Ack! You took me from guffawing...“I’ve died and gone to hell,"... to aching... ‘I really don’t want to know what you’ve been through that you have to ask me that.’ ... and left me on tenterhooks. I almost regret reading this as a WIP, the way I can tell it's gonna twist me up. Almost.
Well done.
Author's Response: Thank you, caia! Don't want to twist you up so there will be a few calms along the way. Brace yourself for some bad stuff next week though.
Thank you for your lovely words. BFN.

Excellent as usual. Looking forward to getting to the meat of the story. Next weeks episode should be great. Thanks for writing.
Author's Response: Thank you, Stacy! Happy that you liked and next chapter should give a lot of imformation for you to get your teeth into.
Thanks for reviewing. BFN.

I just LOVE the way this fic is going..It's good to see the glimmers of the real Spike in there..
Poor Spike is just so damaged, and Buffy is just so mournful and lonely..I am just gleeful in anticipation of what I hope is to come. If ever two story characters have NEEDED one another more..then I don't know who they were.
You are doing a fantastic job! Looking forward to more : D
Author's Response: Hi, DaniD! Glad you liked that little peek at our boy. The two of them need each other badly - but wil they see that?
Thanks for your kind words and hope you enjoy next chapter - which I'm a bit nervous about. *gulps*

Author's Response: Thank you! More in a week.

ACK!! Cliffhanger! Cliffhanger! You're evil.. *LOL* I can't wait to see what happened to Spike to make him scream like that. Bad dreams, maybe?
Update soon, sweetie!
Author's Response: Sorry for the cliffhanger, luxferi! Don't quite know how that happened. *winks*
Update next Monday when all will become clear - if you read that bit! BFN, sweetie.

You made me teary-eyed. Poor B & S have been through so much emotional pain. Hope they can heal each other!
Author's Response: Sorry for the teary eyes. Yep, the pair have certainly had some bad experiences and I'm hoping the same as you.
Thanks for reviewing. BFN.

Enjoying the story immensely and am pained that I have to wait a week to read more! *sigh*
Author's Response: Am glad you're enjoying. Sorry to pain you but the only other option is for me to stop posting until it's finished - then I could post it quickly - but I don't think you'd like that!
Thanks for reviewing, sweetie.

Date: 02/06/2006 - 05:12 am Title: 5
please update soon! i really wanna know what happens. such a good writer!
Author's Response: Thank you! You'll have to wait until next Monday I'm afraid - and the next one will contain warnings. BFN.

This story is absolutely gutwrenching and painful. It brings me close to tears every chapter, but this one was really heart-breaking. You are very good at this. The whole set-up is very interesting, by the way, if you play this right, it could be epic very easily, maybe with the result of the initiative taken down completely. That would be the best besides a spuffy happy end that I could imagine. Anyway, I´m constantly looking for your updates and you´re doing very well. Keep going!
Author's Response: Thank you, Angi! Your fulsome praise has me blushing. Sorry you are finding the story painful and hope that I can reassure by saying that a few up wil accompany the angsty bits.
Will do my best re the Initiative - nasty folk that they are!
Thanks so much for reviewing. Monday is update day - which I'm trying to keep to as I have to write and get it beta'd in between. BFN.

I'm very impressed with this story. You've created a world both foreign and plausible, and done the same with the characters. I like your drained and yet deeply moral Buffy, as well as your broken down but still recognizeable (on the inside, at least) Spike. Well done, and I'm looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thank you, caia! I'm so pleased that you can see how they have become a product of their experiences here - but are still the essence of themselves underneath. More will be on its way Monday.

Really enjoying the story.
Author's Response: Thank you! Do hope that you always will.

Wowie. There seems to have been a plethora of slavery/subservience fics coming out lately and I'm not generally that interested in them. I think you've done a good job in capturing the reader's interest though with the larger questions...what impact would such a situation have on one's sense of identity, self-worth and respect for oneself, or indeed for others? Just as important, how do you maintain your sense of self when forced to subjugate all that you value? And at the end of the day what can you find that would make it worth trying at all? I love fics that make me ask more questions than they'll immediately answer so I'll definitely be for more. 8-)
Author's Response: Thank you, katakata! I am really glad that it is making you ask questions - it's making me do the same as I write it! It is so tempting to go for the quick fix but certain issues must be explored before they can move forward (IMHO). Hope you continue to read - and, of course, review!

I can't wait to see Buffy's reaction to the cock ring. This is a fascinating story. I just love it. I'm looking forward to the update.
Author's Response: Thank you, Carol. Am glad you're enjoying and reaction will be there next week.

Wow, yeah, she really has to explein to him exactly why he's there and what's expected of him.
Author's Response: Thanks, kim. Yep, he does need to be clued in.

very interesting. Poor Spike!
Author's Response: LOL. It has to get better - doesn't it?

I really love this story and look forward to every Monday to find out what is happening. I wish you could update more often but since you can't I know I have to learn to be more patient. Please make sure that you finish this story, I don't want it to be one of those unfinished ones. I hate when that happens. Well keep up the good work and thanks for a wonderful story.
Author's Response: Thank you, rach. Really can't write any faster without losing the plot! I know what you mean about WIPs and that's why I need to make sure I don't rush and then run out of puff! Have every intention of finishing - otherwise you can haunt me on LJ!

Date: 01/30/2006 - 02:38 pm Title: 4
i must tell u... your monday update is the only thing that make the first day of the week a bit better!
i totally need some kind of interaction between buffy and spike... a "real" conversation, maybe...
seeing spike so broken is really upsetting... he is a creature of great bravery and endurance. hope he will regain his "spark" soon!
PS i usually like angel but... i fear he won't be on the good side (at least, where spike's corcerned) in this fic...
Author's Response: Hi, klylu. Interaction will come - remember they've only been in each other's company for a few hours so far. Keep the faith for Spike - but Angel...
