Postlude
Postlude
Well, my darlings, you made it through fifty chapters of my first-ever fanfic. Congratulations. It's been a bumpy ride, I know. A few thank yous are in order. First and foremost, to Laure Alexander, Indie, Ducks, Mayaan, Margot, Susan and always, always Tango, for showing me how it's done. You are first-rate writers, and I worship at your feet. I only hope that my fiction in some small way, can touch my readers as much as yours has touched me.
Second and utmost, many, many thanks to every one of my fans and not-fans for posting comments, reviews, sharp or silky, approving or disapproving. I mean it when I say that I read what you write to me and listen to it. You make me a better writer, through your careful readings of what I write only for enjoyment. Your suggestions have, more than once, made me go back and rewrite and repost a chapter that is undoubtedly better for your commentary.
Third and finally, I must thank Joss Whedon, without whom none of this would be remotely possible. I saw Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the movies when it came out (yes, I know this dates me. Tough.) I knew then, and am doubly sure now that I've seen what he could really do with it, that Joss is a genius. A dark genius, to be sure, but a genius nonetheless. The archetypal characters with which he worked, the painful and frightening juxtaposition of the dark and light--ever warring with each other for precedence, and intercut constantly with the absurd, are the reason, whether we are conscious of it or not, that we return again and again to the font of painful pleasure that is Buffy and Angel (and Spike).
I will continued this story, but 50+ chapters would become too unwieldy, so I will start, anew, like the Phoenix, with a fresh (well, sort of anyway) slate and a new foe for Buffy and her lovers to vanquish…the Beasts within her and within them…
Blessings, my dears, and thank you,
