i like this story.... i think that was always a question would buffy kill spike to save her friends... i dont belive she would she let him run free with a trigger maybe that is why the scobies did not want her to date a vampire afreaid that if his chip broke she would not beable to kill him... like she did angel good story

you have every right to hate spike he dont some bad thinks if he was fat and ungly he would have been stake a long time ago... i wish you like xander more and maybe put him with girls.. in some of your storys.. but you are a good writer

Great fic, even though the actual staking is skipped over.
Loved that you brought up his coat, and have it return to being a Slayer-coat :-)
Loved Dawn's little joke too :-)

Aw, Boa, what a gyp! An offscreen death? ;) I'm just kidding. Great story.

I've read some of your stuff here and at fanfiction.net. One thing is very clear, you don't only not like the idea of Spuffy, you're pretty much a rabid Spike hater. I've never understood that about Bangels, if that's what you are(but most anti-Spikes are Bangels). Spuffies seem to be able to write Angel without him being staked at the end, for the most part. I hate to tell you, but you are alienating a large number of people. Obviously, you can write whatever you like, but most of your stories, especially on FFN are merely a device to kill Spike. Your stories are getting a bit ridiculous, as this is obviously your only aim. If you were trying to write a good fiction, you'd write the characters as rich as they really are. What I don't understand is if you hate Spike so much, why write about him at all? Why not write Buffy/Angel stuff, or stories without Spike at all? Why do you feel the need to bash him? My assumption is that his presence so offends your Bangel sensibilities, that your only option is to bring him down in fiction. My advice? Chill out. It's only a show, after all. And if you like Angel, you might as well get used to Spike as he'll be a big part of the show. And I'm sure that fact will launch a whole new slew of Anti-Spike stories on your part. Write on, if you must, but know that it really diminishes your portfolio when people want to read good stories they are continually slapped in the face with irrational opinion fics.

I can see why so many flamers say you hate Spike... You do seem to have a fixation on his destruction. Yes he was a horrible evil vampire (killing, siring, rape etc) but look at season 7. He gives up his life to save the world. Surely that counts for some redemption?

On the other hand every author has a character that they hate or bash constantly. I do think your fics could be alot better and more interesting if they weren't focused completely on Spike's death. You know. Add some secondary plot or just take him out of character and make him act really silly. Anyway that's my two cents. I dunno if this counts as a flame(yeah I read the Chestnuts Roasting fic it was kinda sick.. with the Spike roasting and all...) but if you wanna call this a flame and go off in a huff taking it personally that's just fine with me.

I like, Boa. Feel a bit cheated that Spike's death took place off-camera, but still. And just purely setting aside my own dislike of Rip-off, wouldn't that have been a much better way to use him this season? Make him lie about the soul, lull people into a false sense of security and then turn on them?

If only...

Bad Buffy Fic list - the rotters :D

Did you know you are infamous! Lmao! I haven't been dissed on the BadBuffyFic list/board for ages. I'm jealous. :D If they're dissing me though, I like to know about it. I was really surprised to see your name there and wondered if it was you. I love your slash fics. These peeps are morons and don't seem to have anything better to do than make fun of other peeps stuff, but you do seem to have a downer on poor ol' Spikey babe. What's up with that? ;)

I just knew you were going to direct us to the infamous Queen Boadicea, even before I clicked on the link. In the beginning, before I knew of her Spike hate, I actually read some of her stories. And I noticed a most unpleasant pattern, namely that Spike dustage seemed to be the sole point of far too many of hics.ics. She writes a B/A fic? Spike (usually) Must Die in it. She writes B/G? Spike (usually) Must Die. Buffy/Riley? Same deal. So now, when I see the name Queen Boadicea on a story, I skim the summary and if it isn't slash, I bypass it. No questions asked. The reason I don't bypass her slash stories is because I don't think she's ever killed Spike in one of them, or even really bashed him. In fact, she characterizes Spike pretty fairly in her slash fics. Go figure. If you want to see those, they're probably all at AdultFanFiction.Net, here:

excellent story...definitely what i'd have liked to see spike get this season...
