Hon this is awesome. I love the continual theme of the song that you weave throughout the whole thing - and bring it back to steps and feet at the end.

Your glow in the dark drabble, with high Sam dancing away was esp. visual image.

And Dean getting hurt playing Guitar Hero - why can I see that so clearly! ;)

I love how you've cleverly made these all into one theme, one story. You are very clever indeed. Great!

[deirdre_c]

YAY! *beams* I'm so glad you like it, m'dear!

The Sam-at-the-club one was one of my favorites, too. I love the idea of Dean stealthy and watching him, of all the secrets they keep from one another.

Dean got hurt because he was trying to execute a perfect Pete Townshend windmill move. Whatta dork. :D

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, my partner in drabble crime! ♥

Oh this is just wonderful! I love what you did with my prompt *clutches heart*. You are brilliant to have woven these into a story - it's like light shining on different aspects of the boys' love. Can I ask how you write it? Did you start writing drabbles for the prompts, and then get the thematic link, or did that come first?

[deirdre_c]

*glee* Oh, J, I'm so delighted that you liked it!! Yours particularly and the whole together. (I figured you wouldn't mind not getting something salacious for your "feet" prompt.) Thank you so much for the feedback! <3<3<3

When people started giving me the prompts, I noticed a few had a musical theme (guitar hero, singing competition, "Bitchin Camaro") and I thought I might make a story out of those, but then I figured what the heck and wanted to see if I could work out a way to use ALL of them. So it was just a little game I played with myself to fit the more random ones in!

Oh, very cool! I love the progression. And Dean letting Sam 'dance' by having Sam stand on his feet...love that.
Good stuff!

[deirdre_c]

YAY! Thanks, m'dear! It was fun to figure out how to fit all the pieces into one big picture. (And the dance-on-the-feet routine has a long history in my family. *joy*)

So, so glad you liked it! :)

This is wonderful - and so very clever. Not only to weave all those prompts together but to make each one 100 words. Each "snap shot" was so beautiful - I particularly liked Sam "glowing" on the dance floor - but actually I loved it all. Awesome. Thanks.

Oh, thank you so much, darlin'! Your feedback makes ME all glowy! *g* I haven't written anything in so long, it was nice to stretch the muscles a little bit! :)

[balefully]

*_*! AMAZING. Wow, I am very impressed at the way you wove them all together, and HELLO RENTBOYS!SAM/DEAN. HOLY SHIT. <3333! You only just mashed my buttons with a HAMMER!

[deirdre_c]

EeeeeEEE! I'm so glad it worked for you, babygirl! Your capslock o' love MAKE MY DAY! :D:D:D

(Tell me you wouldn't ask for a threesome too, if you saw THEM on the street corner. Yum yum.)
