Howdy from Texas! 

I'm rather fond of grammar and spelling and words in general & I'd make a living writing if I could.

I've been writing for my own entertainment since high school (a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.) Been working on a series for a long time but haven't given enough effort to finding an agent.    I'm getting better at short stories; writing the one-shots helped. I've also discovered that I can't edit myself too much or I just keep changing things & not always for the better. I have to work on letting things be; sometimes the way the words flow right at the start works so much better than any conscious editing.

Just discovered "Castle". Love Nathan Fillion; you gotta watch "Dr. Horrible" if you haven't yet.  Also like "Chuck" & "24". When I have the time, I read a lot of SciFi/Fantasy with a few mystery/thrillers thrown in.  Jim Butcher, Laurell K. Hamilton, CJ Cherryh, Jonathan Kellerman, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, Weiss & Hickman, Robert Jordan, Melanie Rawn.  Several dozen others.

I'm on MySpace & Twitter (for some reason) as Renate651, but this is the only place I've posted a story.

Author's Response:

Wow, Kristen, I can't believe you read the whole thing...and in one sitting too...you must be pretty exhausted so I hope you're getting plenty of sleep now to make up for it..lol I'm so pleased you enjoyed it though, and that you're eager for the rest...only 2 more chapters to go and then we're done.

Thanks for the great review and the stars and welcome to the site, hope you enjoy all the stories you read...and maybe you'll even get the bug and start to post..heheheX Louy

Loved this story! I'm only partly familiar with with Reaper but I did notice the similarities. The plot lines between the 2 shows sure fell together well.  And I was kind of thinking along the same lines-you know, the Devil not being pleased with Azazel's uprising. I enjoyed this story!

Author's Response: I was actually trying to think how I could get across the idea of The Devil himself owning Dean's contract (without slipping into the VS world!) and letting him out of it because he didn't like Azazel taking the initiative, and that's what led to the Reaper idea - because the Devil is actually kind of a likeable character in Reaper (if inherantly dangerous!)

 
Summary:

 


Because not all of those catcalls were for Sam. This time, it’s all about Dean. Sam’s POV during an alternative version of ‘Folsom prison blues’. Warnings: liberal use of the f-word and mature themes.

White Room by bjxmas Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 107]
Summary:

Dean survived Hell and was on the road to recovery, but for every surge forward he’d fall back a step or two. His frustration at not being whole was growing. He wasn’t the man he used to be. Would he ever be that man again?

 

No Rest for the Wicked tag.

Summary:

fox carries hare

I wrote this story under the penname Guiltypleasure--so that it would be separate from the thread that starts with What Goes Around,  Comes Around. 

--This story takes place somewhere after the St. Louis incident--the brothers have been running from the law for some time.  Dean is stalked and caught by a woman with a grudge,  but her need for revenge is a tool that a demon finds useful.
