Roses in December (2/14)

[ratherastory]

The Experiment in Fanfiction™ continues. Not much happening in this chapter, alas. This is me getting a feel for the character I haven't paid attention to, yet. So, uh, yeah. It's a) a whole lot introspective and b) a whole lot of nothing happens.

There'll be more action later, I promise. :)

I love this so much. I love watching Jess and Dean bond, and I love the bacon-bait she offers him :) I really love your Jess, too, strong and awesome and sticking up for Dean. And that last moment -- GAH my heart, POOR SAMMY! *weeps*

Thank you so much for the update. Whatta thrill!

[ratherastory]

Wow that was fast!

I'm enjoying taking my time and exploring Jess and getting a feel for the character. I figure she has to be pretty sharp for Sam to want to marry her. And Dean is easily bribed with bacon. ;)

Poor Sammy. I did the research, though, and having your emotions all over the place after this sort of trauma is totally par for the course.

OH! Ok, Jess is made of win and I love all her impressions of Dean. And Sam, oh I just want to hug him, except I think it would probably hurt. Well done.

And now I should really stop reading fic and actually start editing my bigbang draft so my artist will not run away screaming :p

[ratherastory]

Aww, thanks! I quite like Jess too. :)

I am studiously ignoring my BigBang draft for the moment. My artist hasn't asked me for anything yet, so I think I'm safe...

Squee!

Aw, you broke Sammy for me! Again! I feel so loved.

Seriously, I love the way you get inside these three people living through an incredibly difficult time.

[ratherastory]

Thank you. :)

I'm trying very hard to get into all their heads, and it's kind of a dizzying trip, trying to juggle all three people at the same time, so I'm glad people are enjoying it.

Part of me is kind of anxious to get to the action, and another part of me kind of wants to stay in this spot and root around in their brains some more.

And yes, I broke Sammy. It's an illness, I can't help it. ;)

Oh Sam, I know I should care about Jess, but I just don't. But Dean... m :I

[ratherastory]

Hee! Well, one can't be attached to every character out there, I guess. I like Jess, but that doesn't mean my readers are contractually obligated to like her too. ;)

Uh... I don't know what that emoticon means. Is it good or bad?

Also? I am mesmerized by your icon. Kitty!

[mdlaw]

The emoticon is me pressing my lips together to keep from telling Jess to just "Get the hell out of the way, already!" See I'm trying to be nice. m shrugs

Thanks for the update. I couldn't put off reading it tomorrow. I had to read it tonight and I am soooo happy I did. I can't wait to read more. Until next time, take care and Happy Writing!

Thank you so much!
