Love that Willow is figuring things out. Their Buffy but not their Buffy all at the same time. And I'd imagine that this reality would certainly show much fodder for all those old Giles and Willow murmurings. Hope Spike can save her.
Author's Response: Giles/Willow murmurings are in full force belieeeeve me. Kinky. :) Glad you're still liking it, BuffyRat!

This disconcertingly normal alternate world is fascinating in its similarities and its differences. The vampires are a truly chilling bunch, and you've captured their malevolence nicely. William's barely repressed attraction is growing stronger with each chapter, and it's very entertaining and sexy. Buffy's continued confusion and desire to get back to her own messed up universe is heart hurting, though I'm enjoying how it's making her turn to Spike more and more.
The fight sequence was beautifully choreographed and That last line really brought the fear. Off to one more chapter. Thanks for the very entertaining read.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Brunettepet. I love getting the specifics of what you're enjoying, I'm so glad you're reading! Please keep letting me know what you think.

Giles, Willow and Xander make a truly scary trio.
Author's Response: I'm glad they're frightening, it was my goal! Thanks for the review!

ooh - I was wondering what would happen when she met Ripper, so suspenseful!! Luckily another chappie is up and I get to find out what happens right away : )
Author's Response: Oh, it's always nice to have another chapter waiting! Thanks for reviewing, Heidi.

Well I better had one more chapter to read ;-)
Bad cliffhanger...
I was worried when Buffy went hunting alone after she met Willow the night before. Sadly I was right. Buffy is in big trouble now... Hopefully someone is checking on her and will find out about Buffy's trouble.
Author's Response: Hehe two to read is better than one though! Good call on the being worried...silly Buffy, not taking back up. Thanks for reading!

Hmm.. Why couldn't have Willow explained a little more? :) Although what she said was very interesting. :) And Ripper was great. Can't wait for an update!
Author's Response: Thanks, Anna! I'll update soon, and yup, more and more will be revealed as the story continues! Glad you liked Ripper!

Yikes! William/Spike where are you? Buffy could really use a nearby diversion right about now.
Very intrigued about about what the root cause of this reality switcheroo is.
Author's Response: A diversion would definitely be helpful! The explanation of the switcheroo will be revealed bit by little bit...thanks for reading!

Now thats bad, loved it though and I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks, Nicka! Glad you're enjoying.

What a fantastic ending! William is wonderful but I can't help but wonder if Buffy will ever get back to her world, and what Spike might think of how she might have changed in how she reacted to him. I also can't wait to hear more and I love your take on what Giles as Ripper as a vampire is like, the differences and similarities. Great job.
Author's Response: Thank you, Ann! You're definitely not wrong in your wonderings about the future of this...universe. Glad you liked Ripper, too, He's just so deliciously evil.

Ooops!!! I meant to write I enjoyed the five entertaining chapters I just read, not four... looks like I forgot how to add today... lol! Sorry, again.

Yikes! I've gotten behind in my reviewing! Sorry about that *hands you a plate of cookies while asking for forgivness* I'm usually so good at catching new updates too. :( On the plus side I got to read four very entertaining chapters all at once, gotta say I'm really enjoying how the story is playing out. *bites nails* Can't wait to find out what happens next! :D
Author's Response: Oh, no problem! I'm just glad you're still reading! Mmm...cookies. So glad you're enjoying the story!
