huh, never thought I'd see a believable story involving a blind girl but you're stories have a way of making everything seem plausible and almost make weird commonplace. You have a rare talent and thank you for your hard work! Great job!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review.  Faith has always been one of my favorite characters, glad you enjoyed!! ;) Kel

LOL wow. You're great. I'm from Iowa and wether you meant to or not you just described a little piece of home for me :D Wonderful story, you're doing great and your right. Had to laugh at your bio but you're dead on there as well LOL

Author's Response:

Hi Ryla,

 

Love your name!  I was very surprised and thrilled to get your review!  I'm glad you picked up on the mid-west vibe I was going for.  That means I did it justice.  My story actually takes place in a little town in Iowa where I live.  Hee! You'll see lots of references to real places in the state if you read more of this series.  As for the bio...I don't even remember what I wrote but I'm glad it entertained you.  I'll have to go back and read it.  Thanks again for the nice review.

 

Hugs,

Shannon

Wow. Cage fighter Dean. This is a story that kept me on the edge of my seat. The fight scenes were believable, the characters in line with the early seasons of SPN; all I can say is wow. I know fight scenes aren't the easiest and I know some martial arts and I can be very critical of some 'fights' that are typically done in fanfiction but you have succeeded in wowing me. This is going to be a favorite of mine. Thanks for all the hard work.

Author's Response:

Thank you for reading! I like action, reading, watching, writing.

Sequel to 'Bearer of all light'

The book is buried, and the brothers are on the road again. But nothing is ever simple for the Winchesters. With Dean's ever increasingly strange behaviour and Bobby's news of a new and very human threat, Sam must strive to save his brother from more than just the supernatural.

This has got to be, in my opinion, THE best Stanford years story I have read to date. It's heartfelt, extremely plausible, something I could easily imagine happening. Great job, great story.

Author's Response:

That is high praise indeed - it was such a nice surprise to see your review. Glad you enjoyed it.

I was enjoying your story so much that for a moment I forgot that english isn't your native language! Great job! Thanks for your hard work on the story :D

Author's Response:

Thank you! I wrote it such a long time ago, I think (or hope) I could do better now. Thanks for letting me know that one can still enjoy this story :)

 
Summary:

In the aftermath of events in Cheyenne. Sam takes Dean to Bobby's to recuperate and for some much needed down time away m angels, demons and the threat of the looming apocalypse. A mysterious death in Bangor, Maine garners their interest. Arriving in Bangor they find the body count is rising. It appears someone is using some ancient spell work and a brass ornament of The Three Wise Monkey's to murder.
What is the connection between the victims? Can the culprit be found and stopped before more people meet the same fate? Or will the brothers become the next victims?
Set in season 4. After 4:16 On the Head of a Pin. Spoilers for season 4!!!

You don't know how long I've looked for a good Dean-with-Amnesia story and they're just not out there. I've found one with Sam and several with them separated from childhood but not adult trauma-induced amnesia. Thank you for filling that void! LOL More please!

Author's Response:

Hi Ryla

Thanks so much for reading and for reviewing. I'm pleased you are enjoying my amnesia story. I've been wanting to write since I started with fan fiction but feeling that it had been done to death I haven't until now.

You are the lucky one cuz you have 2 more chapters to read to catch up.

Happy reading and please review more chapters. Reviews make me write faster. LOL!!

I hope to hear from you soon?

Great job on a great story! I've been following this one on FF.net as well, under the same pen name for reviews. Can't get the hang of live journel and don't care for it. You've done a great job on this story though and the timing is perfect :D Thanks for your hard work!

Author's Response: Thank you!  Yes, I remember seeing your name over on FF.net.  I don't have my fanfics on Live Journal.  I mostly set up one of those up just to ramble about various things.  I don't spend much time there.  Don't see the need to post my fics all over the place.  Two sites are hard enough to keep up with!  I appreciate your support.  Hope you'll tune in for the last installment next week!  :)

 
Summary: In which the Winchesters get into a tight spot. Again. And Bobby has to save the day. Also again.
