Delurking to say how much I'm stunned to see the way you reacted to some reviewers.

I don't know if you're a good writer , it's the first story from you that i'm reading and i'm not impressed with your characterizations - it' s a shame because your story is interesting - -- but honestly , I 'm sure most of the people reading don't like all the angst you're throwing their way.
But since you treat them so arrogantly , some of them wisely decided to shut up.

How about you tone down the ass factor with some of your poor readers trying not to praise you ?

And this wasn't a way to ask you to change your story.

And calling them cowards ? Not signing a review is maybe not a polite thing to do but frankly , who gives a real name here ? I'm Darla , and i could be Lullabye , Olive, Cecily , Luvpet , or anyone else , would it be better ?

--And please , don't waste your energy in answering me .
You can make a special note at the beginning of the next chapter : " the angst of being a fanfic writer and how to be the queen of a pity party."

Author's Response: Oooh, and then will you respond with the angst of being a reviewer forced to read a story she doesn't like? Because I know this has to be oh so upsetting for you. You know what, you want me to be a nasty author, I wll be. You want a nasty response. You got one.

Bite me, bitch.

There. Are you happy now? I hope I made you day. Flame on...

Uh.. Robin again. Buffy fell asleep at work. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, I guess. ~ hopefully because talking to Spike at night I hope, long talks. Okay one night then. seemed to be developing an ever-increasing intimacy and the fact remained that she still had feelings for Spike and She didn't need to worry about her heart getting involved in these nightly chats of theirs—it already was. Good I think for them getting back together even if Buffy doesn’t believe it now. ~
Eve…. so Spike talked to Buffy even if she was there? Yeah :-D Who's bed are you leaving mine for, huh? She, Eve, is angry and right. Spike confessed to himself that he is sharing more of his feelings with Buffy than with Eve :)
Buffy *sigh, big one*. Spike chose Eve again even if he thinks he is betraying Buffy this way. (Sorry, I wear my Spuffy glasses again.) Even if Spike had a good argument for staying it made me sad. And it was not only Buffy chicken out because of what people could say about their relationship. There was a bit more too. Things they have to work out…. Buffy had the right idea why he hadn’t called too and cried again well brought tears to her eyes.
Ah.. Sorry? No, I’m not sorry that Spike had performing problems with little Spike, that he couldn’t do ‘it’. Seems his subconsciousness has decided what he wants :-D I’m even more glad because Eve was such a bitch to him, hurt him, making him leave *YAY Scoobie dance*. I’m easy to please, huh? Not really, but this is a start. I know Eve is hurt and therefore hurt Spike still I’m not on her side here (sorry Eve but not really). I’m so happy because of the way the chapter ended. Eve did herself no favor to attack him like that, the real bitch (Diva?) she is, huh? That was Spike’s warning, now he has seen her for what she is. If he really looked. What Spike is doing with Buffy at the moment it is like the song lyrics War bestimmt nicht immer treu. Doch ich hab dich nie betrogen. = Was not certainly always faithful. But I have never deceived (betrayed) you. That is what Spike is doing, he has an emotional affair with Buffy, kind of. I don’t know how the definition is for one. Oh I don’t want Spike to betray Eve, I want them to break up so these two can back together again *gg*. I don’t want him to betray Buffy either. Spike should simply break up with Eve, but I know he doesn’t see it my way ;-), I know. At last he saw a glimpse of Eve’s bad side. I loved that Spike’s emotional connection with Buffy got stronger, even if they talked only about ‘normal’ things and not about their relationship. I wonder if they will continue to talk now, how Buffy will react next time Spike calls. Buffy is getting no sleep when he called and neither did she get sleep when he didn’t call. She felt betrayed even if she doesn’t have the right for it at the moment. They still are connected together even if both have problems to see (acknowledged) it.
And like I said before: If I have something to say I say it. If not I’m not. But when I sign it (even if I can’t log in any longer). Not using a name? Coward. *nods*
I stand for my opinion with my name.

can't we just string up eve in the town square? that would work out for everyone i think. i know it would work for me. though, i think her saying those things to him just kinda drove home what buffy had tried telling him that first night they talked on the phone. but i am happy that they're talking again. maybe they could start out as friends again. friends is better than nothing. and what's it gonna take for spike to admit he didn't just used to love buffy, but somewhere, deep down, he still does?

Man... How does she dare being that insensitive towards Spike?! Yeah, she's hurt and jealous, but the talking about sister fantasies was completely unnecessary. Please, Spike, dump her... *evil grin*

I understand both Buffy's and Spike's doubts and fears - it's been a long time after a completely unsatisfying end for both of them. I'm glad they keep talking to each other and share their past-time stories. Maybe they can rebuild a basic confidence.

I liked this chapter a lot. I guess we all know what it's like if we do something or let something happen which is, rationally looked at, not very clever or even dangerous...Love isn't about logic.

Only takes one egg to spoil a basket now doesn't it. Seems some people need to grow the fuck up.


Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh awesome chapter hun. I have to give Eve credit for paying attention. She is right on t he money. Spike and buffy need to figure out quick where their hearts lie. It's not fair to Robin and Eve to get this hurt,over past antics together. You just keep writing this story and the rest of us will keep reading.


PS if you had a name you could file harassment chargers by now. That would be sweet justice. And you alreayd have a good lawyer to help you.

I've just caught back up on this story after giving it a long miss... (when Buffy blew off Spike I thought there wasn't a lot of places this could go), but I'm back... and I'm getting bad vibes about Spike now. Is he really an asshole who just wants to keep a woman on the line so he's got someplace to get his rocks off on? Is he really so dumb that he honestly cannot see that Buffy means more to him than Eve, and always has? What does he think those late night phone calls are all about? The ones that he, apparently, instigates and raises the temperature on? Does he really not have a clue that his calls are re-awakening locked away feeling in Buffy? Does he actually care about Buffy, above and beyond himself and Eve, at all?

GAAAARRRRGHHHHHH *Chrissie pulls hair in frustration*

Author's Response: Buffy and Spike met again on Saturday. This is now Wednesday. They weren't going to jump back into each other's arms and dump their respective honeys over night. I know it's frustrating to watch them be hesitant, but please, do bear in mind while you're reading this that it has only been a few days for the characters. Give them a little time to get with the program. ;)

Hooray!!! The third step in the road to recovery! First you had them willing to see each other and talk, then they had genuine communication when they spoke on the phone. And now, best of all, the realization that despite the fact they are with someone else now and "should" be moving on, they are miserable without the other. I like that Eve's not stupid, and that she's lashing out when she sees she's losing him-- very, very human reaction to the threat. Great update!

Seems that very dangerous place where people crawl inside their own minds trying to figure out what's best for themselves and all other parties involved... That same little space that usually houses the argument between Truth and Denial... Love that they've both moved in. And it's all so true. It hurts to go there but it may just kill you if you don't. I love it. Love that Spike and Eve are beginning to drift, that Buffy can't sleep for fear she'll miss his call, it's just all good. And so true, though my torchure is fear I'll miss my alarm in the morning, so I don't sleep waiting for it to wake me, but same general problem, hers is just more fun to read about! Looking forward to the next update.

Ewwww, even though Spike didn't have sex with Eve I still feel I need to shower. Whatever the fanfic equivilent is to sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "I'm not listening" is what i wish I could do when it comes to Spike and intimacy with anyone but Buffy. I was wondering when we were going to get Spike's point of view again. Spike really should have been more considerate when calling Buffy in the middle of the night.

Aw, poor Eve is all upset cause spiky-jr didn't come "up" and play (too bad, so sad). And so she open's her nasty mouth and inserts her foot big time! What Fun. Hope Spike and Buffy see the light soon and know they can only be with each other to be truly happy! More please.

And the bitch reveals her claws....

Run away, Robin, before you get hurt!

Buffy...well, serves her right, feeling like this. She threw away the best thing that ever happened to her.

And Spike's worry about trusting Buffy again is certainly valid...the girl does nothing but lie to herself, and then others. She's still so insecure that she can't accept and like who she is inside, and focuses on the validation of others.

I have to say I got nervous when Spike said he would stay, but I think it turned out that maybe Spike would see how others would think of his relationship with Buffy, and of course Eve would show some of her true colors. Spike needs to understand how Buffy thought it would be viewed, but we all know that true love always wins out, maybe not right away, but one needs the proper ammunition to fight each battle, and understanding is the first battle. Great chapter and thanks

Wow, that must be a heavy dose of humiliation, not being able to get it up for your girlfriend. It almost made me feel sorry for Eve. Almost. Even though there was no Spuffy interaction this chapter, I thought it was a good look at how their conversations were really affecting their lives as a whole, not just at three in the morning. Good work, Addie. I can't wait for the next chapter!

SO flattered that you chose my review to respond to.

"putting up wih complaining reviews"
"don't have to read it,... said multiple times"
"don't particularly appreciate being harrassed"
"puts me off somewhat"
HYPERSENSITIVE????

i am sure you realize, good authors/artists take good with bad reviews (not that that was even a bad review) i actually like the story.
if you only want to read people throwing praise your way and pretend that there are no constructive/honest responses to any parts of your stories you should ignore the review section and carry on with your story. (or lighten up when you DO get a review that does not sit well with you)
bottom line, if you really believe in your story then tell it no matter what any feedback is BUT don't go attacking a review because you do not like a reader honestly stating their feelings

Author's Response: This will be my last response to you, because I'm not starting this up again. I had hoped this sort of thing was over, but apparently not.
I can take constructive criticism. What I don't appreciate is unconstructive complaints. Obviously, you knew your review was not something to be taken well because you couldn't even sign your name, so don't be outraged that I responded the way I did.
If you've been paying attention, then you know what I've been putting up with, and would know that this reivew would be bothersome to me. If you didn't, well, I'm sorry, but this is coming after two months of getting harassed, and I'm not so much hypersensitive as tired of it.
Saying you're tired of reading angst is not constructive criticism, and it will not be treated as such. I know where this story is going, you don't, and your review was in no way helpful to me. If you have anything actually constructive to say, I'd love to hear it, but otherwise, you can choose to either read the story the way I'm writing it or not read.
