updated 11-2008--I dropped by this site to visit once and I ended up staying. I'm not a writer--I'm a reader and I envy all those talented individuals who inspire us with their gifts. My thanks you to all of you! SPVille has grown since those early days when a few writers frequented the site. I'm glad the kind reviews and encouragement has brought others into the fold. I don't visit as often or stay as long now but its still nice to come back.

Supernatural is an obsession of mine. Kripke has a fantastic way of bringing strength, loyalty and love from dysfunction while adding a bit of laughter along the way. What would we all do if we couldn't laugh? (probably cry)

Best parts were when Sam was struggling to decide if he could trust Dean about it being a boogeyman then Dean later asking "do you believe me now?".

And I loved it when Dean rolled over with the scissors---back in the game:)

What story is the bike chain from?? What did I miss????!!

Author's Response:

Thanks again for the props! I'm grinning over here and it's not even too scary to see!

 

Uh... okay seriously... the bike chain incident happened in a fic I wrote called Reprisals.

I don't know how UnGen feels about posting links to other fanwank sites but  if you'd like the link to my FFN page/stories

you can pm me at simplysifi@yahoo.com

or sifichick@comcast.net

Sam's vison was cool. I had to read it a couple of times to figure out who shot who??I think I was caught up in the emo and read too fast---that would freakin screw Dean up!



Author's Response:

Hey GotTheSHining! Glad you're back and Thanks!

I thought it would probably screw Dean up to have shot both Laura and Sam... fortunately in the visions... he didnt' have ot live with it for too long!

And thank God it was only a vision!

:D

Thanks for coming back! happy little ego now...

Hope to see you soon Once I finish posting this and start posting Roads...

gonna be interesting!

Still like it here much better--but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Argh...I forgot how much the ending bothered me. You know, in a "good way." ;)

Sifi, My curiousity is peaked now for Roads. Love your work!-- But hey, you already know that.

GTS



Author's Response:

Awww... *blushing smiley* thanks GTS...

The start of posting Roads has been delayed abit... I'm hoping to have the first chapter up before the month is out... real life threw me a couple curve balls this month so I've had to adjust, but I'm adjusting and Roads will begin to unwind by May... that much I can promise.

 

Thanks for all your heartfelt and selfless support!

Knowing you guys are here has really made a tough time that much easier...

Thanks again!

Now this is a side of the brothers we don't often see.

 
Summary: It doesn't matter who it is. It just matters that it's not both of them. That he's going to save one and probably condemn the other. This destroys him either way.

WOW--good cliff hanger! You did a John justice.

Hurry and post the next chapter....

Author's Response:

It's good that John seemed John-like--he's kind of hard to nail down sometimes.

 I hope chapter two lives up to your expectations :)

I love writing the flashbacks because I can totally let loose and let my imagination wander. I hope that you continue to enjoy!

Author's Response:

LOL GotTheShining!

Sorry to leave you hanging like that, but the chapter was getting too long already. And I figured that was a good a place to end as any!

Another update coming soon!

Love to see Sam and Jess back together even if it is obly for a moment.

Can't wait to see what happens to Dean...really CAN'T wait..post soon.



Author's Response: Ok, I can take a hint...you want a fast update! Good news...I'm writing it right this minute so out should be out in a few days!

The "I love you mom" brought a sniffle....

Still want to see what Dean's life would have been like with out Sam..."that can't have been good."



Author's Response:

I would like to say that I'm glad I made you sniffle, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I really love doing the emotional stuff and I'm glad that it is coming through like it is.

We will catch a glimpse of Dean's life in the next chapter!

OMG Dean turns out just like John!!



Author's Response: You got that right, but even more so. I wanted Dean to become this dark, angry person since he didn't have Sam. I think it could be a very real possibility for him if he didn't have Sam.

Author's Response:

I love a happy ending, too and I am glad that I could deliver it for you!

Thanks for reading!

 
Summary:

He turned, expertly masking the mass of unshed tears and unspoken fears that threatened so very much to burst from his usually strong and controlled person. Expressionless in every aspect save for his eyes, his gaze met Anna Walker’s. A silent message was communicated.

He knew she was telling him first. He appreciated it.

He knew she was asking his permission to say it aloud. He gave it.

He knew he would never be grateful to anyone more than he was to her now. He silently told her so.

He knew she understood.

Their mutual gazes broke apart, and Dean continued to clean his prized guns as Anna relayed the series of events that took place that day at the hospital to Sammy.

Dean knew his younger brother would cry.

Good story line. I like the intertwining of visions. Anna waking up chained to the wall was a real WTH moment.

Dean's embarrassment at the chick flick moment  was pretty funny. "Dude, I did not just say that!"

Looking forward to the next chapter.
