I am a Professional Storyteller.  I tell stories for schools, libraries, festivals, and other events around Utah.  My specialty is ghost stories, because I absolutely LOVE to get the shivers, and make other people shiver in return. No wonder I'm a big Supernatural Fan!

When I'm not telling stories, I am a very busy mother of two.

I'm surprised at how many chapters I missed reviewing!  I really thought I was doing better than that. 

I remember having my tonsils out.  Ice cream is the BIG LIE.  I didn't want to eat ANYTHING, much less ice cream.  I was also 7.  Dean's much tougher.

I remember this one.  It's so awkward being in unfamiliar surroundings on a holiday.  I like thinking that Sam really did go with Jessica for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I think this might be the saddest of the Thanksgivings.

I think that THIS was where I meant to leave the review that ended up in the first chapter.  About them sharing the pie.  Sam is sad, but it's still better than when they were separated.

Wonderful story.  I loved the set up with the ghost at the beginning, making it a very interesting hunt from the start.  I loved the aftermath and all of Sam's confusion.  I loved that they got to say all the things that I wished they would say to each other. 

Author's Response:

Thank you - I wish we'd get to see a few more of those quieter moments on screen- but then again, it gives we writers some lovely material to work with, so I suppose I should be careful what I wish for - lol.

Thanks for reading, and reviewing. I figured that Sam's mind would definitely be chewing over what Dean had revealed, so it made sense for it to rewind back to the worst time of his life after that bonk on the head. Hmmm....I really have to stop whacking them over the head, don't I...?

Perfect.  I loved the triage scene in that episode, and am very glad you've made it longer.  :)  I loved Dean's point of view, painful as it was.  Good job!

Author's Response:

Well, the pain all comes from RoweenaC - that was an odd IM session... And it was only meant to be a quick little scene - guess he just wanted to have his say.

Thanks hun!

 
The Quiet Man by PADavis Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 20]
Summary:

Dean is speechless. A ‘Strine fugly and a hunt takes a toll on both brothers.

Thru Terry's Eyes is totally responsible for this as I’m sure she is for many things. Rated T for embarrassingly and excessively foul language for which the fugly is totally responsible.

OH yes, I thought that Dean had been pretty harsh on that one too.  NOT fair of him to bring up Madison.   Of course by the end of the episode, Sam's been just as bad.  Why is it that we hurt the ones we love te most?  Thank you for giving the boys a chance to forgive one another.  I have a feeling the tv series isn't going to be so kind to us.

Oh, yayy!  It's finally here, and wow, what a beginning!  I just have to say that I don't think every other week is NEARLY soon enough.  I'm free tonight.  I could read an update tonight.  Really. 

Author's Response:

Oh, not an easy recovery!  I feel bad for the boys!  You have once again had me on the edge of my seat, and I am once again anxious for the next chapter!

Date: 12/03/09 Title: Chapter 3: Only For A Moment, And The Moment's Gone

I love it that they have their own junked car as a hangout.  Nice detail.  I also really like the story of the shapeshifter.  Maybe you need to expand on that in another story someday!  I'm glad that Sam was finally able to get through to Dean a little bit.  At least bridge the gap partway.  Good chapter!

Author's Response:

Soon as that image came to me I loved it - them sitting in a beat up, rusty old muscle car, kindof the antithesis of the Impala. And it just clicked as a place to bridge the gap, somewhere so much like their 'home'.

I might play with the shapeshifter a little - hadn't really thought about it, but I might.

Thanks for R&&R'ing, hun, lad you enjoyed it!

 
Reviewer: Primrose Signed
Date: 05/04/09 Title: Chapter 1: So That You Might Save Me

Very tense chapter!  Seizures are so not good!  I'm very worried about what's going on with Dean now.  I was struck particularly by the seizure Dean had when Sam brought him into the ER.  Sam and the doctor holding Dean down- the imagery was really good.  I'm also glad Dean finally told Sam what happened.  Keep up the good work!



Author's Response:

Oh it's not good. Not good at all... That scene in the ER is actually one I've had hanging around or a while in a fic thaat stalled. I liked it and it fit so I cannibalised the original story!

Glad you liked it, and Dean telling Sam what he had to do. That was a difficult scene to write.

More next week!

Date: 15/04/09 Title: Chapter 6: We're Just A Wish Away

You managed to have some great moments here for both of the boys.  It was definitely some very intense reading.  I can identify with Dean very much because I can't STAND being cold, and am right now wearing a big fleece jacket OVER my sweater.  I couldn't imagine a worse fate, so reading about him shivering is just awful. 

I LOVE the nurse!  She's got just the right combination of common sense, patience, motherliness, and compassion to make me very glad she's looking after those boys. 



Author's Response:

thanks hun! Marie wasa fun character to write - she and Tom may be making repeat appearances, I think, later in the series. See how that one goes...

Thanks for reviewing, and I hope my little screw up didn't spoil the reading too much!

Date: 02/05/09 Title: Chapter 7: Driving The Nail

Ooo!  Answers!  I love the Voudoun twist-or at least the Voudoun flavor.   It makes the little details you threw in about the spell very rich.  I really really hope it works!  Sam's kind of spacing out and I want him to go faster and get things done in time!

Author's Response:

Well, a few answers. Sorta. Can't give the game away just yet... I've always loved the impact of Voudoun in stories, and wanted to write one for a while so when this came up as a possibility for the spell, I was very happy! It's a lot of fun to write, so I hope you enjoy reading what's coming up as much as I did! (I have a sneaking suspicion you might just... ;) )

Thanks hun!

 
Reviewer: Primrose Signed
Date: 24/05/09 Title: Chapter 8: These Gods Aren't Faking

Heh, if your spell was anything like the big voudon ritual one of my friends went to, they needed to spit more rum. 

WHAT has Sam done?  The Loa gave him an out, and clearly warned him there would be consequences, and THEN Dean is screaming?  I have a BAD FEELING about this! 

I loved your use of the voudon ritual, and the Cajun accent.  It really does evoke some strong images and feelings.  I love it that the doctor got to witness the whole thing- talk about a major freak out!  Hee Hee! 

Now we just have to worry about the consequences.  There are ALWAYS consequences.....



Author's Response:

Well I thought about rum spitting, but I just couldn't seem to write it without dissolving into fits of giggles... (and seeing that scene from Lazarus Rising. heehee)

But yeah, nothing's ever simple for the boys. It's just more twisted fun that way!

Glad you liked the Cajun - it took a while to get it typed how it sounded in my head. 

Thanks!

Poor broken Dean!  I hate seeing him like an old man- beaten down by too much.  It makes me sad.  Clearly things aren't all right- I can't wait to find out what other consquences Sam's meddling has had.  You've got some GREAT imagery here- tasting graveyard dirt when he kissed the crossroads demon was an outstanding touch. 



Author's Response: wow that was quick... Ta hun! Great to know someone's still reading! And oh, you're gonna love the consequences. *insert manic cackle here*

So THAT'S what the ghede was talking about.  NASTY price to pay.  And Dean's voice- aww...I want everything to be right again!  :)  This new hunt is interesting-I definitely want to know what it is they're up against!

Author's Response:

Yeah, pagan gods've got a real mean streak, apparently. heh

If you hadn't noticed, I kinda have a thing for a husky Dean - and a hurt/weary/angsty...

You get the picture.

Only a couple of chapters left in this one now - one last throw of the dice!
