Bio:
Air Force brat but lived most my life in/near Portland, Oregon.
Came to Buffy late -- had seen a few eps over the years but didn't start watching in earnest until early 2012. Before the 2012 fandom, I had already preferred Spike over all other characters, I just didn't know him that well yet. A Doctor Who/Torchwood fan, I had seen JM's turn on Torchwood and loved him there (God, I love an id character!), then solidified that love when I got hooked on BtVS.
I'm married to a man (since 1999) who has so many qualities in common with JM & Spike, it's no wonder I got hooked. (I mean it... I understand if some of you are jealous. My guy actually even has some facial/physical similarities... but not the abs, unfortunately. But then again, James himself doesn't have the abs anymore, either.) Luckily, he's not quite as jealous as James, so he's been amenable to going with me to meet James a number of times.
And now we're a part of a great group of friends from around the world who are fans of James and his band Ghost of the Robot; we mostly meet on Facebook, but sometimes get to meet in person, and they are ALL glorious people (some of whom I see lurking and contributing here). Most recently, I got to hang with a bunch of these fine fans, as well as James and the Ghosties (well, Sullivan and Charlie), for a whole week on the Comic Con at Sea cruise.
Have been thinking about getting started writing, but concerned my plot/dialogue skills won't be sufficient. Those elements aren't important, are they? ;-) I am an excellent editor, however: I can tighten up someone else's writing, and am especially strong on mechanics, so if spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, or vocabulary/word use are not your strong suits, I may be the beta for you!

Dark and angsty, but a little tiny bit hopeful aby the very end. Some typos, but beautifully written.

Gorgeous gorgeousness. Love it.. hot and sweet and insightful. Good for Buffy, good for Spike. Wish they could have matured this much on the show. Very well done!

Good start to the story, but it could use a good beta. Several grammar errors, and the writing could use a little bit of polish. But I'm really intrigued so far, so really good start. =)
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 3: A rising force
Hmm. Good chapter despite the grammar errors, but it would have been better to see it before the previous chapter, I think.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 4: A return of friends
Ooh, good way to end the chap. Good dialogue for Spike. :)
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 5: A version of the past
Good chapter, though a bit rushed. Again, just needs a bit of polish. Dialogue is good, I'm loving Dawn & Xander here. Buffy sounds too British here and in the previous chapter, and still some grammar/spelling errors.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 20: A little bit of history repeating
Very good. The little errors still need fixing, but you are really at weaving a compelling tale.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 25: A plan explained
Love the "Buffy was legend, WtB was myth" line.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 28: A small victory
=) love the author's note... I agree. I'm being distracted by Spike right now!
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 32: Epilogue
Fantastic story, I really loved it. Heaps of errors. .. fixing them would make this a much better read, but it's still definitely worth the time. Could have used more smut, you did fine on the love scene.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 22: A scene replayed
I love Xander's "I have a really bad idea." Hilarious, and so in character.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 23: A welcoming committee
Oh, man.... genius speech by Xander. Heart warming.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 6: A little closer
Good chapter. Love the bits with Spike's patchy memory, and Buffy's apprehension.
Date: 01/15/2014 Title: Chapter 18: A realisation
Oh, my god, that was powerful: "No, I don't love you yet." Squeeeee! Simply amazing; what a fantastic moment. Very nicely done. =)

The idea for this story is not bad, but the writing needs work to make it a pleasant read. The smut and heat between Spike and Buffy is excellent, though... very steamy.

Good story, but supremely angsty. A sweet epilogue would have been a nice balm. Some typos, grammar errors.
