Well I'm liking the start! You've set the scene for our story, the writing flows without stumbling or alternately forcing the story along too fast to ring true, and the main players all seem to be people we could like or identify with in some way. As per usual Buffy's innate stubborness seems intact and showed itself in a couple of places in this set-up chapter (e.g. her dogged determination to get the dance routine and in hearing, though somewhat brushing off, Willow's words of warning). Will follow with interest 8-)

Some well-meaning teacher told you that punctuation and capitlizating names and sentence beginnings was irrelevant,didn't they? They were wrong. Please slow down long enough to maintain some basic grammatical structure, okay? The story idea is interesting but the grammar and punctuation is very distracting.

Author's Response: Thanks, I promise to go over and capatalise names and beginings of sentences when i get a chance!

I thought it was just me... this is word for word (think the title is the same too)

Author's Response: hey, i did post this story on AFF a while ago but due to RL i didnt get to finish it. if its still not the story your thinking of please let me know, i wouldnt want to steal anyone elses work knowingly or not! thanks
