I stumbled on fanfic by accident and was instantly addicted. Even read the Wincest ones. God, I'm so ashamed, I even enjoyed some of them... a lot of them, actually. Startling persanality revelation to say the least. Not only have I become a review junkie I go into major withdrawal if I don't have something to read. Ta for all the smashing writers on this site.

...And if I could get my blasted cats to stop jumping on the keyboard!

I have been writing for years but being the slow learner I am, I had no idea web sites like this existed. Glory be to God and the rain came down, I am among my own kind!

I love the reviews, they keep me pumped. Talk about instant gratification! I like a good story as well as the prerequisite angst of which I am so terribly fond and am thrilled to discover, in this, I am not alone...(Turns out I'm not as warped as I thought I was. Which is good...I think...) My stuff tends to be a little on the dark side, usually a lot of emotional and or physical turmoil, mostly with Dean. I also like simple, but strong descriptions, I want readers to feel the rain and smell the blood

Me, personally, I'm tall, thin, have very short dark hair with a big white streak in the front and green eyes. I wear a gold snake earcuff made out of the gold from my class ring and some diamonds from a necklace I found in a parking lot and two silver thumb rings. I have a green and black tattoo of a celtic knot on the inside of my right forearm.

I'm told I can be very intimidating when I'm not being charming. (My son says , I'm not intimidating...I'm frightening (?) I never did anything to HIM) It depends on what I want and whether or not my good friend prozac and I have united that day. (The fact that I am writing on this web site instead of sitting in prison for murder or lying on my back in a grave is a testament to what that little jewel can do.)

I have been, among other things, an antique dealer, an exotic dancer, a graphic designer, layout artist and art director, a bakery manager/cake decorator, a car dealer and a suicidal depressive. I own four large, lazy, useless cats and am in possession of a very patient man who readily indulges my various obsessions. I have two children who have happily grown up in a kind of 'Night of the Living Dead' world. (If the world is ever overcome by vampires or zombies, my kids are who you want at your back). My tastes have always drifted toward the bizarre and I guess I passed that along to them.

My own mother once asked me (after finding a bunch of books on witchcraft under my bed) not to get too weird. I'm the relative that gets pulled out at family groups and is introduced as "You've got to meet Terry!" When I was a kid I spent a lot of time playing in the graveyard near where we lived, (trying to break into the masoleum, if you really want to know).

We collect swordcanes, among other things, (my son stabbed me in the leg with one once, long story, accident...he said) and I keep a hunting knife next to the driver's seat in my car, (It belonged to my grandmother, what can I say, I'm sentimental like that). I took up knife throwing at my husband's encouragement. Hell, he has a 7 foot blowgun. I carry a pocket watch and the best presents my husband ever gave me were a stuffed elephant I sleep with and a Swiss Army knife. I don't sleep with that, he won't let me because of the spider dreams, but it goes where I go.

He also recently gifted me with a beautiful wooden stake to add to our vampire kit. It's got a good grip, well balanced and the business end is sharp as hell and smoother than glass. (Well, I liked it!) Craftsmanship is craftsmanship.

As an anniversary present, he got me a life size animatronic zombie butler for our entry. White gloves, tuxedo, the whole nine yards. A man who truly understands a woman's needs is a gift! (I am not into Goth in case that's what you're thinking.)

I once set myself on fire (never volunteer to light a big pile of gunpowder with a kitchen match) and was once thrown from the back of a truck after an unexpected game of chicken (asphalt burns HURT and when people write about the effects of concussions on this site they're not kidding around, it IS possible to see two of something. It took 20 years to find out who was driving the other vehicle.) Oh yeah, and I once punched my best friend in the eye with the butt of a gun. Thinking back, it was really her fault, she wasn't supposed to be standing there

I think it's a sin to take youreself to seriously, or anything else for that matter. Unbelievably, there is humor in everything, or at least something to smile about, even if it's a sad smile and it takes a little time to find. (As proof, I offer the fact that when my mother died we picked out a casket that reminded us of her car and kidded around about having her beloved bumper sticker put on the coffin. It read. "Not a well woman." She would have loved that.)

I'm very sarcastic by nature and am one of those people who can look at someone and see the neon sign on their forehead that flashes 'potential victim'. Some people are born with silver spoons in their mouth. In my family, we're born with razor blades for tongues. It's a sickness...

Hopefully, I will be able to channel my darker side into my stories and not outward at the people who are forced to share space with me. They tend to keep a safe distance anyway.

I will keep writing as long as someone tells me they want to read my stuff. I won't stop writing it for my own sick entertainment, but it's nice to know someone else is giving it a look and hopefully enjoying it, so it's worth posting.

Ta to everyone who reads my stuff, whether you liked it or not. Hopefully you did. Ta always for any reviews, good or bad. Hopefully good. And ta for taking the time to come here and try and find out who I am. If you figure it out, e-mail me. I'd like to know too, although I do have my suspicions.

Family mantras:

1. Work with what you got.

2. It's NEVER to late to try.

Family lessons: (No crap, my kids will repeat this verbatim if you ask)

1. In the case of zombies. Cut the head off, then burn the body and head in seperate piles.

2. You can't get out of the back of a police car if you don't have a screwdriver.

3. ALWAYS carry a knife. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Family policy: Be nice. If nice doesn't cut it, then do what you need to, to control the situation.

You know what the really pathetic thing about this profile is? Every damned word is true...

Onward and upward or as I am wont to say...beauty is pain.

If you like the stories you read on fanfic, whether they're mine or someone elses, cause there are a lot of talented writers on this site in whose shadow I am humbled to stand, show those writers how much their efforts mean by considering nominating then for a Supernatural FanFiction Award at http://sensue.net/snfa/index.php?c=63 , or through Sensue's site at http://www.sensue.net. Sensue has instructions on nominating your favorites and if you are confused by them she is always ready to lend a hand. Whether you win or not, the fact that someone enjoyed your story enough to want it nominated is a great compliment to the writers who offer these stories for your enjoyment.

My fanfic, "Chipping Away", won first place in the category, Chick Flick Moments and Best Story Overall in the 2nd round of the SNFA Awards (http://www.sensue.net)

I am an artist and writer for the Supernatural Virtual Season.

This is interesting. It has a few editing issues I'd like you to read over and fix but I wanted validate it.

Author's Response:

Summary:

Dean is so shaken by events in What Is and What Should Have Been that he makes a deal with the cross-roads demon to change the past so that his father doesn't become a hunter and ends up in a alternate world where things are radically different, except that he alone can remember the original time-line.

I'm still applauding. Brilliant, one of the best stories I've read in a long time and a great chapter on it's own.

Author's Response: You may not remember this Terry, but months ago you asked me why I hadn't written any stories, and it started me thinking. So consider yourself responsible! Thanks also for the amazing encouragement right through this piece, and for all of the admin help. Like Sam, I'm grateful!

 
Summary:

A bad moon rises over the Winchesters when a stop for coffee and a meal turns into a hunt that threatens the brother's existence. Will Sam save his wounded brother, or will Dean's belief that what's dead should stay dead drive him to risk it all? Co-written by Freyja529 and Gaelicspirit.

Damn that was exciting! I shot thru the first chapter and wallowed my way happily thru this one. Co-writes can be so hard, ya'll are doing a really good job, I can't tell who wrote what which is the sign of a good co-write, it's got a different feel than Gaelics usual stuff so I'll assume that's Frejyas doing. Good for you! I love werewolf stories and Gaelic said this was your idea. Can't wait for the rest. 

Author's Response:

Yep -- Freyja is the werewolf expert in this partnership. The idea was all hers and I was lucky enough to be able to help bring the story to life.  --GS

Thanks for the review, T! We appreciate it and hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

I know I was supposed to be tying up loose ends and reading that outline but I saw this had posted and I HAD to read it.  This is beautifully descriptive, and it keeps everything moving while still forming those lovely pictures in your mind. Really well done guys. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Thanks so much, T!! I love that you reviewed!! I don't even mind having to wait on your response to the outline. :)

It's so good to get your take on this -- if you can see it in your head, then we've done a decent job. And just wait... there's more to come. And Friday is just a few chapters away... ;)

Again I say WOW. The scene in the room where Sam and Dean have it out is fabulous. Just brilliant. And I forgot to mention in the ffnet review that the beginning scene with Sam was creepy thinking there ws someone in the room but Dean was gone.

My spidey sense is tingling as regards some of th rest of this, because Ii know your evil ways.....

 



Author's Response:

ooooo... spidey sense, eh? *grins* I'm thrilled that we got a "WOW" from you! That means a lot to me/us. It really does!!

I hope you like what's to come. There is a scene in Friday that will be dedicated to you (I've been teasing you about it since we completed the outline...) and I guarantee there will be rolling come Sunday. At least I'm pretty sure... like... 99% sure.

Slainte,

I don't know what else to say except that each succeeding chapter is better than the last. The first part was especially good and not just because of the shower scene. (Except for the parts where the water ran over his face...personal issues)

I loved the comments about Dean while Sam was watching him dance. And then of course just Dean dancing in general...

The fire was VERY exciting!



Author's Response:

YAY! T it's you!! So glad life eased up on you enough that you were able to read. :)

We're so glad that you enjoyed this chapter -- I had that picture you inserted in Unseen's Part 2 of the water dripping from Dean's face as I wrote it... Sorry about the squibs from something on your/his face. ;)

And the dance scene... I've wanted you to read that part since SJ and I wrote the outline of this chapter. Your amazing story "Writhe" from the Virtual Season 1 stories inspired me. Thanks for that.

And SJ kicked ass with the fire scene. So glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy the rest -- Sunday is the other chapter I am looking forward to your reaction of, but you can't get to Sunday without Saturday... hee.

Slainte!

So thanks again Terry!

 
Summary:

AHBL2  Sam didn’t know the particulars on his brother’s exploits, just that Dean liked sex and women liked Dean.  It was just a little sex, no big deal.  What more could there possibly be to know?

I shouldn’t begrudge him a good time, it’s just, he’s having fun and I’m the only one worrying about this?  In one year his bill comes due, how can he just roll over and die?
