Wow, that was great! Truly awesome fic there. You handled the emotions very well, and it would have been nice if someone had straightened Buffy out after that little First Date chat.

Really great sequel, I loved the confrontation between Buffy and Willow. Will pointing out the horribleness of Buffy’s actions, and Buffy trying to excuse it away, using real reasons, but in the end seeing the truth of her actions. And Spike walking in was perfect, and real.

You're making me hate Joss W for what he did to Spike and also to Willow who was such a sweet, cute teenagr. Sighs.

I am just glad that this one time Willow stuck her nose in someone else's business.
 
BridgetSpeaking out02/20/2006 04:36 pm
Nicely done. If only this had happened on the show.

Nice take on a possible good and helpful Willow without an ulterior motive.

Loved this just as much on the re-read. If only.....

The form is pretty much whatever you want it to be. Reviewers can check if they want to be notified of an author's response, so if you do reply, you know those who are interested will see it. If you did it the way you did on BS/C (on long fics, anyway) and replied at the end of the chapters, you could save yourself some work. *g* I, personally, am going to hold my breath and turn blue until you reply to me...

I remember this from the LJ (and know I commented there), but had to say what a treat it is to read it again and to see it here! Love this story in all its parts.

Can't help on the comments question...I reply to all comments on my stories (so far) but I've commented with no reply from others. I guess it just depends. One thing you might like here is the "read count"....true you can't tell if they actually "read" (like a person buying a book doesn't really say it will be read)...at least you get the idea of how many people have shown some interest even if they didn't comment.

Really liked this little sequel. Thanks for writing it. As for replying when we leave a review, well, we do see your replies and they are important to the reader too. I always try to reply as a writer.

Loved this! I would have paid good money to see a scene like this, where she clearly told him how she felt, and he clearly belived her.

ohhh and for people who are signed in when they review there is a little box that says notify me if author replies... which means if you reply to the review the reviewer gets an email in thier inbox with your message in it.
 
AthenewolfeSpeaking out02/20/2006 09:33 am
great story! I respond to all my comments - as a reviewer you are more likely to review people who respond to you then who ignore you = even if all you say is thanks! *hugs* hope that helps!

love it love it love it!!!!! I love the way you wrote this whole piece, perfect!!! You fixed the show!!! Very good characterization, good way of making Buffy face what she did to Spike!!!
 
lilmamadaySpeaking out02/20/2006 07:24 am
Loved this story too! I always wished that Buffy would have pulled her head out of her a$$ prior to Chosen and admitted that she loved Spike! I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Good job with Willow - her perseverance paid off.
