I am 41 years old and live in Alabama. I work as a 911 emergency dispatcher for the local sheriffs office, enjoy cosplay and gaming, as well as writing. I have recently returned to Spuffy fanfic after a long hiatus and have been working on rewriting my first story, Breathless. For the past several years I've been writing Walking Dead fanfic, which can be found over on Archive of Our Own under the pen name SerenityTWD, if anyone is interested.

Summary: William ‘Spike’ Giles and Buffy Summers are both students at Sunnydale High, but they lead two very different lives. Spike has it all – looks, wealth and popularity. Buffy has nothing – since her parents divorced, she’s been living in the servants’ quarters of the Giles mansion, where her mother earns a meager living as a maid. But beyond these differences, they have a secret relationship – at school, Spike pretends not to know her, but at night he visits her room with growing regularity…

Great update, love the POV aspect. Really lets a reader get into the mind of a character. I understand how you must be feeling without internet at home. I live WAY out in the country and DSL isnt offered as of yet, so I can only update on my work days. Which can be really annoying when I want to write! Keep up the good work, looking foward to more!

Summary: Takes place after 'Dead Things'. After the fight in the alley, Spike disappears without a trace. A strange demon makes a truce with the Slayer, bringing news of a slave trade that's popped up right under her nose.

Just caught up on the last two chapters and wanted to say that they are great!

Looking forward to seeing Willow at work...

Summary: COMPLETEDBuffy joins the military and heads off to Basic Training. The Boot Camp experience can be rough enough to endure, but there’s something, or rather someone that will make her time spent becoming a soldier ten times worse - a Drill Sergeant sent straight from the bowels of hell that takes an instant dislike to her mere presence............. Spike. He’s evil, he’s mean, he hates her but even worse... he lusts for her. This is not a military fic or even a fic about the military. The Army serves only as the backdrop-setting to the story, so don’t shy away from reading. Winner of Best Fantasy at Love’s Last Glimpse Awards, round 19. Spuffy Awards Round 13: Judges Choice; Most Original Plot, Best Fantasy Saga. Readers Choice: Best Fantasy We Missed the Bed Again. Judges hand picked for special acknowledgment. Cradle of Humanity awards: Winner - happy workers awards, runner up - best smut

Oh! Yea! So happy for Spike that they are getting married, as well as the fact that Buffy finally shared her good news. I really LOVE this story and think that you are an enormously talented writer! Look forward to more, as always!

Author's Response: I guess I just felt timing was everything. THe propsal before the knowledge of becoming a father seemed somehow fitting for these two. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the update hon and wow, am I blushing right now or what from your compliment. Thank you so much sweetheart, I really mean that. Hugs you tight.

LOVED IT! Course, the delivery part was a bit much for me. Made me shiver in disgust, but only because I am adamantly against pregnancy and everything to do with it...NOT because of the story, because you wrote it all very well! Eagerly anticipating more!

Author's Response: LMAO, against pregnancy huh? Giggles, you may change your mind someday, but then again, I didn't enjoy being pregnant with either of my kids but it was worth it, hee hee. Glad you enjoyed the final chappie sweety, thanks so much for the great review. Smooches.

Summary: **Winner for Best Fantasy Readers Choice at the Spark and Burn Awards **After being dumped by her boyfriend, Angel, Buffy is forced to spend the summer with her mother's boss, Cordelia Chase. Just when things start to look up, Cordelia's playboy husband Spike turns her world upside down.

Just wanted to say congrats on getting the other story started! Haven't had a chance to sit down and read it as of yet (about to go to a bball game) but wanted to let you know that having 2 stories really helped my writers block in most cases. Get stuck on one, go to the other! Good luck and I promise to read when I get home tonight! I must now go dry my hair!!!! !TORI

Author's Response: Thanks Honey, lucky you going out on a saturday - all I did was get my hair cut LOL - I hope you like it and will catch up with you soon

Ok, so I finally got to read it. Actually, I ran to my computer first thing after the ballgame to read it. My eyes are brimming with tears for Spike! As usual, Buffy had to be a total bitch to him. But, I have faith in you my dear, that her heart will change in the long run. Looking forward to reading more!! (soon please!) Later tater.

Author's Response: Thanks Serenity - this will be a LOT smaller that the lord - hopefully only a few chapters. I just needed a break and I could not get this out of my head

Loved it! So cute, lighthearted and utterly sexy at the same time.

As far as the Fire Engine, there are quite a few recipes floating around out there. The one you used happens to be one of my fav drinks, but I've always known it to be a Shark Attack. Love it! Uber-yummy!

Great story!

Holy Cow! Spike has his soul, right? They gave him the soul to ensure that he wouldn't kill after being dechipped?!?! Great...totally great!

Author's Response: Nice little twist that one was. But even with a soul he will do anything to protect her, and he might just have to do that. And yes, they gave him to the soul to try and keep him under control .....but only one person could ever control our Spike

Ok, so I typed out this long and eloquent review and lost it when the site didn't take it for some reason. Boo. Anyway, the gist of it was that this was a great update, glad to see everything going fairly well for our blonde duo. Loved the nasty little remarks Dawn kept throwing in, such a little sister thing to do.

Hope things are going well for you over in your neck of the world. Glad to have you back!

Author's Response: Hi babes. I have been up to my eyes lately, but saying that I hope to be back on track soon. I've not even had time to read your new one 'FP', but I promise I will very very soon. Congratulations on your nominations babes, you really deserve them (Feeling Love Awards is hosted on my website, so I know ALL about them )
