Can You Say Wow? I Knew That You Could
This recently got posted at Fandom Secrets, which I check every day because it's so dang fun:
And I can say that I don't know when I have been as flattered as this.
Except for my friend amothea bugging me week in and week out, the stories never got a lot of feedback, so I really thought that the two of us were the only ones who liked them. That they were personal guilty pleasures only, and not....well, just not what people wanted. To find that there was at least one other person out there who also liked them, well.
I assure Anon, not at all pathetic, that I do have more stories in my head for this.
One thing I had to be sure of was to not back out of the contract I had set with myself, that John stayed John, and kept being the tough drill sergeant for the summer from hell. And that Dean and Sam remained true to the themselves in this era, somewhat at odds, not quite getting along. It's turned out to be harder than I had thought, to keep it edgy and mean. But I want to write them, I do. Writing Blue Skies took it out of me a bit, but the stories are most assuredly there. In my head.
Thank you again for the tremendous complement in being sad that there have been no updates in over a year. Over a year? I am sad too, now!
Edit: The stories did get a lot of feedback, and a lot of readers liked the darkness and the grit. I guess I always felt that since this verse was so personal to me that....oh, never mind. I'm not even sure what I'm saying now. Foolish writer is foolish and should just write what feels good.
