(watching TV on DVD) That's how I am catching up on all the episodes I missed. If you can do that where you are, I suggest doing it because so far the show has been fantastic.

To be honest I kind of fell behind halfway through this one because I started to get really bogged down by other things and never finished it, so now that its story of the month (and my schedule just opened up a bit) I'm going to attempt to finish it sometime this month.
I still have yet to see an episode of SN though. But seriously for any other non SN fans for a crossover fic it is pretty easy to follow even if you aren't familair w/ Supernatural.

Thanks Mellz! I know what you mean though, I'm supposed to be reading Moppy's fic (and my personal aim is to get it done by this week) but work isnt letting me too many free time to read in peace, i hate when that happens.

Actually it really wasn't so much Sarah as it was your guys' stories, "Monster In My Closet" and "Children Like Me".
I'm actually only half way done with your story so far but both of these stories really depict the characters so well that I just had to see for myself if the Whinchester brothers were that fun on screen. And they are, I love it so far. My husband really liked it too hehe. We're watching the series together now. So chalk up two more converted SN fans -lol.

So I spent all morning finishing this story and I want to thank Mare for picking it. (and Mersey for writing it of course ;)) I think it is my favorite of all the featured stories so far. I think what I liked about it the most was how well Mersey wrote the characters. (Backstreet Boys and Winchester Boys alike.) Each one had their own flair and you did a wonderful job of making them sound like the boys that we all know and love.
I loved the brotherly theme throughout the whole story and especially loved how you paralleled the relationships of Brian and Nick with Sam and Dean and also the similarities between Kevin and Dean. It gave the story deapth beyond just what you needed to know for it all to make sense.
The story was just wonderful and it made me actually start watching Supernatural. I don't think Sarah is the only poster child here -lol.
The only thing for me was that I never fully understood the visions. They were a little confusing every time I read them. Not enough for me to not understand whats going on, but I wasn't able to picture how they all came together at the end. Does that make any sense? I'm probably alone here, because my dislexic self gets confused a lot when I read and I have to read things over and over sometimes. SO I'm sure everyone else had no problems and if someone wants to explain it to me who's read it, that would be cool. Not in this thread of course because it would give it away for those who haven't read it yet.
Anyway, I'm rambling again. I loved the story! And I love this thread because its motivating me read things that I wouldn't normally read and so far I've been thrilled! I also think that reading things that are a little out of my norm might be why I've been writing things a little out of my norm too. Interesting... (you just watch Mare, before long I won't be writing fluff romance anymore.) ok that's not true... I'm a sap and always will be, but maybe I won't ONLY be a sap. ;D
Congrats again Mersey! Loved the story! and I'm excited that I don't hate Jensen Ackles anymore because now he can be Dean and not Jason!!! Yay!!!

Yay for more SN fans! Aww, thanks for enjoying my story, too, Kelly! It's nowhere near as good as CLM because CLM is the ultimate for SN/BSB fics!
Psst...Mers... I updated Monster in the Closet for you!
