Reviews for The Land of the Blind
MeAzrael chapter 1 . 9/23/2011
Okay, now I'm officially hooked! I don't know who you are or how you ended up writing pure poetry, but you do - and that's all I need to know. I've only read one other end-verse story so far which intrigued me very much, and your end of the world differs hugely from hers, but I love it. It's dark, it's creepy, it's mysterious and I would give much to learn more about the circumstances - Dean's injuries and scars, Sam's aching soul, children dying on the street and a world without moon ... I'm lacking the right words to tell you how it feels to read your stories, but every word breathes and moves and has a life of it's own. I can't wait to read more. Thanks for sharing!

This is an AMAZING story, I loved it! You are a phenomenal writer! I can't get over how much I loved it. I have been a little addicted to the whole wincest thing recently, but damn, this wasn't just that...its epic, I am hoping that when I add your to my fave author list I will find more you have written. Really really amazing!

Amazing, amazing writing. You're one of a kind, love all your stories, but this time you've outdone yourself- and that's saying a lot.

Any chance of a Dean POV chapter as someone here mentioned, or just a - any- sequel to this dark, gut wrenching world you've created?

I kinda feel like after finishing the Hitchhiker series - can't get over the fact that it's over. Adams can't write anymore, but you can - So please, please do!

having now read all your supernatural things, i would just like to say that you are an amazing writer, and that you will be the first person added to my favourite authors list. :)

a wonderful story, very sad, but somehow there is hope as well. and kudos for the portrayal inside sam's head of post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative amnesia (or something like that), and some sort of post-apocalyptic society. very interesting. please keep up the good work.
Carivan chapter 1 . 10/4/2009
This was so beautiful. Some of the other reviewers mentioned it was depressing - I didn't feel that way when I finished it. It felt kind of like floating on my back in a pool the exact same temperature as my body - I felt like I was floating in nothing, and that was amazing. I never get such strong emotions and feelings from reading, but this one was almost nothing but!

To be redundant, it was beautiful. It was beautiful and broken and yet curiously fixed. You had such depth and breadth in the story that I was lost in it. I've rarely had such a good time being lost. :)
Sotobow chapter 1 . 9/29/2009
Well, hell. I did not expect that to be so good. It's not you - I just haven't read anything worth reading for a while, so I'm still in a bit of a happy haze.

From the opening line of, "The ocean never moves anymore," to the last of, "Finally, finally Sam knows where he is," it was all just PERFECT. I love how you had Sam coming out of his nearly catatonic state, Dean trying his hardest to keep them together, the town, the wall, the people, the relationship between the brothers - I loved it all. Even the blue chair was awesome!

You used really good elaborations, so the mental pictures were vivid, prominent, and overall just fantastic. You did the same thing with the characters, so they practically popped out of the computer screen. I like your original take on the characters; you made them your own while still keeping them how they are on the show. Don't ask me how that works - I'm no writer.

Thanks for the beautiful story! I really hope to see more stuff from you!

I avoid wincest like the plague, seriously it's ABSOLUTELY not my thing.

This was amazingly well written thou, had me cryin like a baby it was so beautifully done. a friend of mine over at LJ put me onto this and told me to read, I didn't realise it was wincest till, well till it happened but it's still an amazing peace of work :D:D
The Drainage chapter 1 . 9/10/2009
Yes. This is exactly what I was looking for. The whole story is an end - a good, terrible end. They have each other, but everything else is over, broken, finished; it's *just* the end left. But they can spend what time is left together.

Fantastic.
esther chapter 1 . 9/8/2009
depressing, yet uplifting and optimistic. brilliant work. i have saved most of your sam x dean fics (mostly the happy ending ones) and i read and re-read them constantly. thank you and i hope to see more of your work! _
Meggin Lane chapter 1 . 9/4/2009
You paint a very scary bleak picture of the possible future life for Sam ad Dean. But woven through the devistating changes is the thread of love that binds Sam to Dean and Dean to Sam. A constant that they can cling to that nothing not even the end of the world can change.

I don't know what's beyond that wall and I don't want to you laid enough of a feeling of dreaddown to dampen all my curiosity.

The physical damage the boys are dealing with has an almost karmic symetry to it. Dean lost his perfect good looks (though by my eyes he'd still be radient) And Sam his great computor like brain had it's hard drive fried and now he stays caught only in the moment; forced to face things on a simpler level. But nothing changes his adoration of Dean, that still thrums through him with all the breadth and depth it ever had.

And I loved how through the way people reacted to Sam upon meeting him (with awe and admiration) that you could tell Dean spoke of him often to every one he met and spoke highly of the man he called his brother.

Great setting, really gave me clear descriptive view of the world that was left.

Thank you
Pandora de Romanus chapter 1 . 9/4/2009
This is too good. Depressing, yes, but awsome, nonetheless. I almost cried a lot of moments. Though I'm REALLY urious to know what happened. And what's beyond the wall. You could tell us. You could write a chapter on Dean's POV. Just to tell us... Please!
SayingYourNames chapter 1 . 9/3/2009
I read this amazing story last night, and didn't have a chance to review - but I am back and ready to lay it down.

This must be the most amazing piece of literature I've read in the past 6 months, and I read a whole lot. This is so far beyond fanfiction, and so much better then this crappy website - stories like these should be published, they should be printed and sold for expensive money!

The story was breath taking, your despcriptive words are surreally perfect. While I was reading the part when Sam first arrives at the Wall, I was instantly eager to find out what was behind it, what they were trying to protect themselves from or keep out. But the fact that you completely left that to our own imagination was probably the best way to go, keeping the mystery to the story.

Your story is so detailed, it's the end of the world, and there's no moon. Just the fact that you put that into the story, that the moon is gone! That's brilliant!

It's got so much depth, and grit to it, I couldn't stop reading - I wanted it to last forever.

I could rant about this story for so long, but I won't - I'm sure you'll have heaps of comments to sort through.

I read everyday that I am living, and you my lovely, is currently my favourite author.

Please, PLEASE keep these amazing stories coming..
Sofi Stree chapter 1 . 9/3/2009
Have I mentioned before that I'm always excited when I see you have another story out? Well, I am. In a strictly, "Yes! More good entertainment!" kind of way. I'm not a naturally hyper person.

Okay, normally I wait until I read the whole story to review, but I have to write stuff down as I see it - there's just too much I like to remember.

First of all, your descriptions are phenomenal. Seriously. Beaches colored like shadows, the description of the ocean, the sand, the food, the house, Sam, Dean, everything. Normally I'm not a description kinda girl, but that's one of my favorite things about your fics.

Second, the atmosphere you create is so vivid that I feel like I'm there. I can't say that with much writing, published or not. I read quite a bit, so I have a fair idea what I like.

"The little house that Dean made for them at the end of everything..." Love that. Awesome way to put it. And I can so see them living there.

There's a shadow of...I dunno exactly, this air of HIDE that's over everything. It's awesome, just to let you know. And in my mind, it's all kinda from Sam's perspective, but Sam's kind of like a smudge, like I can't really see him. Dean's a little sharper. I mean this in a really good way - it fits perfectly with the story, and I was very happy to realize it.

"...there might be secret memories stored in his body that have escaped the holocaust in his mind." Freaking awesome. And I like how no one really believed Sam existed. Psychologically spooky, that is.

"He follows Dean out into the merciless sun, liking the way it scours the top layer off his consciousness." Another good one! There are too many. Maybe I should stop... Also, the whole thing with the powdered cocoa was great.

Holy...that first kiss that they have was hot. That's definitely going on my list of favorites.

"He's been robbed of his mind and his past already, and they can take his arms, his legs, his eyes-just leave him Dean. Sam can get by with just Dean." Geez, heart-jerker.

"He's going somewhere strange just because he's never been. He likes the feeling, wonders if this is the kind of thing he used to do all the time." I like this. Hello, Stanford and other places. Poor Dean.

"...he wonders which there's more of, stars or grains of sand." Like this.

The Wall: pure genius. I tip my non-existent had to you, sir or madam.

All of that and more always combines to make a story that I'm content to just sit and read. I don't think about it being over, I don't think about where I am, it's just me and the story. That is a rare treat, so thanks.

One penultimate thing: This was so awesome, and if you ever decide to write it, I would love another story in this universe. I'm dying to know what exactly happened (I've got a pretty good idea, though).

Last thing: Sorry about the long, long review, but I've got time to kill and this was friggin' great.

Thanks for the fic.
