That's a really beautiful banner you got there! Oh, this Spike did lost against the slayer and was taken out of his reality. So Buffy is trying now to be a better person in honor of Spike even when he's gone. {loves it} Oh and the demon was a car as it seems. And Spike II is back now.

Author's Response: Thanks, cordykitten! The banner is great and it's the first one that beanbeans has created for someone else - truly flattered. Yep, the demon was a car! LOL Glad you're liking and thanks for reviewing.

Hmmm, blackmailling your readers, I respect that. I want to see where this is going, so hurry on the next chapter.

Author's Response: LOL. No blackmail (there goes the respect!) and next chapter on its way. Thanks for reviewing.

it's a kinda blackmail, uh? but i'm happy to oblige 'cos this fic really deserv to be riviewed again and again! buffy's insight is way good... and i think soon there will be more action too. I wonder about this spike, still so "young", maybe less touched by his unlife (and by his undead companions)... how he will react to this unknown slayer? is she going to tell him? and will he believe her? okay... you sooo need to update. Soon! Please??

Author's Response: I think you are up for my newly instigated 'Loyal Reader and Reviewer' Award. I don't know which I enjoy more - writing, or knowing that someone is actually reading what I've written. Not blackmail at all - I do hope you read this stuff I'm putting down as it'd be just my luck to be talking to myself! LOL I love your questions but please don't feel coerced into making them. And I apologise if you're feeling blackmailed (I am so hoping you're joking there!) but if yo look at my reply to Sarah you will see my pity party and watch my ego take a bashing. But like I said to her, the percentage of people who are reading this and reviewing is actually higher than Buyer. Less than half the people who read chapter 1 of Buyer are still reading - although the reviews are holding pretty steady so those who are still reading are more likely to say so. I'm fascinated by all this 'cos new to it. And perhaps to explain how valued any type of response is - and that's not just me I'm talking about . So, definitely an update tomorrow - ready or not! Thanks again, klylu. Sorry to have rambled on - you can tell I'm taking a break from writing! LOL
