 Will there be a sequel like you promised?
I did try to write a sequel, but it just wouldn't gel.  So it's on the back burner right now.  Instead I'm writing an original, non-BtVS, Shifter story that I hope to sell to an epublisher who has expressed interest.

I am in LOVE with this story, but dreamweaver, I read somewhere that theres going to be a sequel. Is that true?
I'm so glad you're enjoying the story!  Thank you!  I did intend to write a sequel, but it just wouldn't gel and so it's on the back burner right now while I concentrate on an original, non-BtVS, Shifter story that I'm hoping to sell to an epublisher who has expressed interest.

Bloody brilliant! I can easily see why you've won awards. Fabulous characterization all around. And I lpve seeing what an un-chipped Spike from this season can do.

I expect to devour the whole story in one sitting. Well done.

Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you're enjoying this!

Spike with the dangerous edge keeps me on the edge of my seat.  You wrote him beautifully.
I thought that with the chip gone and still lacking a soul, Spike would be the Spike in 'Smashed', in-your-face and not holding back.  I'm so glad you like it!

Great start, wow finally a story where Spike isn't  letting Buffy run over him.
Spike doesn't have the chip now, but he also doesn't have a soul.  He'd be badass.  I'm so glad you like the story!  Thank you!

Oh Bloody Hell!! That´s was awesome and fun.
A free Spike seems a lot of the Good moments...for him and her.

Need more.
Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you like it!  More coming.

Great beginning, looking forward to reading more.. I really enjoy your stories and am working my way thru every one. You're one of the best spuffy authors I've read. Keep up the truly great work.
Cheers

Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you like my work!  I do love Spike and Buffy and adore writing Spuffy.

Yep, I did my happy dance when I saw you'd posted another fic, and I'm not ashamed to admit it lol.

Off to a great start. I can't wait to see this play out, find out how Buffy starts to get over herself and trust Spike.

....really wouldn't mind if Xander took a few hits. He so deserves to be knocked on his ass a few times a day.

Love the hostility and passion between Spuffy, can't wait to see them develop.
Oh, I'm so glad you like my work!  Thank you!  And, yup, Xander's going to take a few hits.  I'm so not a fan of his.

bar of gold would keep him in blood and smokes for a month - actually about 20 years, heh heh.

Great story and wonderful Spike characterization.  Can't wait for more.  I love wicked Spike and on the fence wicked Spike. 
I really didn't get that across right, did I?  I meant those thin half-ounce plaques of gold about the size of a credit card that are worth about $400 in today's inflated market and were probably half that in that year.  I'll go back and make it clear.  Thank you for pointing it out!
Unchipped Spike without a soul is always wicked, as in 'Smashed', and I love him that way too!  Thank you for liking the story so far!  More coming.

Love love love it! Evil Spike and a realistically unheroic Buffy, and stuck in a world where they have to trust or rely on each other's motives and thoughts. Loved how Tara, Willow, and Anya reacted to Spike's words on the beach. PLEASE update soon, I really want to read more!
Thank you!  I'm so glad you like it!  I love stories where they're forced to rely on each other.  More coming.

Great start! Gimme more!
Spike has a point. If he acted the way they do he'd be dusted.
I always thought that, but the show never seemed to  recognize that.  I'm so glad you like this!

More Please!!!   Fantastic start. Perfect Spike's voice.  Cool use of  "Doc" and other dimensions.   A great long first chappie...  Love your take on the ever-so-noble white hats.  Damn girl as always you make me sit up, lean into the screen when Spike took his kiss.  I found myself pumping my fist and yelling, "Go Spike!!" 

Too be honest there is one problem and it's Xander shaped.  Couldn't you just sorta drown Xander.  Just a bit?  Maybe he's a bit under the weather say... a bit comatose???? No?? How about a really nasty head cold where he can't speak??? Pretty Pretty Please!!!) 

Thanks ever so for sharing.    Ta!
Now, how did you guess that?  It won't be for a while, because I want to kick him around a little bit, but, yes, that's coming.  :D  I'm so glad you're liking this!  Thank you!

Whoa!, that was a smashing start!, i loved it. Don`t think i have ever read something like this fic before. Doc was really creepy!, don`t want to see him in a dark alley. Make Buffy do some beggin, would do her good. 
Your killing me here with the one chapter, i want to see what comes next!. :):):):)
Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you liked it!  Doc always seemed creepy to me, even when he was coming across all friendly to Dawn.  I'll try to get the rest up fast.

Best surprise of the day to see a new fic from you, Your Spike always warms my Spuffy heart.  A smashing start.  I can't wait to see how the self-righteous cope with harsh living.  Dare I hope to see some grovelling in the future?
They're going to have some of the wind taken out of them all right.  Thank you for liking this!

11/25/2008 08:29 am
Bad ass start, can't wait to see the next chapter.
Thank you!  I'm so glad you like it!  More tomorrow.

11/25/2008 06:47 am
Wow!  That's what I call starting off with a bang. You've certainly given us an intriguing beginning, not to mention a very clever and unique premise.  I don't think I've ever come across anything quite like this before now.  Spot on characterizations and dialogue, a completely alien setting, and a plot that looks as if it could take off in just about any direction,  this is just brilliant.  I'm hooked and panting for more.  :)
Oh, wow!  Thank you so much!  More coming -- a chapter a day as I get them proofed.

Oh, thank you!  I'm so glad you like it!  I'm just proofing the next chapter and it should be up tomorrow.
