NO! Please, keep going. I really love the stories with the self-discovery, and the less-mean season six. I'm eagerly awaiting another update.
Author's Response: thank you! This definitely was a story of self discovery... mine and the characters. Thank you!

Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The beginning
I really wish you could update more often, you've come such a long way with this story; it's improved a lot, in terms of the quality of writing and the flow of the story. Keep working on it, I'm always excited to see your updates!
Summary: 
Nominated at
Loves Last Glimpse Awards This fiction takes place during the episode “All the Way.” This time, Dawn doesn’t get into “candy corn mischief.” She really did just hang out at Janice’s house in this one. The stupid teenage boy vamps aren’t out killing innocent old men or anybody- in fact in this story, they were already dusted by Buffy and Spike the day before.
Re-watching the ep for like, I dunno the fifth time, I noticed how Buffy looked when Anya was talking about finding “the one,” Xander nervous at the time, and Buffy leaving the party, looking at happy couples on the way to Spike’s crypt. There was no ambulance, or anything like that, so in this version of the episode, Buffy has absolutely no distractions from her thoughts on Spike. The beginning is mostly dialogue, this being the first draft. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.

I'm so excited to see an update to this story! Keep it up, I'm having so much fun with this.
Author's Response: Many thanks. I'm having fun with it as well, in spite of the nervousness I have about the last few chapters... That's right- there shouldn't be more than five left. Aww shucks.
Summary: COMPLETED Buffy Summers is successful and content with every aspect of her life save one: her sex life. Sick of methodical vanilla sex with her current boyfriend, she still has never been able to achieve an honest first-rate orgasm in her entire life. Then one day she stumbles upon a mysterious escort service online that offers her hope of a perfect sexual experience and impulsively decides to seek out their help. What starts as a simple business transaction turns into a night of unbridled passion-filled sex with the handsome stranger the service pairs her with, leaving both of them to question if once is truly enough.

I'm enjoying this so much! Can't wait for another chapter.
Summary: A sequel to Borrowed Time. In this version of events Joyce survived, Buffy and Spike had a substantially healthier relationship and his motivation for getting the soul was different, and Tara was not anywhere near the house when shots were fired. Also the Bringers started their potential hunting early and the activation spell was cast over the summer to protect the girls who don’t show up on Council radar. So what happens when the lost potentials start popping up, and what is The First up to?
In this installment we meet a new slayer, Spike observes how much changed in his absence, and Buffy dreams. R for now. Eventually NC-17.

I'd just love to tell you how much I'm enjoying this story. You've managed to make Evil Xander utterly credible, and Spike needy and damaged but not pathetic. It's really incredible work you should be proud of. I'm eagerly awaiting more.

There is a certain squick factor, and yet I love what you're doing with this story. I am very interested to see if this Buffy can recover, and become more like Canon Buffy, or if she will end up completely different.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Thanks for sticking with me through the squick factor ;)
And of course I know how Buffy's gonna end up...but I can't tell and I know you wouldn't want me to. :)
Summary: Buffy has a day off. She goes to the beach.
Spike drinks a potion that lets him go under the sun without going all *poof*
Spike + Buffy + Sunscreen + Ocean = Spuffy Goodness.
Starting off as a PWP. Who knows, I might come up with a plot someday?

Very cute, I think Buffy might need to suffer a bit for being so flip to Spike about having no life! LOL!
Neat concept, there are a few beach stories floating around, but I've never seen one where the Scoobies play a part in getting Spike out in the sun. It's an interesting twist.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Summary: Womanizer William "Spike" Pratt is his own man and doesn't mind displaying his power-- especially with the women in his life. Then, on one Christmas Eve, Spike is visited by three ghosts that show him the error of his ways and the
one woman he should be with.

I liked this premise, but it seems like you've never watched Angel. You should rent or borrow some of the DVD's, and watch them, because there's a lot of flashbacks on Angel that explore their relationship in more depth, and make this story seem very off, even for an utter fantasy. If you're writing late season fic like this, and changing relationships this much, you should consider marking the story off-canon or fantasy, rather than making it look like an episode re-write.

Very nice, now we need another chapter, with some more plot, and the loose ends wrapped up. Please. It's an excellent start, but I think you can go another chapter or two, to flush everything out.

Very sweet, and an interesting premise. I do think you should work on adding some more details, however. Even if your story is an utter pipe dream fantasy, like so many stories, (including mine) loose ends are not your friends.

Yay, another chapter! And you're getting much better about checking your stories, but you might want to go over this one again, there are a couple of typos. Remember, just a thought; details are good! Telling what expression someone has on their face, for example, can help the reader understant how the line would sound if it were on TV.

I liked this, and I'm glad that you fleshed out the first story by adding this, but may I suggest adding this to the first story as a second chapter, rather than making it a sequel? Just a thought, it might flow better that way, and keep down the number of new stories posted.

This is possibly the best thing you've written. The characters sound true, and it hits a poignant note, very emotional. I know I'm a nagging reviewer, but once again I'm gonna suggest that you work on fleshing out the details and imagery. This little story is well done, but it can use a bit of tweaking.

Umm, I've been trying to offer constructive suggestions and encouragement, so I hate to say this. This story is bad. You didn't even bother to re-write the dialogue, which I'm guessing you found on a web transcript. Barring new dialogue to spice up the story and make it your own, you could have at least put the old dialogue and descriptions into paragraph form. This is upsetting, because even over the past two days I've seen improvement in your work, and this seems like a big step back.

Wow. This is a really interesting premise, and you're doing a really great job with it. You might want to consider a little polishing, though; some of the dialogue is a little rough.
Author's Response: Yeah, it was my first story ever... my writing's improved a bit since. Thank you though!
