A Little Compassion by Alexannah Brunettepet 01/06/2009 09:19 pm Bitchy Buffy is always fun to read, and I love that she has to struggle not to get violent with this ill Spike. This made me laugh: “It’s my boyfriend’s car, those are his CDs.” “He has good taste.” Catching her eye, he said quickly, “Musical taste, I mean.” Spike having to clarify what the boyfriend has good taste in was stellar. Spikez_tart 11/09/2008 03:31 am Loved Buffy stealing and banging up Parker's car. Hope you lay it on thick for that bum. 11/08/2008 03:54 am Very intriguing beginning! You've done a great job of capturing the character's voices - the dialogue rings true. You've set up an interesting and original situation. and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where you're going with this. Invisible Sun 11/08/2008 01:53 am I'm really interested in seeing where you're going with this. :) As for the Latin, your current phrase "Caedo lamia" translates as "I kill vampires." I believe a more accurate translatation would be "homicida lamiae," which would literally translate as "killer of the vampire." I've only taken two years of Latin, so I may be wrong, since I'm not entirely sure I've used the word "homicida" correctly in this particular case, since you're talking about a disease and not an actual person and Latin would differentiate between the two... 11/07/2008 11:29 pm Cool :) I didn't know you've posted here too, I only saw a post in one of my yahoo groups. Easier to read here; I didn't have time yet but it sounded interesting. ~ It was really important for Spike to find Buffy if he called every other Summers too. Ah well, if you're dying that is important. Good start; I see you have another chapter too. Looking forward to more :) lilashannah 11/07/2008 08:01 pm Good start, can't wait to see where this goes.Hurry with an update Liza 11/07/2008 06:49 pm Great start - I'm eager for the next bit. Always enjoyed Joyce bringing out the best in Spike. Buffy was VERY accommodating to go out so quickly for him, mind you. Would have been interested in some more of her motivation there. Don't worry if the latin isn't just right. We've got imaginations, haven't we? Anyway, hooray for biros and British English! fangfaceandrea 11/07/2008 05:00 pm interesting start I'm liking it so far 11/07/2008 03:18 pm One chapter and I'm already sure this story is going to be great! I love how you show Spike's thoughts, and how he can be almost strangly chivalrous but still evil, without making him as defensively over the top about being the Big Bad as he was when he felt pathetic and defenseless because of the chip. His interaction with Buffy and the dialogue is perfect. Flames to dust 11/07/2008 10:04 am It is good to know that a sick Spike does not mean a 'GOOD' Spike. Buffy should realize that when it concerns Spike she never seems to have made up her mind. Joyce allowing to chain Spike? Leave me to question it...and more having Spike knowing that Buffy has boyfriend and Joyce not...WHAT!?! Spike is Bloody Evil or not? lacey 11/07/2008 05:04 am well, she's as nice as ever, and ew, parker's actually her boyfriend? or does she just think he is? i really wouldn't mind spike killing him. silver81 11/07/2008 04:54 am Wow! This is a good start to what looks like a great, interesting story! I always like Spike and Joyce interaction... can't wait for more. Thanks for all the time and effort you are putting into your work. Greetings from Oregon! 11/07/2008 02:32 am Lovely start. Great premise. Look forward to seeing where you take this. I can easily see Spike turn to Buffy and Buffy not turning him away. It is in their core characters. Excellent beginning here. Kathleen The kill and vampire curse is interesting but Caedo has other meanings (I admit looking the words up in the Latin/English dictionary LOL). | |||
