Hey, I can totally understand why you feel the need to explain yourself, but people should realize that this IS FANFICTIION. Has anybody ever heard of a thing called "Artistic license?"

I think the story is wonderful, and your doing a beautiful job showing the tender side of Spike.

Hey

Just keep the story coming.....skip the neggies....they have nothing better to do then bitch about something. FANFICTION, is that.....a work of fiction created by the fan that authors it as she or he sees fit. The readers have the option to read the words in front of them to either enjoy or to say, "This ain't for me" and MOVE ON. If you have negative comments, then voice them nicely, after you make sure you have a right too. If a warning is placed at the beginning of the story and you still read it and become upset, then SHAME on YOU!

Personally, I read to be entertained, and if everybody stuck to cannon in any fandom, oh what a bunch of boring piece of fiction would we see. Creativity and imagination is what brings these characters to life for us in the fiction this people bust their ass on to write and give out. Creative constructive feedback that helps the author improve their skill is great. Totally negative makes for unhappy le ble because you have attacked them instead of helping them. I will get off my soap box for now.....As for Buffy's slayer strength.....hell she was half asleep and shocked that her normal so called boy it was doing something "souless." before she could fully get her head straight and react, Spike did. I most of the time reserve total judgement on a story when it is finished......

Also, if I what reality I will pick up some self help or psychology books, that explain oth others think you should react to a certain situtation.......YEAH right, like we all deal with something the same way....or at the time of the assault or trauma.....again, that would make us such predictable and boring people......

Keep with the story and sometimes the best respoto nto negative feedback is no response.

So sorry to hear you had to deal with nasty reviews. Great response tem tem though. As for how the rape happened I thought it was believable, Buffy being in a sleeping state and waking up to find out what was happening to her and going into shock (which can immoblize anyone). As for her wanting Spike close, although it is very unusual for a woman to want any man close after a rape, it is not unheard of if the woman trusts the man without question - that unquestioning trust in Spike by Buffy is what I think you are trying to convey in this story and Buffy coming to realize that. I also like how you are portraying Dawn in this story, she knowsethiething is wrong but can't even comprehend how bad it is (because of her youth and innocence), however, is happy that Spike is there for Buffy. Hope I haven't rambled on too much and hope you update soon, the story is very well written and I like how you are delving into the psyches of the characters.

i really like your story line...just the right amount of action and detail...i like your buffy...i think it's pretty lifelike to have her react in this way towards spike who she clearly see as someone to lean on in an emotional way...so keep going, and buy your muse a big band-aid to put on her hurts and some ear plugs so she doesn't have to be exposed to any more negativity.

OH, love it! Keep it coming, please!!

i think you're doing great...keep it up!

I love Sweet Spike!!!!! This is a great story, and aside from the rape in the first chapter with stupid Riley, it gives me warm fuzzies to read the Spuffy interaction... please, more soon? :)

Just wondering where Joyce is in all this, cuz I think Riley was gone before she died. And does Spike's chip not work in this world? Overall it's good, but you could probably benefit from a beta reader for some punctuation and spelling stuff.

moleaslease! i like seeing Spike like this!

Awe, how sweet. How does forever sound to you? Sigh! Love it, Damn Riley!!!
