And most of the feedback seems to be dated soon after the story is first posted.... there's really no reason I can't add to the chorus several months later, is there?

None at all. I recently came under the thrall of SGA, and I've been hitting up the rec lists like a mofo, leaving feedback on stuff that's been up for over a year in some cases. Folks seem pretty thrilled to know that other people are continuing to read their stuff.

Hi Fay! I have a suspicion that Jensen Ackles had the childhood everybody dreams of. His parents raised him to be softspoken and polite, helpful, thrifty, brave and true.* I ran across an old interview from when he was--what, twelve? where he was asked if he was stranded on a desert island, would he choose Simpson, Biel, or Alba. And he gallantly replied, "Gotta be the former co-star."

• this is based on nothing but an observed sort of behavior familiar to southern families, and should in no wise be construed as anything other than the sheerest moonshine of opinion.

I am sort of embarrassed to appeal to the thread for help. I've been trying to mark and add to memory stories that I know I'll want to read again, but one seems to have slipped through the cracks, and I hope someone here has read it and can point the way. I've spent three days trying to find it.

I don't remember the author, but its SPN gen (looked there), post IMToD. The boys are staying with Bobby, use a spell and a golem to send Dean into hell to bring back John. It works, but he's comatose, so they set him up at Bobby's and take shifts watching him, tending to IVs, feeding tube, bed-changing, etc. Dean starts to feel they got him out of hell, that's enough, and they should let him go, pull the plug. Bobby and Sam want to wait and give it time. And one day John's eyes pop open. Sam, thinking it's an unconscious reflex, closes them. They reopen, and then cross, and John puffs up his cheeks and sticks out his tongue...

Anybody? Holli's story made me think of it, and I sort of want to file them together, if I can find it again.

I still randomly get comments from time to time on stories I wrote years ago via LJ and/or email, and it always just makes my day.

Oh, yes. I love this.

I wish S2 Dark Angel had a different title than the first season, because it very much is a very different show, since the different (and much more talented) producers brought in a lot of different supporting cast and complicated the plot and made things very much better. Not to mention, Ackles.

Oh, I've read this, which means it's probably on esorecs or one or two other places--lemme look.

Eta: darn- didn't see it on my first go round. I'll keep trying though.

or am iPod?

Not a pod person, I hope.

Thanks, Lee. I've gone through Delicious and found Oh! so many new-to-me stories, and back several months through spn_gen on LJ. If I could remember the author it would help a lot.( sh'yeah!) I've also back-surfed through about eight likely suspects, finding more good stuff along the way. But no luck yet. I'll keep at it, too.

Looking in esorecs made it clear there's some stuff there I missed and need to go read at some point, once I get all the way through my mountain of fic.

I've read that one, too, but I have no idea who it was by.

I've also read it. I also have NO clue.

Heh.

Morgana, feedback has no rules! Which rules!

Sometimes I manage to be clever or at least creative, (err, like the time on Feedback Friday on Silverlake when I was very tipsy and gave everything I'd read that week a rating based on Naked Paul Gross) but usually, it's just flailing and "well done!"

Also, I like Max. I know I'm alone in this, but I like Max.
