I love all the scenes of people getting dragged down, especially Cheryl, very very scary.
Oh, wow, that's fantastic. I loved creating all these original characters and Cheryl's part was interesting to write because she has so much lifestory and I liked building that up to her very gory death because I'm terribly evil. So I'm glad it was scary.
Do you mind if I put this up on my recs list? Everyone should read this!
Mind? Good heavens, I'm honored. :-)

This is one hell of a story, and amazing craftmanship both in language and plotting out.
Personally, my favourite part is how you actually freaked me out in the monster scenes. How you gave just the right detail to imagine what she looked like, but not all of it, that is always worse.
Just...love.

Good god, that is awesome to hear, especially as I drama-llama'd my way through this, tortured my poor beta Ignited with many, many questions, mainly ending with "this sucks, doesn't it?" The story's so different for me because it's this huge thing, I'd thought of it as "this is my double-episode of SPN with a bigger budget and a huge cast of supporting characters. With Very Important Bondage."

I have a very clear image of what my mermaid looks like but I never wanted to depict her clearly, because I thought she'd look a little scarier without getting too graphic, so it's fabulous that you felt that way. The monster scenes were originally written very out of order, I know I wrote the beginning scene (which...wasn't decided to be the ( ... )

And yes, not fully describing her but just hinting (the silver, the green, what she's not or should have been but isn't rather than what she is..) uh boy...it freaked me out. And I'm a kid that grew up in horror stories. It takes a specific kind of atmosphere to freak me out.
(Also? *laughing* I was going to ask you if I could friend you cuz I can safely surmise from this story that your writing kicks ass, but you did beat me to it.)

Cool that you got the atmosphere that I was going for - because the thing about the water (as someone who spent many-a-summer ON the water as a kid), it's the inability to SEE anything, oh that's the scary thing. It's why Jaws succeeded.
I mean, I loved jumping off my grandparents' boat into the Atlantic and never really feared getting "attacked" by anything, but the feeling of being in the water and the realization that you can't get somewhere safe, oh, it's hella spooky.

I'm with Dean - Florida sucks. :)
I love him bonding with unlikely people, and Sam losing his ass at poker, and all the little asides in Sam's head about Dean, and then the monster, pricking away at her worshipers and at *Dean* and...
Oh, and lusting after the speedboat and apologizing to the Metallicar and 'wake me up in a week' and...
Yeah, just a ton of fun. Good stuff!

*g* I love these things as well. I'd been nervous about the Marcos+Dean BFF thing, it felt natural to do because Dean's just chill about that.

Dean loves his car and he totally has to apologize for straying, you don't need any other kind of vehicle once you've got yourself a Metallicar. wake me up in a week is care of my lovely beta, Ignited, so on her behalf, I thank you very much.
