I don't remember if it was a Sunbeam or a GE, but man...that thing was TWITCHY!

I've only seen issue one of the comics... the interior art? OMG a blind chicken with ADHD and high on PCP *contemplates aforesaid chicken...shudders* would do better than that! FUGLY man...very, very fugly! Though the cover art is more pleasing.

If John was perfect, would we love him this much *holds hands WAY apart*? 'Perfection' is, like 'Normal', HIGHLY overrated. ;D

*grins* I replied to the deleted one above :-D

Ya know, I don't recall how I located you here, but I do seem to remember reading a couple of your things over at ffnet... I think.

Anyway, I've read this particular one of yours so many freakin' times, I can very nearly recite verbatim. And this:

If it was a weapon, he'd have had it figured out in five minutes, tops. John pondered the idea. Would approaching the toaster as though it was a weapon help? Maybe the bread was the wrong calibre. Maybe the toaster had a switch to take it off full auto. John picked up the toaster, looked at the bottom. No switches of any kind, except the crumb tray release. Not going there again.

Is my all-time favorite paragraph in either of my fandoms. I can so sympathize with the crumb tray release - when I was twelve, I accidentally opened it on the toaster (I think it had been a wedding present for my folks, so it would have been going on twenty) we had. I don't think it had ever been cleaned out - I ended up practically breaded. Those things can be vicious when they're so inclined.

Awww, thank you!

Hee! Yes they can indeed.

Oh, Lord. "Maybe the bread was the wrong calibre." is where I lost it. I snickered madly the whole way through.

I hope you don't mind a random drive-by comment! I stumbled across your stuff and have been poking around your wee!chester fics - they're the PERFECT pallate cleanser for all the gut-wrenching angst I've been reading lately. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the twisted heartstrings - that's pretty much what this fandom is about, right? - but I just wanted to let you know that whenever I need a smile, I come read your fics.

I don't think anyone, anywhere, ever would mind a comment like this one. Thank you! You made my day!

This was recced in storyfinders and I never read it before! Awesome!

Maybe the bread was the wrong calibre. Maybe the toaster had a switch to take it off full auto.

I love how John tries to reason it through!

Glad you liked it, and thanks for letting me know about the rec! I'm quite thrilled.

I'll recommend this fic to spn_bigpretzel as I really love it. I hope you don't mind or you can post it yourself there. Either way, I think this fic needs more readers.

[caffienekitty]

It's fine if you want to rec it, and I appreciate the thought.

[i_sudoku]

Actually most of your fics can go there :)

[caffienekitty]

Yeah, but it'd be presumptuous of me to link them all.
