Just wanted to drop and line... great story.

I'm a bit suprised he didn't sing Wind beneath my wings... but I guess that no longer applies

Author's Response: Hehehe, umm, he didn't sing Wind Beneath My Wings because I completely forgot about that little reference. Thanks for the review!

Allison,

You did a great job! Thanks for catching this!!!

Last night I read the summary and thought it was a bit weird to have Buffy as a computer scientist (my field) and thought the author was stretching. I read the reviews, but I didn't put two and two together. Now I know.

You ROCK!

And please notice all the warnings, this is not a fluffy story--but it is Spuffy. *Nominated at the Forbidden Awards for Best Spuffy Long and the Spark and Burn Awards for Best Dark and Best Fantasy and at the Cradle of Humanity Awards for Best Story--thank you!* Runner Up for Best Spuffy at Big Bad Awards

good job!

Summary: COMPLETED Buffy Summers is successful and content with every aspect of her life save one: her sex life. Sick of methodical vanilla sex with her current boyfriend, she still has never been able to achieve an honest first-rate orgasm in her entire life. Then one day she stumbles upon a mysterious escort service online that offers her hope of a perfect sexual experience and impulsively decides to seek out their help. What starts as a simple business transaction turns into a night of unbridled passion-filled sex with the handsome stranger the service pairs her with, leaving both of them to question if once is truly enough. Special noteThis is NOT porn without plot. Matter of fact it's loaded with plot. Please do not shy away from this theme as I think you will be pleasantly surprised as to what's really inside. Thanks.

I've had the pleasure to read this while doing the "mod" thing... I normally don't go for the high school fics... but this caught my eye around the 2nd or 3rd chapters. Very intriguing.

Summary: Set at the very end of Season 2 with an alternate ending to the last episode. After Drusilla dies, Spike goes feral over the loss of his sire and drags off the injured Slayer. His demon decides it wants to keep her, make her his. He nurses her back to health, but she has no idea what he has planned for her once she gets healthy enough.

Interesting story, but it needs a human beta reader to clean up some things a software AI cannot catch. We all use the MS Word spell/grammar checker with other software packages to check for obvious things, however, stories also need a human beta (not the author) to make sure the sentences and actual content flow. It would help tremendously, trust me.

Contact me (karbear57@yahoo.com) in January if you have not found a beta. I am willing to step up and help



Author's Response: Thanks I will, if I haven't found anyone.

Summary: We know that the council is full of little men in stuffed shirts with dreams of grandeur, but with if their muscle really wasn't any better? What if...Faith wasn't an anomoly? If there are cases of Slayers running amok all throughout history, and a band of vamps got caught in the middle? Let's just say: Spike was the cause of a few more Slayer deaths than the council was made aware of before the powers reeled him in. But at what cost to himself?
