pj! I remember wishing one of your stories would be finished seriously about a decade ago. Amazing. I just tried an old password I used to use and amazingly got in too. Memories!

Reviews For Running Wild
Reviewer: Magda Anonymous Date: 11/18/2013 - 10:37 pm Title: Chapter 10

Wonderful!

The other dimension was very well done.

Thanks!



Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Reviewer: ScarlettDuck Signed Date: 10/03/2013 - 02:17 pm Title: Chapter 10

I adore this, as I adore your writing. Dialogue is sparkling and concise; wish I knew how to do that!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! Joss is a genius when it comes to dialogue, so I’m trying to do mine the way he would. :)

I loved this story. I really loved your Spike--strong, confident, smart, sexy and in charge--WITHOUT being all dark and evil. Like the reviewer before me, I also was kind of hoping he would return to the other dimension. Lol.

Your stories are all so wonderful. I truly hope you will find the time to write more fanfiction even though I wish you the best out there in the world of published original fiction!

Author's Response: I love writing about Buffy and Spike, so I will be sneaking in some more Spuffy stories once I get a backlist of original stories built up. My original ones are about Shifters too, just like ‘Running Wild’, but in our world. :) Thank you for liking my work!

Reviewer: D Anonymous Date: 03/20/2011 - 04:59 pm Title: Chapter 10

loved the story all though part of me was rooting for Spike to go back to the other dimension.

Author's Response: Without Buffy? :D He wouldn't have been happy. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Truly enjoyed it! I noticed "Revenant", so first read "Pinch Hitter" (that I'd somehow missed). Read those two, then most of your others... some I realized I'd read already (but read again, just for fun), some I did realize I'd already read (and had really liked--- were classic Spuffy fic!) and I wrapped it up reading this one. A great, joyfully ending romp--- with a few truths and true lessons thrown in for Spuffy and the Scoobies, and even us the readers! Gotta love it, when fic makes us *think*!!! Gotta rec this one from now on!
This would make a great stand-alone fantasy tale even if it weren't Spuffy/BtVS/AtS in any way.
Oh, and loved the way you portrayed the "magelettes"/our witches! Very Sweet. And Anya! Was great to see her bloom. Too bad Xander (and the end the other two stooges) "chose" to "portray" 'themselves' (with a li'l help from Dreamweaver, snicker) as such asses! Xander seems to rarely have an 'in-between'--- he is either a love, faithful, loyal, stalwart (but could get a dog to do *that*, snicker) OR he's a bigotted jackass (no libel intended toward jackasses, tho') with a motormouth problem, no cajones to back up his bullying (rarely, unless he's written as a sadist or pervy), living to belittle others/other beings to make himself seem better. But, herein, his persona worked, for him to learn a lesson the HARD way.
Thanks for a great read!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! I belong in your 2nd group about Xander - the one that sees him as a bigoted jackass. :D I was harder on him here than I usually am, to give Anya an even stronger reason than in canon to dump him. I like Anya and wanted her to have someone who really loves and values her for once. A couple of people really got mad about the way I depicted him, notably one long-time fanfic writer with many stories and fans to her credit. She told me on LJ that the story was bad from start to finish and that every single characterization was totally unbelievable. All stemming from the fact that she apparently is a Xander fan. It was a wonderful vindication when the story won Best Long at the Fang Fetish Awards! You're one of the most discerning reviewers I have and I'm so glad you liked the story and the characterizations! I'm hoping to end up published in the end and the Shifters are a major element in a whole original non-BtVS work.

Reviewer: spuffy chick Anonymous Date: 08/20/2009 - 07:27 pm Title: Chapter 10

another great story!!! you're a very good writer! :)

Author's Response: Thank you! This was a lot of fun to write!

Reviewer: nmcil Anonymous Date: 07/02/2009 - 01:04 am Title: Chapter 10

Read this some time ago - I really enjoyed the treatment of taking all of them into another dimension - wonderful way to bring in new characters and exotic locations - and I loved how you set up you realm with those wonderful shape shifters and magics and animal social structures that are a little like those we recognize in our own world. That really helped to connect the lessons that Buffy and the Sunnydale group needed to learn.

I think Xander could have had a little more layered treatment but he was such a blockhead so many times in the series - and his not learning anything from his experience does add to the contrast of growth.

Author's Response: Thank you for liking it! New dimensions open up so many possibilities and are so much fun to play with. I know Xander was one-note, but I wanted Anya to have a clear reason to leave him and I also needed a voice of negative opinion on their trip. Xander filled the bill so perfectly. And in canon he never learns anything until Season 7 after he loses Anya. He'll be more layered in the sequel.

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/21/2009 - 07:57 am Title: Chapter 10

Oh, this was splendiferous! Loved EVERYTHING about the alternate universe - wot a world, full of happy cats! I am sooo glad your Buffy did the right thing, even tho it was probably it was probably as difficult for her to look thru a right smart lot of research material as it was to stand up for Spike. Please have a sequel. And if I might have one more request - at some point will you let Angel be on Spuffy's side? Please? Surely there is a part of him who loves our Spike? I mean, Spike? How could he not, really?

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I am working on a sequel, plus an original story with the Quenya being Shifters in our world. I don't know about Angel being pro-Suffy! His interactions with Spike, both as Angelus and as Angel in canon, are always so nasty and he treated Spike so shabbily in Season 5 of AtS. He's not a bad guy, but I can't see him ever being reconciled with Spike being the one who Buffy loves. But I can see him perhaps saving Spike's life while still resenting his relationship with Buffy. Will that be enough? :D

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/20/2009 - 03:33 pm Title: Chapter 8

"It's only wrong in Sunnydale, Pet; it's not wrong her." Oh, Spike. You are just perfect. *sigh* (Open mouth to say something else. No words adequate) *another sigh*

Author's Response: Oh, yeah, Spike really is perfect! :D I'm so glad you're enjoying this!

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/20/2009 - 03:10 pm Title: Chapter 7

I love this world! Have the Scoobies visit it again. I am so glad to see Anya having girly fun; all work and no play makes Anya a dull capitalist.
Oh, and by the way ,great first- time -sex scene with the stars of our show~

Author's Response: I really wanted Anya to have someone who appreciates her as she is! And I'm so glad you liked the sex-scene. They're the most fun to write!

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/20/2009 - 09:47 am Title: Chapter 5

I get a kick out of Spike and Anya conversations. Espcially when Buffy gets so MAD!!! Hey, Slayer, I think you have a Green-eyed Monster inside you. Does it fangs?

Author's Response: A little competition always helps. :D Buffy probably wishes she did have fangs!

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/20/2009 - 09:43 am Title: Chapter 4

I love this demension; it is so cool. Really exciting when the Mage told Buffy she had been "taught strangely...how can you breath...with so little air?" And THEN he tried to get her to explain Spike. Which, of course, she could not!

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you like this dimension! I'm trying to learn how to create believable alternate worlds. And someone had to make Buffy think and Lioslath seemed the right one.

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/19/2009 - 02:33 pm Title: Chapter 2

Okay, this is good stuff! But I like your Tara so much, I almost want HER to end up Spiked! Erm, sorry about the politically incorrectness. not.

Author's Response: I do love Tara! She'd be good for Spike. But let's face it - Spike belongs with Buffy and Tara with Willow.

Reviewer: BuffyConvert Anonymous Date: 06/19/2009 - 08:25 am Title: Chapter 1

I tried to send a comment and it didn't take. Anywho, I'll try again. Great story so far - love Spike's internal dialogue. You write so smoothly - I feel as if I'm watching them in full color!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I want people to feel as if this was a new episode of the show. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: wdlwbt Signed Date: 04/03/2009 - 07:28 pm Title: Chapter 10

I loved it! Very well written. I only wish there was more. Thanks for sharing :)

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm working on a sequel, so there will be more. But it will take a little while since I have to finish another WIP first.

Reviewer: Blackoberst Signed Date: 02/07/2009 - 10:05 am Title: Chapter 10

wow, you truly are gifted. This story has been good to the last drop, if I might use that analogy. Simply wonderful.

Author's Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I'm experimenting with longer stories and different worlds.

Reviewer: Zyachta Anonymous Date: 02/06/2009 - 02:23 am Title: Chapter 10

I don't review that many stories, but this story kept my interest from beginning to end. The other dimension was well developed and the culture of the shifters was great. The only thing I would like to have seen would have been more chapters, I was sorry to see the story end.

Thanks for allowing me to share in your adventure, I enjoyed every word of it.

Zyachta out

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you! I'm working on a sequel, so there will be more chapters set in this dimension.

Reviewer: notwhomever Anonymous Date: 02/03/2009 - 01:01 pm Title: Chapter 10

BRAVO, once I started reading I couldn't stop till the *all to soon* end.
Very well written, I loved how you set Anya free.
Your original characters and the world they inhabit are interesting, strong enough to be in their own stories. if you ever write more of this world, even without the Spuffy, let me know. I would enjoy reading it.

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I'm trying to learn how to write believable other worlds. And I really wanted Anya to have someone who truly valued and cared for her. I'm writing a sequel and hope to have more of the Quenya world posted soon. I hope you'll like that too!

Reviewer: sister cuervo Anonymous Date: 12/20/2008 - 10:57 am Title: Chapter 10

Amazing writing with a delicate touch for love & romance as well as very lusty scenes. Love to read more by you!

Author's Response: Oh, thank you so much! I really think the love and romance is essential for the lusty scenes to work. I'm so glad you liked it! I'm already working on the next and hope to have it completed soon.

Reviewer: sta Anonymous Date: 12/19/2008 - 10:15 pm Title: Chapter 10

I loved the other dimension you created. The characters and world were rich and intriguing. Great job. Thanks.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm trying to learn how to write believable other worlds. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: Suzanne Anonymous Date: 12/18/2008 - 10:36 pm Title: Chapter 10

Such a beautiful story. So many things to love; great dialogue and characterizations, a completely compelling new world and very erotic sex scenes. My favourite thing was how the characters grew and developed, while still keeping to their expected emotional responses. It felt... true. Most of all, I loved, loved, loved this portrayal of Anya. I was cheering her all the way. All of your stories are great, but this one is masterful. Fantastic!

Author's Response: Thank you for feeling that the characters were true! I really wanted this to seem like a new episode on the show. And I really wanted Anya to have someone love and value her for once. I'm so glad you liked it!

Reviewer: Soul of the Rose Anonymous Date: 12/12/2008 - 02:09 pm Title: Chapter 10

*Applauds* GREAT ending. Love the way you developed all the characters & showed their growth - especially Buffy. So great seeing her stand up for herself & Spike. "Fuck you, Boys." - Priceless!

Wonderful story start to finish. I'll be looking for more work from you now. Bravo!

Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted them all to grow, even Xander. I'm thinking of writing a sequel which would take Xander the rest of the way. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! Writing Spuffy lets me learn to write alternate realities and you'll probably find more dimensional jump stories coming up in future. :D

Reviewer: Soul of the Rose Anonymous Date: 12/12/2008 - 01:27 pm Title: Chapter 8

What a beautiful writer you are. Love the sweetness of them together & the freedom you've given them in this place. Sigh. I hate to think of them going back...but I'm curious to find out what will happen when they do. Another great chapter!

Author's Response: I wanted Buffy to see how good they could be together. I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you!

Reviewer: Soul of the Rose Anonymous Date: 12/12/2008 - 01:13 pm Title: Chapter 7

WooHOO! Way to end a chapter, DW! That was incredibly hot & sensual. A very nice culmination of all that delightful tension. Beautiful.

Author's Response: That was so much fun to write! And after making everyone wait for so long, I had to give them something to really enjoy! Thank you for liking it!

Reviewer: quirks Anonymous Date: 12/12/2008 - 02:37 am Title: Chapter 10

aw! a sweet and gripping tale.
also, go anya! woo hoo!

Author's Response: Thank you for liking it! I really wanted Anya to be cherished for once!
