May your weekend be relaxing and fortify you with peace and love to carry you through whatever challenges get thrown at you next week. <3

This is an incredible blessing, I thank you for it! I have a lot of challenges next week, seeing as how I’m being moved to a new work contract with a TON of new training to be done for the next month, and I’ll also be experiencing my first time as an assistant director at an extremely large anime convention next weekend (I was only normal staff for the past 16 years), and probably lots of other stuff. Anyway, I definitely need the boost, so thank you! 😀

You’re beautiful and I’m so glad you’re here!

Gosh, thank you! I’m glad I’m here, too! I wouldn’t know anons like you if I wasn’t, and that would be tragic! 😀

OH MY GOD WHERE THE CRACKS FORM IS MY NEW FAVORITE FIC OF ALL TIME I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT I NEVER THOUGHT PERFECTION COULD BE REACHED BUT IT HAS GGBEJSKSBALAOSJMXLXJ no but seriously I love EVERYTHING about it it’s so creative and imaginative and it truly takes you to another world and I am so excited for the next update!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, it’s beautiful

Oh, my gosh, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I’m having such a good time worldbuilding this story, and it’s so great to write! I can’t speak to its perfection, but I’m so happy you love it that much! Seriously, that’s such an incredible compliment! The next update should be coming really soon, though that depends on how long I can keep power here thanks to the hurricane.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I missed Fanfic Author Appreciation Day! I want to thank you for being both a bright spot with your stories and in the fandom. I don’t know how you stay so friendly and strong and supportive all the time, but I’m glad that you do! And glad that you write those beautiful no angst fics!

Gosh, thank you so much! I really do try my absolute best to be a bright spot! And I’ll give you the real answer:

Literal decades of therapy and medication. I’ve come to the conclusion that all of that mental work since I was kid isn’t so that I’ll be cured, because I won’t be. It’s so that fewer things can ruin my day or my positive outlook.

I want to share that. And I believe that pain doesn’t need to precede pleasure. That suffering doesn’t have to come before happiness to be appreciated. It often does because that’s the human condition, but it’s all meaningful.

Plus, I want everyone I love (which is all of you) to be happy! Even if just for a few minutes reading my fics or trawling my blog. 😀

I think S1 Dean would agree, but S12 dean might not

That’s a fair point, anon. Maybe I’ll save the family business until she’s older. Like… seven or so. ;D

You are a beautiful light, and you are loved.

Aw, thank you! I feel unworthy of such praise, but that’s why I try to remain positive all the time so I can always be happier and spread that as much as possible because, darned if it isn’t too easy to be the opposite! 😀

You’re a great author and cool person!! I love your works. Anyone taking the time out of their day to say anything negative about such thoughtful and well-written stories needs a new hobby. I’m new to the fandom but I consider you a big fandom author <3 <3

Thank you, I do appreciate this! 😀 It’s nice to see the support in the midst of a shit storm. I almost missed it hahahahahahaha!

I just want to say, No Righteous Path is beautiful. It’s especially sweet and impactful to me because I am 34. Not too old mind you but I restarted my life when my kids and I got rid of my abusive ex husband of nine years a couple years ago and I am really hesitate to date. Part of me feels that “am I too old? If I don’t at least start now, what’s it going to be like in a year? Two? Five?” But the balance and easiness of Dean and Cas’s courtship/relationship reminded me it doesn’t matter. 1/2

That if something comes along and it’s right, it’ll be there. If not, fuck it. So thank you. The story was engaging, sweet, and most especially it felt (and this is weird to call it) kind. It felt like a friend making me feel better with a cup of tea and a story. 2/2

You know, this is really meaningful to me because I’m a 35 divorced single mom myself, and I keep “almost” dating a lot, and deciding it’s not right. And I’ve been doing that for almost 5 years now, and feel kind of the same. Like, “what if I’m aging out of this? Dating and marriage is for the young.” But I know it’s not just me, and lots of times I do feel there’s someone out there that’ll get to me eventually if I keep myself open.

On the other hand, loneliness is a lot better than having someone around just because I don’t want to be by myself.

I wrote the story because I’ve seen stuff like that happen before, and I do like to give people hope if they feel like me sometimes. It’s not the end of the world, and I truly believe that it’s never too late. 😀 I’m glad it helped, and I’m glad it resonated with you in a realistic way! Fics can be as cathartic to the reader as they are to the author, and nothing makes me happier than hearing when it does!

Hey JJ. I want to say that I’m catching up on SPN this season, and I am supremely upset about Mick dying. By some bitch ass Ketch no less! How did you deal with it? ]:

Well, lemme tell you something. I have a treatment plan for when SPN does things like this. The first thing I did was scream obscenities at my television for a few minutes. Then I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Grabbed me a Modelo Negro, and drank that. Then I sat on the couch pouting and ignored the fact that Mick and his impressive facial hair were gone. Thanks for asking!
