So far, so good... good tension, but not quite enough Spuffy smut... I'm hopeful that will resolve itself soon, though!

Stupid Buffy *shakes head* At least Isobel is living in 1353, when sin was so much more... sinful (well, this made so much more sense in Greek, lol)

Off to the next chapter!
*hugs*

So Buffy jumped to conclusions; good to see Isobel is still alive as is Edmund. Seems that Isobel's story will become important for Buffy. It (=Isobel) is telling her a lesson.
Because I don't know how Isobel's story is gonna end I don't now that will influence Buffy. It gave her to think already even it she draw the wrong conclusion. Spike not knowing of this dreams must be confused ;-) I don't think he knows these too.
~ Looking forward to more.

Excellent chapter! I love a good story-within-a-story. Poor Edmund and Spike! I hope all will turn out well for them. Great job, looking forward to more!

You create such a wonderful picture (well at least in side my friend's and my minds). The way we are drawn into the story, as if we are part of it, observing the scene is amazing.

OK so how long can either Slayer stay away from their respective Vampires? Another interesting update. Yep I for one am glad you're putting in the time. Loved it.

Hopefully this is my last post on this since I don't want to take over the review section.

I apologize if you thought I was telling you have to put more Spike in it.. It isn't meaning to insult your story or any other story that doesn't have Spike a lot. Yes, I did say "put more Spike in it" But I didn't realize that you would take it so seriously. Like I'm telling you the way to write your story.
Like the way you find insulting that I didn't get these characters a chance.

I find insulting that you think I haven't given this story and the new characters a chance. I have given them a chance. I have given them 3 chapters of a chance and more of a chance when I continue to read and see if this story is for me. . Not to say that I dislike the new characters. But I can't say they are holding my interest either. The reason why I will give this story more time because you are just starting. And I like your stories. I think you are one of the best Spuffy writers out there. If you were a new author or I didn't know the author than I would have probably stop reading it after this chapter. . Probably let the author get some chapters up before I take the time to read it and see if the story is for me. Which I do a lot with new authors. Mainly because I want to know if the author updates their story. Nothing bugs me more is to start a story than after a chapter or two there are no more updates.

So, I really hope that you don't feel insulted as an author from me anymore. Cause if it wasn't the fact that I like you and your stories. I already would have stopped reading this.

And yes, I like my Spuffy stories to focus on Spuffy. I do like a lot of Spike. But that doesn't mean that I dismiss stories or other characters because there may not be lots of Spike or Spuffy. I have liked stories or characters that took a while to get to Spuffy or Spike. But I will be honest. If it takes forever than I don't read those stories. Not to say this story is taking forever. It has only been 3 chapters. But like you said this is a Spuffy site. Most readers want to read about Spuffy.

Peace

Author's Response: We wouldn't have to take over the review section if you weren't hiding behind a lack of screen name. You've chosen to keep your comments anonymous, and this is the only way I can respond to them.

Look, not everyone wants stuff that's only Spuffy. Some people are liking this. And yes, some people aren't. I can tell from hits and reviews that this isn't as popular as my stories without OC's. That's fine. I don't care. But if you're going to read it, then accept it for what it is. Leaving reviews that are nothing but complaints because you don't like the type of story it is are rude. Your comments were not neither helpful nor necessary. I know this story has stuff that isn't "just Spuffy." But I've chosen to bring in another couple for my own reasons. If you don't like that, fine, but why do you have to complain to me about it? And yes, your review was a complaint. It wasn't constructive criticism. It wasn't even really a review. It was you saying you want more Spike. Why do I need to know this? Why do I need to have something so negative handed to me because you like your stories a certain way?

By all means, read what you like. But if a story isn't for you, then do the polite thing and move on without complaining to the author. This story was also written for a challenge, as the author's note clearly states so I HAVE to focus on another Slayer besides Buffy in order for it to be viable for the challenge. I decided to post it here because it is Spuffy, and I thought some Spuffy fans might enjoy reading it, too. If you're not, fine. If you want to "give it more time," fine. Just keep all your negativity and complaints to yourself unless you have something productive to say.

Wow, I never said that you had to put more Spike in it. I said that story may not be for me because of the lack of Spike.

I will give this story a little more time. But if I feel like there isn't enough Spike or Spuffy then I will stop reading it. The reason why I'm giving it time it is because I' m a fan of your stories. Although, I never thought that you would take my post so seriously. Like I telling you have to put more Spike in it. I'm not. Relax and calm down.

Author's Response: Well, seeing as the entire review was nothing but a complaint about a lack of Spike, there wasn't much else i could take from it. If the story's not for you, fine. I don't have to know that -- you can just not read it. Personally, I find it a little silly that instead of trying to read the story for what is there you're focusing on what isn't there. This is a Spuffy story, it has a very Spuffy message, but I'm using other characters to tell it. And for someone to leave a review complaining about that because they can only read stories with lots of Spike is something that, as an author, I find a little insulting. It's like you're telling me that I'm incapable of writing compelling original characters and you're only interested if I give you a story you that fits perfectly in to what you already know you like.

Reading this story and harping on what you perceive as a lack of Spike and Spuffy since the very first chapter is not giving the story a chance. You've already gone into it looking at it as something you might not like, which isn't fair to me or the story, If it wasn't Spuffy, it wouldn't be on this site. Plain and simple. And personally, I like what I've done with Isobel and Edmund, and I don't really know how I feel about someone dismissing them outright they way you have.


Author's Response: And actually "More Spike, please" is telling me to put more Spike in it. There's no other way to take the statement "more Spike" than looking at it as a request for "more Spike."

Addie; Whenever I see an update on any of your stories; I always stop and take the time to read them because I know they are going to be good. This story is no exception; I'm enjoying it immensely.............You're Buffy voice is spot on; and when se tore into poor confused Spike because "Edmund killed Isobel"; well; I laughed right out loud. It's because of you, and writers of your calibre, that I keep coming back to this website again and again. ......................Whatever you write or however yoou write, you have a loyal fan in me. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into all the wonderful stories you write.

I like this fic a lot, it's creative. It's obiously the conffusion that Buffy have about the dreams, but what I don't understand is why she doesn't make an incursion in Wachter's diaries to found Isobel.

I hope more soon. ^_^

Love how she is trying to convince herself she dosn't want Spike. This should be interesting to see how it goes.

I'm still not sure about this story and I think it is because of the lack of Spike But one thing I'm sure of. Not enough Spike in this. I need more Spike. My attention span is not very long without Spike. LOL

So more Spike please.

Author's Response: Look, I'm not going to add more Spike just to placate someone. If you can't be patient and let me develop my story, that isn't my problem. Spike is in this fic. Spike will continue to be in this fic. But I have a specific story I want to tell and a point I want to make, and I'm not changing that for anyone. So if you want a story with "more Spike" then go read a story with more Spike. Don't try to make me change mine.

I've read all of your stories to date, and I do believe that this oneis bound to be my favorite. I'm really looking forward to seeing where exactly you plan on taking this, and how all of the characters are going to fit together.

Where are TPTB going with these dreams? I'm as confused as Buffy. Isobel is actually kind of adorable with her naivete about sex. Poor Spike, Buffy's behavior is bound to drive him 'round the bend. I so hope he makes Buffy beg a little next time.

All I can think, is how very confused Spike must be. Honestly, “Edmund killed Isobel!” What could Spike possibley think. I wonder if she'll tell him. I wonder if she'll do some research. I still wonder the significance. Love this story, I'm still so interested to see where this shall go. Lovely.
