Hee, thank you!

Hi, you wouldn't believe how excited I am that you're sharing another story. :) I can't wait to read this when it's completely posted.

Um speaking of being completely posted, would you by any chance be sharing a single file version of your story when it's posted?

[parenthetical]

Hee, thank you! I hope you'll enjoy it, once it's all posted so you can read it. :D

And of course, I'd be happy to put together a single file once it's all posted. :D Remind me if I forget! Oh, and possibly I should also mention that I'm also posting here at the Archive of Our Own, which currently displays all chapters of a fic on a single page by default. The archive's still a little rough around the edges (we're working on it!) but I figured I'd mention it anyway in case it's easier for you in general. :D

[amothea]

I had no idea you were posting your story in the OTW. :) when it's completed I'm willing to head on over there to download the story as a single file. :)

Thanks so much for pointing this out. :) I really should make an account there myself and start testing out the features. I think there is a way to friend favorite authors??? or tag stuff?

[parenthetical]

Sadly, the archive's still in closed beta, I'm afraid, so you won't be able to make an account yet, just read things. We need to iron out a few more kinks before we open it up properly, hahaha. (Though our lovely testers are slowly building up user numbers by inviting people who leave them feedback on how the archive is looking and what still needs work, so if you'd like an account now, that's your best bet. :D) But yes, it's possible for users to create bookmarks, a bit like delicious, and at some point we're definitely going to add subscriptions, so you can follow specific authors/tags/reccers, etc. I'm very excited about it all! :D

Thank you, I'm happy you're enjoying it so far! :D

I was already thinking this was a very nice casefic, intriguing and well-written, and then the Bela surprise at the end of the chapter took it up another level. Lots of thoughts and speculations going through my head, now--like the fact that Bela's sojourn in hell would have been that much longer than Dean's....

The dynamic between the brothers is very well done. I like the subtlety of it, how it creates emotional texture without overwhelming the supernatural mystery narrative. A delicate balance nicely maintained. I'm really looking forward to seeing how both aspects play out.

Oh, wow, thank you so much for the lovely feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying the casefile so far. And I'm particularly happy that the dynamic between the boys is working for you, as that is always really important to me. :D

Thanks again!
