Thanks for visiting my profile.

I've been a fan of the show "Supernatural" since the first episode aired. I remember reading about it in the 2005 TV Guide Fall Preview and thought it sounded interesting, plus I had been a fan of Jensen Ackles from "Dark Angel" and almost liked his character on "Smallville". I'll admit I never watched him on "Days of Our Lives", but I didn't watch that soap opera. I didn't know who Jared Padalecki was and it took me awhile to learn how to say his last name right, (LOL), but Eric Kripke did an excellent job of choosing these two actors to star in his show.

I have not posted any stories, but I love to read. I won't/can't read death fictions, but I love a good mystery and a hurt Dean or Sam stories are great, just as long as the brothers are together supporting and helping each other. Some favorite stories are ones that go by the Kripke time line based on the Pauley interview of 2006. But now that John's journal has been published , it looks like Mr. Kripke has changed his mind and the storyline again, placing Sam in college from 19 to 22, so three years instead of two. Dean now arrives at the beginning of Sam's senior year instead of his junior year.

A writer once said that they enjoy having someone point out what the reader likes about their story and what didn't work, so if I read a story, I always try to say something, though sometimes it may only be a thank you.

Just some personal information. I'm a nurse and work in a medical clinic. For extra money, I also house sit, taking care of my friends and co-workers pets while they are on vacation. I won't watch spiders or snakes, but have taken care of an assortment of animals ranging from white rats to clouded leopards and of course all the normal ones, dogs, cats and horses.

I have used the extra money to attend Supernatural conventions. I attended the convention that was held in Vancouver B.C. 2011 with my sister again for the third year. I was able to go on the Thursday location tour and our group visited Bordertown, where "Frontierland" and "AHBL" were filmed. My sister and I were able to go on the cruise with Misha and the weather was perfect. We had a wonderful time. What an awesome convention!

I was also able to attend the Chicago convention in October again. This was my fifth time flying to Chicago, but only the second time by myself. I had a wonderful time and even though I said it would be my last time attending a Chicago convention, because I need to save money for the Vancouver convention, I've already renewed my convention ticket again for next year.

I've enjoyed watching this season. I love that Dean and Sam are working together against the MoTW and the Leviathans, though I do miss the Impala. I hope fans of the show that drifted away over the past year will return again. I had trouble forgiving Mr. Kripke for "Swan Song", though I know many fans loved the ending, but it was very depressing for me. The first half of season six was a hard for me, but that was because I missed the brothers bond and we didn't know if Sam was going to get his soul back. I was very happy when Jensen announced that for the second half of season six, the brothers would be reunited for real. Through it all I will continue to watch "Supernatural" because of the two brothers, family, a cool car, good music, urban legends, hunting evil, saving people and investigating the supernatural. I watch the show because I want to smile, laugh, maybe be a little scared and just be entertained for an hour. I watch because of the two wonderful actors, Jensen and Jared and their performances each week.

Thanks for visiting and/or thanks for sharing your stories with me.

Take care.

Lori

Thanks for reminding me that I could find your next update over here.

I can understand why Sam has decided not to try and get his soul back, but this current roboSam can't continue with his current actions.

You did a great job of capturing Sam's thoughts.

Thanks again for sharing your stories with us. 

Take care.



Author's Response:

Hey!  FF is still a bit wonky. On one of my forays there Ch. 12 was gone, just like you said.  Makes me afraid to post another story or chapter.

I love that this site allows banners.  DALDOS makes me such pretties for my stories!

I do think it is perfectly understandable why Sam doesn't want to risk putting that damaged soul back into his body.  He's perfectly fine the way he is...or so he thinks.

I love that Dean is so certain and we know how much Dean loves Sam, but to see him like this, to know what he is capable of...Well, I have an upcoming chapter from Dean's POV that is really heartbreaking.  Sam needs his soul and without it, bad things will happen.

Thanks for taking the time to track down this chapter.  Later, B.J.

What a wonderful surprise.  Thanks for sharing your story with us.

I think you did a great job capturing the emotions and thoughts of Dean.   I love  both the brothers, that is why I watch the show, but when Dean started to hit Sam, I know I was angry at Sam for keeping another secret from Dean, so was glad that Dean hit him, though surprised how many times.

There were many great parts in your story, but this section was similar to some of my thoughts during that final scene.  'And yeah, I get it… he sacrificed himself to save the world, but fuck… I sold my friggin’ soul and got torn to goddamn ribbons by hellhounds to bring his ass back from the dead.   Don’t get me wrong, I’d do it all again… in a heartbeat. He’s my brother and I love him. But that’s what hurts the most. That’s the wound that just won’t seem to heal… the idea that maybe Sam… my Sammy… just wouldn’t do the same for me.'

It is hard to know what is going on in Sam's head at the moment, but I like how you reminded us of when Sam asked Dean to come with him in the first episode.

I enjoyed reading your story.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

 
Helpless by HappyChaos Rated: K+ starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 8]
Summary:

Dean wakes up alone in a forest badly injured, freezing and trapped.  He needs help but his family left him and help isn't coming.

Set early season one.  Mostly a shamless excuse for Dean whump and the sweet caring Sam that I've come to miss as of late.

It is always nice to see John being written as a father who does love his sons.  

I like how John tried to comfort Sam and help him, yet did call Dean for advice.   I could just imagine how worried Dean would have been and how fast he will arrive back at the motel.

I think this scene would have fit in well with the "Salvation" episode.

Thanks for sharing your story with us.  I enjoyed reading it.



Author's Response:

Wow, how did I miss this review? Oo

I wasn't sure at first if I wanted John to phone Dean, you know? I'm not a fan of stories where John has no idea how to care for his sons since he is said to have been such a bad father. But still, with the visions, that would indeed have been something he wouldn't have any experience with so it was okay. And yeah, I think I would have loved to see that on screen too, JDM cradling JP to his chest.... :D

Anyway, thanks a LOT for your lovely words! :)

O' Death by bjxmas Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 5]
Summary:

6.11 Appointment in Samarra tag - Dean and Death talk further. It was unsettling being in the presence of Death, so close to a Being who could end him with a touch.  Dean was simply a toy to him, an insect, and yet there was something in Death's eyes when he looked at him, something within his tone that spoke of more.

I realize I'm late reviewing on your story, but I just wanted to say thanks for sharing it with us.

I'll admit I do have trouble sometimes reading about Sam leaving for college, but I like how you wrote Dean as he discussed it with his little brother and offering to help. 

You have filled your story with some wonderful tense moments.  I felt sorry for Dean as Sam will be leaving in the spring and in his concussed state he thinks his little brother has already left.  You did a great job of describing Dean's injuries.  Plus if Dean didn't hate rats before, he should now as they tried to eat him after falling through the floor. 

I'm glad that Sam found a way to get to Dean, but curious how Sam will get his brother out of the hole.

I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter and some other stories on this site.  I'm sorry it has been awhile since I visited. 

Until next time, take care.



Author's Response:

Lori

Thank YOU for taking the time to read and review! I'm glad you like and are enjoying the story. I really love pre-series time frame- and delving into Dean's POV when Sam left is one of my favorite.

The injuries plus Dean's concussed brain mixing up reality from delusion when it comes to his brother leaving - was a scenario just too good to pass up. As for the rats- well, I'm just sick that way! LOL

As for how they will get out... you've a couple more chapters to wait...

Thanks again- great to see you!

I found time to finish reading your story.

I kept wondering how Sam was going to get Dean out of the hole or even just leave him long enough to find help.

You had some tense moments as Dean's condition got worse.  I'm glad that John arrived in time to help his boys.  

It was nice that you had Dean see Sam off at the bus station, no angry words, just a goodbye.  We all know the brothers reunite a in few  years, but it is rough knowing that Sam cuts off his family for a while.

You did a great job with the emotional aspects of conversatons between the brothers, though now I'm as depressed as Dean. 

Thanks for sharing a story with us.  Until next time, take care.



Author's Response:

Hey Lori

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I think losing Sam was far more painful than any injury for Dean. He's definately worse for the wear with his family torn apart.

In a way, you've paid me a very large compliment- if a story can effect emotion - such as making you feel a bit depressed- then I kinda feel like it/I did my job. So thanks so much!

I hope you have a wonderful New Year and I hope to see you again soon!

One of my favorite "SN" Christmas stories is "While Shepherd's Watch".  I read it again over the holiday break.  

Thanks for the smile.



Author's Response:

I am glad I could oblige. And welcome back! I haven't been here as often as I'd like, either, this past year. I've missed it.

Oh, you re-read Shepherds? Thank you! I was surprised at how that one came together, actually. I don't usually write in first person, but the idea of an outside observer POV was just too good to pass up. And of course, Grace's issues with her big brother was a nice way to bring in Dean's issues with his little brother, and have the boys not-talk about it - lol. 

Thank you so much for letting me know your thoughts both on Shepherds and on this one. And again, I'm glad I could give you a smile. 

Take care, and I hope your New Year brings peace, joy and blessings in abundance.

 I thought you did a great job with Dean, Sam and Bobby's voices.  I could just imagine Dean and Sam's expressions when facing Bobby who was suppose to be dead.

I love your idea of a "SN"/"Highlander" crossover.   So I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Thanks again for sharing your story with us.



Author's Response:

Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad others are enjoying reading this as much as I'm enjoying writing it.

I just sent chapter three off to my beta and am working on chapter four as we speak. You may be pleased to know that I just mapped out the whole story arc and it'll be about sixteen chapters long with a possible sequel. Turns out once Bobby starts talking to you the guy won't shut up. *grin*

I just found your story to read, so sorry for the late review..  I don't get over to this site as often as I would like too.

I enjoyed the conversation between Duncan and Bobby.  Always nice to have Richie involved too.  I am trying to refresh my memory about this episode.  I remember it, but not all the details.

 I'm looking forward to reading more of your story and how you incorporate Bobby into the world of Duncan MacLeod.

Thanks for sharing another story with us. 



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review. :)

As I've been rewatching HL I've noticed that in several episodes Richie was very accepting of the supernatural, and in this arc Duncan displays some very hunter-like behaviors. So having them bring Bobby in just seemed like an obvious choice.

The episode was called "Archangel" and you can watch it for free on Youtube or Hulu.

The more I write in this 'verse, the more ideas spring up in my mind. For exaple, I just realized that Jim Byrnes (Joe Dawson in HL) made a guest appearance in the Season 1 episode of SPN, "Bugs." Oh yeah, that's gonna be incorporated into a story at some point. *grin*
