Giles is clever.. Something didn't add up. But it's too personal for Buffy to see it clear. And William's mother is kind, too ~ Oh no - that was one step too far Cecily did! I'm glad Giles is so protective of Buffy. One thing that got better at last! And I will definitely read one. If it gets too worse I can always close my eyes whilst reading ;-) And Addie, don't let yourself get bothered. It's your story - your rules. *hugs* You write good.

Great chapter! Cecily got what she deserved, and I'm glad William got a chance to talk to his mother. All and all a wonderful update!

So, Giles will probably bring them back together huh? I like it. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
Don't let those 'verbally repetitive' people get you down, you have a great story and I'm always happy to find a new chapter. The longer it is, the longer I can enjoy reading it :-)

Great chapter, loved seeing Cecily get what was coming to her. If she's truly seen the error, or at least consequences, of her ways and is no longer in the story I'll kinda miss her, she was a fantastic villain. Normally I'd comment that your chacterisations are fantastic (they are, you've won me over to William fics) or you do a great job with dialogue (which flows really well and seems very natural) but you write the whole story so well I don't know which areas to focus on for praise. I love this story and it always brightens my day.
Regarding the complainers, my psych and human development courses suggest that children learn that other people have feelings and that they are not in fact the centre of the unvierse at around three years of age. Clearly the complainers have not progessed emotionally beyond that age and are therefore to immature to appreciate your efforts, your story or your brilliance. Ignore them as best you can and remember that for every complainer you've got ten people who love your story even if they don't remember to review for every chapter

The adults are trying to talk some sense into these crazy kids, but teenagers are stubborn! Cecily's expulsion was all kinds of fun, and I loved Buffy's heart felt, giddy reaction to Giles' role. I also really enjoyed William's mother's conversation about his physical relationship with Buffy . You did an excellent job making "the talk" absolutely mortifying. This chapter was well written and flowed beautifully, as usual.

You're not unappreciated, it is probably just horny teenageers with nothing else to hounding you, and if it is not, they are sad. Such drama in this fandom, can't go a month anywhere without people causing problems by hounding authors. It is not like they spend money to read your story. And it is not that hard to stop reading. I love all your storires, and if I didn't I wouldn't read. Ignore the crazies!

As long as you keep writing your own fic, the way you please, I will continue to read it :) Love it, but I've loved all of your fics.........angst, or no angst, it's awesome..........

Date: 11/14/2005 - 08:38 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
Hah, take that Cecily, you nasty little bitca! *spits* LOL. Might I just take a moment to express my complete and utter adoration of this story? Great, great job. And sorry to have to read those last three paragraphs - it's a shame that a few people can't appreciate an amazing story when they see it. This fic was only intended to be a few chapters long, and yet you gave the readers that were already loving this fic a lot extra by making the story longer than originally intended, and yet a couple of those same readers turn around and express dissatisfaction because there's a few chapters of angst. That doesn't make any sense to me. This story has very light angst compared to many others I've read, and besides, I think angst can serve to make a story more complex and interesting, and can make for a better developed plotline, as is happening with this story. I hate it when readers try to convince the author to change their work to suit them (believe me, I know, I write fanfic myself) I mean, where's the faith people? I know you're going to make things right with this fic (and between Buffy and Spike) when you feel the time is right, and I will continue reading until this fic comes to a close. I can't express how much I love this story and how impressed I am with your writing. I love the William characterization, the naughty Buffy, the amazingly hot smut, and now the angst and tears. It's been great, as I'm sure it will continue to be, and I can't wait to read more of this wonderful fic :)

Still reading and still loving it. Waiting patiently for all the rest. You are doing a great job.

I had to write even though I haven't read this part yet. I tend to print out the stories I read so I can read them during my son's down time during the day (when I should be doing housework!) Anyway while I was getting ready to print the chapter I noticed Your comments and I have to send my support. I wish I had the talent and imagination to write such wonderful stories. I have read several of yours, mostly on BSDiaries but I have always enjoyed them and this one is no exception. As a reader I am grateful to those of you who wite, and write well! I trust your judgment and know that the story will continue to be satisfying. The readers that complain should just stop reading because I know I wouldn't want to risk losing a good author over their complaints. If they have such strong feelings they should feel free to write their own stories and we can review them!
I will do my best to come back after reading the new chapters I read and review! Please keep up the good work!

glad to see cecily finally get hers....in a big way!!
Wish Buffy would open her eys though and think, "why would william come to the house, request for me, then show at the party I was attending?" This alone should merit her a least talking to him cause he has done nothing wrong and he is being punished for it. Worse of I have a feeling that he is the one whose going to be grovelling and begging and apoligizing and he has no reason to. All they need to do is TALK :P

You go girl! Great job... and I hope they work it out

Date: 11/14/2005 - 07:05 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
Great take that cecily...loved this chapter and really loved the William and mum chat...very funny....you gotta love Giles he is still the man!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that things are looking up for our Buffy and I smell a lovely reunion round the corner...thanks again and keep updating:)

oooh! loving this story... and can't really say for the angst tho, but heyyyy, it's keeping me on the edge of my seat =p... and damn right! i saw one of the reviews and it was quite... pushy! honestly loving this, and if those ppl want to dictate what goes on in it, well hell, THEY should be writing it! enjoying the story that YOU'RE writing... keep up the great work! =)

Date: 11/14/2005 - 06:15 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
It never ceases to amaze me how people think that it is OK to dictate to an author how they should write THEIR story. It is your story, you are doing the steering and I am just along for the ride. By the way it has been a wonderful ride and I am enjoying EVERY minute of your story. Thank you.

I just love this story! Every chapter is excellent! Great job!

Date: 11/14/2005 - 05:25 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
Hey, Great story, sorry you coping flack for the angst, I like it!

Date: 11/14/2005 - 03:05 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
Hi,
just wanted to say, that I enjoy the story very much and that I agree with you that a story needs some conflict to make the resolution more enjoyable. When I read a story I want to bite my nails (figuratively speaking) and you managed just fine to keep me as your reader on the edge of my seat. So, thank you and I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.

i hav 2 say, while im not a fan of angst i feel that urs is needed 4 the storyline, and im sorry u had to deal with that sort of crap from ur reviewers. i like ur characters, as they r different but not out of character. im praying 4 a happy ending!

Date: 11/14/2005 - 02:22 am Title: Chapter Twenty-Two
I'm one of those angst lovers. It kills me every time, and I may act like a big drama queen, but it sure keeps me coming back for more. You are definitely a master at it! Great to see Cecily get what was coming to her! Karma is a bitch! I also loved how William couldn't pull the wool over his mother's eyes. That was a great scene! I sure hope she and Giles are conspiring! Wonderful, hopeful little chapter! Thanks for the quick update. :-)

Don't change the story, it's sooo goood ! bravo, I love that ! But it's sad.... and it's great for the story, I know ! Please go on !

It is really so very sad that you had to write the last 3 paragraphs. It breaks my heart that anyone would try to direct a writer's story to suit themselves. I like both sweet fluffy tales and dark angsty tales and with all the wonderful fanfiction out there involving Spuffy - there is really no need to "blackmail" or bitch at an author because you don't like the direction they take their tale... and there are plenty of authors out there who ask people to please give them ideas on how they want the tale to unfold so there's something for everyone out there. Good for you Addie for sticking to your guns and writing what you want the way you want it - you have MANY MANY fans out there and you are by far one of the most talented authors I have every read (and I'm talking worldwide - not just Spuffydom). I place your tales right up there with my other fav professionally published authors like Christen Feehan, Stephen King AND Joss Whedon! You TOTALLY ROCK and even though I ADORE the Spuffy-smut and Spuffy-cuddles - I also ADORE your stories... angst and all! Keep em coming in traditional Addie Logan style! As long as I have internet access - I will be a SATISFIED, WELL ENTERTAINED fan of your MARVELOUS WRITING STYLE and WELL THOUGHT OUT TALES! (sorry to ramble on, but I went back and read some of the reviews with angst complaints and they really pissed me off on your behalf.) Thank you so much for sharing your tremendous story telling ability! More please - angst and all!

Yay!i i hated Cecily! And I loved Giles for blackmailing her!! He rocks!! I also liked how cool William's mom was about his relationship with Buffy, I hope he takes her advice and talks to her again!
