Author's Response: Wow, I'm blushing right now. Publish this story? Don't know if any company would take it to be honest. As for epublishing, I'm actually working on it, it just takes time. I am so super thrilled you've enjoyed TE that much - I'm tickled pink and blushing barn red, hee hee. Such a lovely review darling darling, thank you so much. Hugs you tight for making my day.

okay, so... read your note, which I'm ashamed to say, I usually don't. and surprise surprise, I've been following this story ever since you started it, and never once have I left an review. before you start throwing things my way, I have to say in my defense, that I actually let this story rest after about the 28th chapter, waiting for you to complete it, so that i could read it in one sitting.

and then when I saw that finally it was completed, I started from the beginning, just in case I'd forgotten something.

and omg, how much one forget when you're ping-pong-ing between several wip's. I absolutely loved the whole thing, beginning to end. everthing was so well constructed and well articulated, I couldn't get enough. One of my favourite moments is Buffy's trip to London, and all the agony it brought, but then again I am a fan of the angsty but happily-ended stories.

so, to sum up, I loved your story. alot. and I very much like to see another epilouge-chapter, maybe with some babies? but on the other hand I liked the way you ended it, full of hope and promise, so don't mind my rambling.

hope that I get the message across somewhat, english is not my native language. all the best

Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you so much sweety. I'm super happy you decided to leave a review and oh boy a, I blushing from the lovely compliments. I mean as a first fic I didn't truly expect for it to be recieved as well as it had and to think you've enjoyed it as much as you have after reading it all over again is just astounding to me. Yeah, it really killed me to have to write the London trip but it was necessary I suppose to get them to move forward. Wow, english isn't your native tongue? You could have fooled me sweety, giggles. Thank you so much again for the wonderful review - it really made my day, made me smile. Smooches to you darling.

Great story. I loved how you used Lorne. And putting himwith Anya was fantastic. The Spuffy lovin' was hot. You rock.

Author's Response: I simply adore Lorne - his character is where I can let loose with the humor. I couldn't resist pairing him with Anya for the simple fact both their personalities are so strong and even if they seemed a bit polar at times, I thought they complimented each other well. Glad you liked that angle and pleased you enjoyed the spuffy luvin. Thank you so much for the lovely review, smooches to you.

Loved It! It was amazing!

Author's Response: Thank you sweety, huggles.

I really loved this story, it was quite a ride and very well written not that I have come to expect anything less from you. I don't get to read as often as I would like but when I finally get to check out SR I am always thrilled to find an update from you. Seeing this update finished the story was bittersweet but hopefully the next time I get to read some Spuffy you will have another story posted. Thanks for the quality work you do.

Author's Response: I'm sorry you don't get to read much these days sweety but I am glad to have kept you entertained with TE. I'll be finishing up my other 2 wips and then hopefully ready to post something new. Thank you so much for the lovely compliment and review darling, take care. Smoochies.

What a totally wonderful ending! I'm going to miss this fic but can't wait to read more from you!

Author's Response: Thank you so much sweety. I'm glad to have finally wrapped it up - didn't like all that agnsty stuff, giggles.

i love it.i cant believe its the last chapter ,this was the first spuffy story that i read, its great.

Author's Response: Really? Wow, cool, and I'm super glad you enjoyed it sweety, thank you so much.

This fic turned out great! Great job with it, the imagery and th twists it took along the way.

Author's Response: Thank you sweety. It was definetly a roller coaster ride for me to have written it, and I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Huggles.

Much love! Really superb. And a great ending to the fic, with Buffy turning the vixen.

Author's Response: Thanks my friend. I truly apreciate it - boy I can't wait to have some down time to finish reading your stuff - soooo amazing and hot.

I'm one of those horrible "never left a review" people, and I'm sorry for that. I have loved this story over the past year and always anxiously awaited updates. You capture thier chemistry so amazingly well and I love the way you portray all of those tiny little moments. For me, those little moments, looks, or touches are what really distinguishses you as an author. So often, I encounter stories where it reads as simply as a rush to an orgasm rather than a genuine journey between two characters that I adore. So, thank you for that and sharing your ideas with us.

Author's Response: LOL, that's ok, I'm just ecstatic that you did leave me a reivew, it really does help feed the muse. Wow, what a truly awesome compliment sweety, thank you. I too feel that those little moments, especially an unspoken look or touch convey so much and contrubute more than dialogue can express sometimes. It was important to me to include things like that and I'm uber hapy you picked up on it all. I'm blushing like crazy right now, I mean seriously. And I get that - reading stories that simply 'brush' over the moments that could have been embellished a bit more. I siply love to try and 'draw' the reader in, make them feel what's going on at a deeper level. Glad I accomplished that for you sweety. Again, thank you sooooo very much for taking the time to review, and such a wonderfuk warm and fuzzy review it is, you made my day, honestly. Smooches to you my friend.

You know I have followed from the beginning and loved every bit of it! Thanks

Author's Response: Awwwww, thank you sweety, glad you enjoyed the entire fic. Smooches.

thank you for the story
hugs right back atcha

do you think your muse might want to finish in the army now soon too?


Author's Response: Oh yes, it's back to work on IAN, just a lot less time open for writing these days, *sighs*. Glad you liked the epi sweety, thanks so much for the review. Hugs you tight.
