Revenant by dreamweaver 09/18/2009 10:41 pm Loved your reasoning of all the changes Buffy incurred as a result of her being ripped from Heaven. Very heart rending. So much went wrong because of that. I'm so glad you're liking it! Thank you! Buffyconvert 09/15/2009 03:09 pm Loved how Buffy compared Spike to Angel by pretty much deciding there was no comparison. Buffy and Angel are too much alike to make it happen as a couple. Boys in high school & men going to pre-marital counseling should be required to read this fic as a manual! Yeah, there is no comparison! Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you're liking it! sin_amatic 09/12/2009 09:48 am Before I start complimenting you on another _fanfrickentastic_ chapter there's a couple of things...: First, I'm not sure if anyone has every mentioned this, but I just gotta tell you, how much I appreciated the length of your chapters. They are like a meal onto itself and there are only a handful of writers who actually flesh out their stories. (Usually the ones who win awards.) And second, I'm curious. Can you give us some insight on how you 'write' your stories. Do you outline, or just let it flow? And have you always written or did you "pick up the pen" to defend Spike? <G> Alright back to the regularly scheduled program: Like the others have commented season 6 was the pits, but your Buffy's voice is sheer perfection. (Are you or have you ever been a psych major?) You nailed so much of the 'trial and tribulation' poor Spike endured. I loved how you address the abuse heaped on him. Someone once wrote out the season with Spike treating Buffy the way she did him. It was ugly and we would have lynched any man who acted and did the things she did. It always made me cringe when I heard Geller say, "Buffy was a role model for young girls." Scary! Sorry for the diatribe... your stories always provoke such feelings in us readers... we do go on. So, once again another great chapter, an I know you have either finished this story or are a ways a head, but please support "our" local vamp and his moral dilemma. I know 'angst' makes stories more... But I'm gonna campaign to give poor Spike a break. (Purdy Please) Ta! I've always wanted to write and I'd love to end up published. Writing Spuffy is to learn how. My first story was 'Fated' and I wrote it because I wanted Buffy and Spike to get together so badly and canon never allowed it. I was so uncertain about it that I almost didn't put it up. But then people liked it and that got me writing more. Chapter length? A lot of fic writers write a scene and call it a chapter. But a chapter is built out of scenes and each chapter should be like a mini-book, rising to a climax. The climax of each subsequent chapter should hopefully be higher than the one before until the final one that ends and resolves the story. That's the way published books seem to me. And stories should always be fleshed out so that readers believe that they could be real! Anything else cheats the readers. I wish I could outline, but doing that kills the story for me. I usually have a vague idea of where things should go and just start writing. And I have to write from start to finish, because only the story knows where it's going and does what it wants. I think my subconscious does the plotting. This is not the proper way to write! :D I can get a huge block and lose days before I realize that, hey, that should have been through Buffy's point of view or why am I wasting time with Dracula when Glory would make a better villain? Very unhandy, but it's the only way that works for me. I'm not a psych major, but like all writers I find people fascinating. And I completely empathize with Spike and hate how canon treated him. All the stories are wish fulfillments :) I did warn that this one was going to be a little angsty. But, hey, hopeless romantic here. Have I ever let you guys down? :D spikestussi 09/12/2009 02:35 am You're making me cry here. Perfect! :D I'm so glad you're liking it! Niori 09/12/2009 01:05 am It's offical- I love your Buffy. She's understanding and open and nice...everything she never was in the show. I think everyone has issues about Season 6. I spent the whole of it wanting to whack Buffy (and Xander) over the head with a two by four. Totally agree with what you say. Glory's spell about no one being allowed to retain the memory that she is Ben is still in effect in this dimension since she hasn't died here yet. Only Spike is immune, as he always was. And the Scoobs always have problems about killing humans. I agree with Spike, like you do, but they don't. I'm so glad you're liking this! Thank you!
