I tried to email you back, but for some reason hotmail gave me a delivery failure notification. Anyway, here is my response. :)

I didn't mean to make you feel bad earlier. I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to behave like a prima donna bitch, lol. Actually, I was joking in my review (about the "ouch" I mean), but my smiley graphic didn't show up for some reason, so I guess it came off differently than I intended. A lot of people were turned off and abandoned the story during Part II and then picked back up during Part III, so I understand where you're coming from when you say you took a break from it. But I'm definitely glad you're still reading it. Originally, it was supposed to be a strictly "William" story - complete in one part and ending without his being turned. Obviously, the Muse had other ideas.

Please, please don't be embarrassed to have me read your story. I think it is good. Like I said, I very rarely read high school fics, so it's unusual for me to find one that holds my attention. Yours has. Plus, I'm just a sucker for William. :-)


Author's Response: I used the site to email you, so it probably didn't like that for a reply-to.

I felt so bad. Didn't think you were a prima donna bitch at all. I always intended to read the whole story. I'm going to start from the beginning because my brain is a sieve. I can enjoy it all over again, lol. I wasn't planning to skip the newly turned Spike chapters. I want to read them, I just uh...wanted there to be Spuffy light at the end of the tunnel? I think it's a credit to how well you wrote William that people were so sad to see him turned. I'm glad the story continued past your original ending. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. The only reason I started a high school fic was because of the challenge at Spuffy Fantasy (which I just realized I've failed to update in forever - oops - Livejournal is not my friend). High school is *cough* years back for me.

Thanks for reading :)

I have a feeling, that this fic is going to mirror parts of Wuthering Heights. I'm I right, is there going to be loads of angst and me shouting at Buffy later on???

grat chap now on to the next! xx

Author's Response: Well, it was supposed to have more tie-ins, but then I'm not sure what happened, it got away from me and other stuff happened, lol. Thanks for the review, Kat! :)

Fabulous first paragraph!

I'm enjoying the story - thanks for posting.

Author's Response: Thanks! I liked that paragraph too. Nail polish really is so tasty looking, it's kinda like cthe aroma of coffee. The taste of coffee is always such a disappointment to me compared to the smell, hehe :) Thanks for reviewing!

I love this story. I can never get enough William stories and the fact that you're quoting one of the books I would not be without if stranded on a deserted island, doesn't hurt either. I'd love to see how this fic progresses. Please update soon?

Author's Response: Thank you! I love William stories too. I have some more of this written, I'm just trying to get ahead a little this time. But there will be more :)

Buffy's already weaving her spell over him :D The minx! I like this story...it's a lot fresher than some of the other high school drama fics I've read.

Author's Response: Oh, that's the nicest compliment. I'm trying. There are (perhaps) unavoidably going to be really familiar settings and situations, I'm just hoping to do the best I can to dress them a little differently if possible. Thanks for the review!

Ah, Wuthering Heights. One of the few books of the 19th cent (and egg on my face if it's actually 18th) that I found easy to read. That's cute, that Buffy isn't that dumb. They will have more in common.

Author's Response: Yes, neither of them is dumb :) Nope, it's 19th, you're right. Safe from the egg! Thank you for reviewing!

Love reading this kind of high school AU. Doesn't every girl wish for moments like these? And discussing Wuthering Heights, well...sorry got lost in my daydream. :-)

Author's Response: Oh good, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I don't know about every girl, but I do! Thanks for reviewing :)

great update............... I love how William was strong enough to tell Buffy that she was smart enough to do her own work and that he would not do it for her. Good for William. Can't wait for the next update.

Author's Response: Me too. He may like her, but he's not going to let her push him around. Thanks for reviewing!

when i read the title, i was all 'again? AGAIN? oh boy, di i miss the first one?' lol

anyway, this fic is getting better and better. i just knew it! ;P

loved the lesson, and how they interact (buffy's first paper was hilarious)... and yes, i do think cathy was stupid too! lol

Author's Response: Haha. Yes, I knew the title was a little misleading :) Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Hehe, me too. William's "not one of my favorite characters" is my opinion, though of course the book is good.

Love this story, both characters are so full of potential. William can definitely get edgier and tougher and Buffy can be more intelligent and less fake. It looks like they'll start affecting each other; William affecting Buffy with the tutoring and Buffy probably affecting William with her looks and coy flirtatiousness. I love how she kinda tried to use her looks in this chapter to get her way, with the pout and touch. Even though she probably wasn't aware she was having that effect on him (and he on she with his voice), it's just fun to see the high school relationship of self-consciousness and shyness develop. Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite novels, and I found it rather peculiar that you included it in the story. I hope you just put it in because it reminded you of Spuffy on the show, or that it was your favorite book or something, and not that the events in the book will be repeated in this fic. Of course, this is a high school fic, so maybe you're just alluding to the social class differences. At any rate, it was a fun read, and I'm looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I like how William didn't let her get away with it, even though he was affected by her. Yes, trying really hard to remember back that far and what it felt like. Insecurity and confusion is what comes to my mind for that period for me.

Don't worry, this won't be an exact Wuthering Heights rewrite done in high school Spuffy (not sure how I'd accomplish that one anyway!). I wandered into using it for Buffy's report because I liked that quote and Buffy needed something to work on. I also liked the description of Cathy's love for Heathcliff, even though technically I suppose it's meant to be a cautionary tale.

I was kinda cursing myself after I did it, because I read it 15 years ago, so I had to go brush up a little. Initially, I liked that, as you said, the social class differences are there and that's very similar to a high school situation. In the book, who you marry can determine/raise/lower your 'worth'. In high school, make friends with the wrong person and you're branded. There may be some parallel things or events that happen along the way. I'm sort of still in the planning stage now, so anything I say now would probably end up not being true!. I will say that it's not going to be a tragic disaster like Cathy and Heathcliff. Just me personally, but I do hate getting hooked on a fic in progress and then everyone gets killed off in the end. (Unless they do it in a really cool way, then I still hate it, but I can appreciate it!) I will admit to cheating sometimes and looking at the last page of suspicious completed fics to prevent this from happening (just to see if there's a happy Buffy and Spike). Only one person has tricked me so far and that was by putting a happy dream sequence at the end even though Spike was dead! I was so bummed...lol. So, consider the last page looked at - there will be a happy ending of some sort. 'Cause I'm a sap. A long-winded sap. Thanks for the review.

Ah.. that's why Buffy wrote it; she thinks she has a maintain her reputation. I hope she won't forget what it may cost her...
Loved the update :)

Author's Response: Oh, thank you very much! I appreciate it.

Yes, Buffy's a little status conscious. Thank you and thanks for reviewing!
