Maybe talking with Spike would have helped Buffy but she isn't ready for that. But the dreams got her to research :) Must be very important for her *g*. But discovering that Isobel only had a year when called is sad. If the Council got it right.
Sounds as if Isobel maybe claimed Edmund? I don't know what her almost black eyes and the biting could mean then (except only biting).
Looking forward to the next part.

Seems talking about it helped Buffy. Spike helped more because he could guess what Buffy wasn't telling ;-)
So Buffy was wrong again, Edmund didn't want to hurt Isobel. I wonder what she'll make of it if she's awake again.
Daily updates, neat :))

Beautiful chapter, absolutely beautiful. I love how Spike guessed what the dreams were about right away; he's so insightful. And that last bit with Edmund and Isobel was so poignant, I really hope Buffy gets the message. Glad to hear it's already finished, looking forward to reading the rest!

Poor tormented girl, perhaps both of them. Though Isobel seems to have so much more to lose, she's found a home with Edmond, something more than she imagined. And Buffy so quick to see the dark spot brought by this little tale seems to be so crushed that I wonder if she's still missing the message. Though I love Spike hitting the nail on the head, both in wheedling the details out of her, and the ultimate message. Always knew her best. Totally adore this story, and Love the idea that there is another infamous Vamp Slayer couple existing somewhere in history. One of my new favs.

i'm loving it. keep going and i'm kinda upset that it's only nine chapters, but as long as you don't kill me with a cliffhanger at the end, it should be fine.

great chapter

you update and i'll keep reading

So Buffy jumped to conclusions; good to see Isobel is still alive as is Edmund. Seems that Isobel's story will become important for Buffy. It (=Isobel) is telling her a lesson.
Because I don't know how Isobel's story is gonna end I don't now that will influence Buffy. It gave her to think already even it she draw the wrong conclusion. Spike not knowing of this dreams must be confused ;-) I don't think he knows these too.
~ Looking forward to more.

You create such a wonderful picture (well at least in side my friend's and my minds). The way we are drawn into the story, as if we are part of it, observing the scene is amazing.

OK so how long can either Slayer stay away from their respective Vampires? Another interesting update. Yep I for one am glad you're putting in the time. Loved it.

Hopefully this is my last post on this since I don't want to take over the review section.

I apologize if you thought I was telling you have to put more Spike in it.. It isn't meaning to insult your story or any other story that doesn't have Spike a lot. Yes, I did say "put more Spike in it" But I didn't realize that you would take it so seriously. Like I'm telling you the way to write your story.
Like the way you find insulting that I didn't get these characters a chance.

I find insulting that you think I haven't given this story and the new characters a chance. I have given them a chance. I have given them 3 chapters of a chance and more of a chance when I continue to read and see if this story is for me. . Not to say that I dislike the new characters. But I can't say they are holding my interest either. The reason why I will give this story more time because you are just starting. And I like your stories. I think you are one of the best Spuffy writers out there. If you were a new author or I didn't know the author than I would have probably stop reading it after this chapter. . Probably let the author get some chapters up before I take the time to read it and see if the story is for me. Which I do a lot with new authors. Mainly because I want to know if the author updates their story. Nothing bugs me more is to start a story than after a chapter or two there are no more updates.

So, I really hope that you don't feel insulted as an author from me anymore. Cause if it wasn't the fact that I like you and your stories. I already would have stopped reading this.

And yes, I like my Spuffy stories to focus on Spuffy. I do like a lot of Spike. But that doesn't mean that I dismiss stories or other characters because there may not be lots of Spike or Spuffy. I have liked stories or characters that took a while to get to Spuffy or Spike. But I will be honest. If it takes forever than I don't read those stories. Not to say this story is taking forever. It has only been 3 chapters. But like you said this is a Spuffy site. Most readers want to read about Spuffy.

Peace

Author's Response: We wouldn't have to take over the review section if you weren't hiding behind a lack of screen name. You've chosen to keep your comments anonymous, and this is the only way I can respond to them.

Look, not everyone wants stuff that's only Spuffy. Some people are liking this. And yes, some people aren't. I can tell from hits and reviews that this isn't as popular as my stories without OC's. That's fine. I don't care. But if you're going to read it, then accept it for what it is. Leaving reviews that are nothing but complaints because you don't like the type of story it is are rude. Your comments were not neither helpful nor necessary. I know this story has stuff that isn't "just Spuffy." But I've chosen to bring in another couple for my own reasons. If you don't like that, fine, but why do you have to complain to me about it? And yes, your review was a complaint. It wasn't constructive criticism. It wasn't even really a review. It was you saying you want more Spike. Why do I need to know this? Why do I need to have something so negative handed to me because you like your stories a certain way?

By all means, read what you like. But if a story isn't for you, then do the polite thing and move on without complaining to the author. This story was also written for a challenge, as the author's note clearly states so I HAVE to focus on another Slayer besides Buffy in order for it to be viable for the challenge. I decided to post it here because it is Spuffy, and I thought some Spuffy fans might enjoy reading it, too. If you're not, fine. If you want to "give it more time," fine. Just keep all your negativity and complaints to yourself unless you have something productive to say.

Wow, I never said that you had to put more Spike in it. I said that story may not be for me because of the lack of Spike.

I will give this story a little more time. But if I feel like there isn't enough Spike or Spuffy then I will stop reading it. The reason why I'm giving it time it is because I' m a fan of your stories. Although, I never thought that you would take my post so seriously. Like I telling you have to put more Spike in it. I'm not. Relax and calm down.

Author's Response: Well, seeing as the entire review was nothing but a complaint about a lack of Spike, there wasn't much else i could take from it. If the story's not for you, fine. I don't have to know that -- you can just not read it. Personally, I find it a little silly that instead of trying to read the story for what is there you're focusing on what isn't there. This is a Spuffy story, it has a very Spuffy message, but I'm using other characters to tell it. And for someone to leave a review complaining about that because they can only read stories with lots of Spike is something that, as an author, I find a little insulting. It's like you're telling me that I'm incapable of writing compelling original characters and you're only interested if I give you a story you that fits perfectly in to what you already know you like.

Reading this story and harping on what you perceive as a lack of Spike and Spuffy since the very first chapter is not giving the story a chance. You've already gone into it looking at it as something you might not like, which isn't fair to me or the story, If it wasn't Spuffy, it wouldn't be on this site. Plain and simple. And personally, I like what I've done with Isobel and Edmund, and I don't really know how I feel about someone dismissing them outright they way you have.


Author's Response: And actually "More Spike, please" is telling me to put more Spike in it. There's no other way to take the statement "more Spike" than looking at it as a request for "more Spike."
