I can't wait to see riley go down - he deseves so much pain and torture... Great sory so far

I am in awe of both Buffy and Spike and the different types of strength they both showed. Spike in deciding to not allow Riley to steal from him the dignity that Buffy helped him require, and Buffy in trying to control her reaction to Riley to keep him from hurting Spike. I’m not going to mention how sick I think Riley is or how much I want him to pay, because I’ve gone on it enough and you have already said that he would pay. :)

excellent update. if i was an objective reader,by this point i would have found riley to be a contempuous figure. sadly, i am biased. i never could stand him. mostly for the reasons that you wonderful writing is making obvious. thanks for the fine read

I have just finished reading what you have written so far (up to chapter 68) and I have to say that I have been completely engrossed in this story from the beginning. The premise of the story was enough to intrigue me, but the execution of the work itself is awe inspiring. The dialog, the inner struggle of the characters along with the conflicting & complex emotions that you manage to capture has made this story impossible to put down. Dealing with very real historical and current themes of what is essentially a story of enslavement based on race/species, is a very difficult thing to do, yet you manage to capture what I can only imagine are the very real feelings that allowed such atrocities to persist in our own various histories no matter where we live in the world. I think you have done a splendid job of trying to capture the many different sides of the issue and I am most impressed by the very real internalized self deprication that haunts the mentalities of the enslaved vampires in the story. You are a wonderful writer! I found it difficult to read at times and that to me demonstrated how well you are able to invoke the feelings of myself as a reader.This story is magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to reading more soon...
If you ever need a beta, I am listed in the beta section & I would be happy to help.

Good chapter...you build the suspense very nicely. Here's hoping that the computer did its work and Spike's chip won't fire the next time Riley presses the button.

I want to thank you so much for updating as often as you do. It's obvious that you care about the characters, the story and your readers. Thank you again.

He is definatlely one sick bastard! The chips should be going down soon, unless, Riley figured out what they had done and shut off the stop command. Great chapter, and I can't wait for more!

I hpoe the chips stop working soon and Spike KILLS Riley! No scratch that I hope he TORTURES Riley and then BRUTALLY kills him. But since he is Spike and not Riley he'll probably not do anything sadastic.

I was really into this story at first, but now it seems like you are just getting into gratuitous cruelty and it's lost a bit of its attraction. The whole B/S get caught get away get caught get away get caught circle and the repeated use of the remote control of the chips is getting stale.

Poor Spike. Yuck, Riley. Are you sure Buffy can't kick his head in?

Hasn't two hours gone by yet. Riley must be destroyed. I do think that death is to good for him.

Oh let those chips be turned off soon! Spike at least knows that's in the works.

I find myself as concerned for Julian as for Spike. Riley MUST be killed slowly. I vote Spike drain him when the chips go down. He needs the healing blood and it's not all too quick.

Excellent as always.

What a monster! You've done a great job with him.

Oh, goodness....

Oh, I so can't wait for Buffy to kick Riley's ass. She *is* going to, right?

I'm still on the edge of my seat for this one. Cannot wait to find out what happens.
