So good. Much with the Bobby love. Good job.

Thank you! (First comment yah!) Bobby was fun to write.

Finding a well-crafted, three-dimensional piece in this fandom that's not centered around a Winchester is hard enough, but Bobbyfic takes the cake. Full of his solitude and particular brand of smarts, and all of the wonderful insticts and insight we've come to love about him. Absolutely gorgeous.

I am so pleased you liked. I really enjoy reading and writing fic about the Winchesters, but it's great to find that they aren't the only things out there.

Thank you for the great feedback.

This is skillfully crafted, and I'd love to see it posted over at singer_salvage when regulations permit you to reveal yourself.

hossgal August 22 2007, 04:29:32 UTC

Thank you! I think I can manage that!

(The story will get posted to an archive in the next day or two. If you want to put up a link to the story here, feel free.)

*makes note to go read other Bobby fics*

I don't usually read Bobby fics, but this one got me from the beggining. Bobby is 100% in character and the whole thing feels like canon. Loved every word of it.

hossgal August 22 2007, 04:32:14 UTC

I'm glad you liked it! "Feels like canon" is high praise in my book. And I got you to try something new! yah!

It's cheating because it's about a dog...and not just a dog, but three of them. And two of them die. So it's cheating, I just want you to know, before I tell you that I have tears in my eyes at work (and yes, I'm reading fic at work, but it's a slow day) and my stomach feels awful and pit-like and it's all because of this gorgeously crafted story.

This is one of those fics that, if you cared to change the names and add a few character-identity details, you could publish this as an honest-to-goodness short story. It also made the impossible happen -- I kinda hated the Winchesters. Dog-killers!

I would love to know what Bobby might have named the new puppy.

I'm supposed to apologize now, right? And maybe say I'm sorry?

And I think I'm supposed to say that it wasn't exactly Sam and Dean's *fault* that the dogs kept getting killed.

I'm not sure what to say about making this into an original fic story - to me, it depends on canon that we know. However, I'm not saying that the suggest didn't please me greatly.

What do *you* think Bobby should name the puppy?

rillaotvalley August 22 2007, 18:51:34 UTC

Oh no...no apologies. :) Hell, you can probably still bask in the afterglow of my love for your fic. Truly, I'm gonna rec this left and right now.

Yeah yeah yeah...they weren't actually responsible for the dog deaths. *grudgingly accepts that* Still...gah...dog death just tears me up.

As for the puppy's name...how about "Norman"? Since Bobby seems to have a thing for secretaries and generals.
