Title: Epilogue
Hilarious, well-written, excellent character development, perfect voices... thanks for sharing this one! I love the original premise using Anya, who I feel is usually under-loved in Spuffy fiction. And this might just be my favorite Spuffy story, for real.
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I love Anya- I don't know why more people don't play with her. :D

Title: Epilogue
I loved your story thanks for writing it. Just wish it had been longer.
Author's Response: Sorry! But that was as much as I could write without it becoming overly cheesy. :D I am hoping that more people will write time travel/bodyswap fics, though... :)

Title: Epilogue
Interesting and original take on time switching. Nice to see the sympathetic treatment of Anya's character. Aah Buffy - older but wiser, we all knew she'd get there eventually, even if it was a little late.
Anyway thanks for a sweet and entertaining tale.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Anya's such a great character, I loved being able to tackle her in this fic. ;) Buffy gets her second chance here...surprisingly, she doesn't botch it up! :D

Clever premise, well executed. Convincing voices, with the little "guest" appearance by Anya at the end adding a nice grace note. Good job. :)
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! I figured that since the fic was about Anya, she should show up at least once, lol. :D

Title: Epilogue
aww so sweet!! love the ending!! still thats a little sad that riley was able to break up buffy and spike but understandable i guess since buffy is still kinda stupid when it comes to loving the right person. i mean riley?? what was she thinking in the first place! lol but WHAT was up with the buffy looking for someone to have her babies thing???!!! explainy please!!!
loved the story and so sad that it is over. i hope for future one shots into explaining the epilogue or snap shots of their new future!! thank you very much!!!
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! I imagine that Buffy and Spike still had relationship problems, even if they stayed together, and I might write some oneshots in the Switchverse about some of the things Anya mentioned in the last chapter... I assume that the babies thing was Buffy realizing that she wasn't going to have a very long life and her second thoughts about it, told Anya-style. But it all worked out Spuffy in the end, so who cares? :D

Title: Epilogue
So very glad that everything worked out in the end. And I'm glad that Xander and Anya were able to get through it this time, too. Too bad that Tara had to die again. But somethings just don't ever change. Glad that Anya and Buffy get to have a new relationship this time. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. :) It was a shame to let Tara go, but a perfect ending isn't a believable one... :( Thank you for all your feedback!

Title: Chapter 6
And suddenly, I wonder if she was able to explain enough about the past to those who have yet to experience it that they will be able to change the future. And I must give past!Buffy credit where credit is due to have figured out who Anya really is. Perhaps it should have been obvious, but both she and Spike suspected it. And I'm so glad she had her moment with Joyce. And that both Buffy's had a moment to share in that grief. Powerful chapter. Can't wait to see what the future holds this time around.
Author's Response: Yeah, I tried to convey the sense that Spike knew who she was then, even if he wasn't positive. And it's surprising that past!Buffy, who's usually so blind to these things, was the one to get it... :D Maybe it's because it wasn't her first bodyswap! :D Glad you liked the Joyce scenes- i reworked those at least a few times each... :D

Title: Chapter 5
Thank you for the long chapter!! lovely new developments!! glad that buffy and spike are starting to work things out, im sure the way is not yet clear but hopefully future buffy can wake to a brighter future. juist curious - how does that work exactly i mean future buffy changes the past, then she cant really exist right? and im so hopeful I cant wait for this story to develop im already waiting in my head for S6 when Riley comes back and spike gets to really be trusted by a loving or at least caring buffy. even if it doesnt happen in your story - it has certainly sparked my imagination!! as always more please more!
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed! I explain the past/future Buffy paradox in one of the later chapters, so it will become clear soon... There's only two more chapters and they're done, so regrettably, there will be no showing up of Riley in this fic (although it is mentioned in the epilogue)... But who knows? I may sequel this baby! :D More coming tomorrow, and it'll be done by the end of the week!

Title: Chapter 5
Love that Drusilla knew that Anya, was a wiser Buffy. And that this encounter ended with Spike and Buffy landing in bed rather than chained up and going their separate ways. And we have Ben entering the picture. Love that the magic that keeps her from knowing that Ben is Glory is retroactive to affect new Buffy back in time. Hope they put the pieces together. Eagerly awaiting more. Update soon.
Author's Response: The end of Crush, with Spike's disbelieving face when he's locked out, always makes me cry. So I did it my way here! Glad you like it, too! I wanted to keep her oblivious to Ben because, A, there wouldn't be much of a story, and B, then it would get all angsty with the do-I-kill-him-do-I-not debate... More coming soon! It's all written and finished at my LJ, so I'll be finishing the fic here by the end of the week!

Great chapter!

Well, that is quite the revelation. We've got Buffy and Spike all with the touchy feely, and Our Buffy has had to intervene to keep the past, as the past. Looking forward to seeing the fallout from this one. Please, update soon.
Author's Response: Those two crazy kids just can't stay away from each other :D... Thank you for all your reviews! I really appreciate it when a new reader reviews each chapter, instead of just the last one I've written!

Thanks for making Riley look like the tool he really was there. Spike may often do the wrong thing, but it is usually for the right reasons. Glad they are both taking her helpful suggestions so well. And now Riley is solidly out of the picture. Always a good thing.
Author's Response: Yeah, I hated how Riley got to leave as some kind of cheesy action hero, having Buffy chasing him and totally forgetting that he'd been CHEATING on her...

Love her working her magic on Spike and present! Buffy. And the whole bit about the BuffyBot. I can only imagine how truly confused poor Spike is about that one. Wonder if she can save Joyce this time around, too. And her sneaking a kiss with Spike was pretty special, even if he has no idea.
Author's Response: Anya!Buffy is fun because she's so relentless about it, and so in love with Spike, too. He must be so confused about the whole thing...
I'm assuming that Joyce's aneurysm was something they couldn't stop, since they'd been digging in her brain in that area just beforehand and didn't find anything. But Anya!Buffy will do what she can...

Good chapter. I so want to beat Past!Buffy against the wall though (like I did with the series) for being so stubborn. I can't believe that 'Anya' revealed that she was Anya and not Buffy. If she was with the revealing, shouldn't she just have revealed the truth anyway?
More soon please.
Author's Response: Glad you like it :) Buffy's still pretty impossible when it comes to her relationships...
Buffy can't create a paradox where the past!Buffy is aware of another Buffy in the timeline, because Willow thinks (in Chapter 2) that that will probably send her back to when she started, invalidating the whole spell.

I like this twist. I don't think I've ever read a version where Buffy from the future ended up in the wrong body from the past. It's nice to know how she sees another person's perspective.
I'm slowly becoming addicted. More soon please.
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying! I've wanted to read a time-switch/body-swap fic for a while, and when I couldn't find any online, I gave up and decided to write it myself. :D Thank you for your feedback!
