Okay, so I wanted to address a recent comment you made about this fic/series.... How is this not scary? Dean rapes Jo and it's not scary? I break Dean and it's not emotionally wrenching? Am I losing my touch? Have I failed as a writer???
Obviously, my answer is that you absolutely did not fail as a writer. this fic really hit me. But what really struck me about the piece wasn't how frightening-scary it was, per se, but rather how creepy it felt. Am I making any sense? In my mind, there's a distinction between the two. What really affected me was how disturbing it was, mostly because of the character switch that you pulled on us in the first piece: “Sam?” “Yeah?” At this point, I honestly did a double take. ((Or at least as much of a double take as you can do while reading.)) Completely chilling in that I had to go back and rethink everything that I had just read, and re-interpret all the events. messing with my mind.
And then the change in perspective in the 2nd part... *shivers* You absolutely capture a feeling that I would identify as twisted. Honestly, the switching back and forth, and the smooth-talking-Dean (that I love) exploited for evil purposes?... uhhhh... unnerving and freaky as hell.
So, scary in a ghostly and things-that-go-bump-in-the-night way? Not so much... But definitely spine-chilling and horrifying.
