - it was a piece of gold!...Jules

Author's Response: Wow. I don't even know what to say. I'm so glad that you liked it. So far, I think this is the story I'm most proud of... Thanks you so much for such a lovely review. AND cookies - YUM!

Wow - I enjoyed that story so much! You won my heart - me being a Dean girl and all. It was beautifully written. I loved how you got inside his mind about the rats. And the thought of little Dean sitting perched like a roosting hen on top of the fridge all night - just too precious! Welcome to the site, and I hope you share many more of these wonderful stories with us.

Author's Response: julie.....thanks so much for your nice review....i really enjoy your stories,too ...trying to work my way thru them....how can you be sooo prolific and still work ???!! ....Dean on the fridge was my personal favorite paragraph....just seemed like something 'our' boy would do....

Oh, lam - this was a great insight into Dean's head, and his reasons for doing what he does. But a little part of me can't help but hope that he finds another way, other than making a deal with that lying, yellow eyed sod.

However, that takes nothing away from what was a beautiful little piece. I really enjoyed it. So - what would you prefer? Peanut M&M's, perhaps? Thanks for sharing this - and loved the implied hug at the end.....Jules



Author's Response:

 Thanks so much for the review. I don't have a problem with Dean making a deal because I don't believe that he would ever have any intention of going through with it - not that he wouldn't sacrifice himself in a heartbeat, but with a whole year at his disposal, he'd be totally convinced he'd find a way out of it. It's my own little way of having my M&M's and eating them too! And I was a bit evil with the hug, but I just totally picture the season ending with them stepping up to each other, arms wide open, and cut to black. They know we want a hug....

 
I'm Sorry by JALover7 Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 14]
Summary:

Ficlet, 1600 words. Coda to “All Hell Breaks Loose, part 1,” so spoilers for that episode (none for Part 2). The final scene from Sam’s point of view. I thought I’d try and get inside Sam’s head and see how he was feeling in that moment, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy.

I thought the bike scene was familiar!

Wow - that was just so wonderfully done - I'm trying not to give in to tears. We haven't seen the ep out here in Aus, but I'm a sucker for spoilers, and I have peeked at the video clips of the episode on the sn.tv main page. It is going to be a heart-wrenching ep to watch. You did a really good job of getting inside Sam's head - and those final lines - goodness me, where are the tissues...

That was great - thank you for that. Poor Dean - I've had to make a couple of those phone calls myself over the years - and each telling just makes the pain more unbearable. The reminiscing was spot-on. Wonderful tie-in with the two episodes.

Author's Response: Oh, ouch.  *hugs you gently for having had to make such sad phone calls*  Well, I'm very glad you enjoyed my story, even if it did touch on tragic times in your life.  Thank you for reading and leaving such lovely feedback!  :-)

Lam - I must admit - when I read the title, I had a bad moment, but when I saw the author was you, I took a deep breath, and dived in.

And you didn't disappoint. This hit right to the heart of what Dean would be going through, and stayed right away from the demon's comment about Sam not being 100% pure Sam (which, privately, I think is utter rot, and typical of demonic lying and misdirection). I've read a lot of missing scenes and tags about the finale, and some of them have been flipping dark, but this one was a little gem. I loved how Dean recognised that his baby brother had finally matured into a man, but on some level, would always be the a little kid in the eyes of his big brother - the one who raised him.

And the fact that Dean had come to a place where he could accept his brother's help was just so spot on. I really enjoyed this, and am going to shower you with cookies of all shapes, flavours, and sizes. Home-made, commercially-made - with and without cream filling...

Loved it.



Author's Response: *Blushes* Thank you so much for the fabulously kind words. I hadn't thought about the fact that people would just assume the title meant what it looked like - stupid eh? I purposely put the twist on it afterall. I couldn't agree more about the demon being full of crap. The CD in CRB told Dean he could have his Dad back in 100% form and he'd been dead a lot longer and had no corporeal body to come back to! I just loved the look on Dean's (Jensen's) face when Sammy says he's going to save him - the pride, faith and comfort that came through so clearly. God, JA is just a fabulous actor *gushes quietly to herself*. Thanks again for taking the time to give such a detailed response - it really is cookies!!!

So many tags and missing scenes, and not all of them hopeful - some of them are downright black. But this one - it was sad, and touching, and I loved the hint of a promise at the end, that no matter what, Dean would always be there. That hangs on to hope, and hope is so important.

Thank you for this - it was great.

Jules



Author's Response: Yeah, I did think twice about actually writing this, seeing as there have been sooo many tags and missing scenes for AHBL...  But it was stuck in my head and had to come out I'm afraid!  I'm glad it was worth the effort though!

Banner for Connected

One-shot tag/missing scene from WIAWSNB set in “The Wake-Up Call” verse. Sam knew exactly what it cost Dean to resist the Djinn.
