Bio:
I' m 28, just got the exact job I've been avoiding all my life (working with my dad... but it seems OK after all... go figure!!!) and have almost finished my MBA. Been a Spuffy fan for ever, but only got addicted to fanfic in May, 2007, following a nasty break-up (guy pulled an "Angel" on me, and left me for my own good).

Desperately needed a Spike in my life, so I finally decided to give -my- Buffy one (at least to start with; if my first story works I'll try to make as many Buffys happy as possible!!! :P)

01/11/2008 Hey, I got an lj account, http://ssddgr.livejournal.com/ (yup, Sotia is finally catching up with technology! LOL) Almost nothing there yet, but starting next weekend I plan on starting to post there too! Please friend at will! LOL

02/22/2008 See that 'almost finished my MBA' a couple of paragraphs up? Well, replace that with 'have just finished my MBA' (if that jerk doesn't fail me again!!) Woo Hoo!!!!!

03/17/2008 The moving icon was made from a manip made for my birthday by framedinlove on lj. Isn't it cool?



01/13/2010:I decided to de-Spuffify and self-publish the P-Series. That means that I will be taking it down from all sites, including LiveJournal. If you want a copy, just comment here with your e-mail address, and I'll send it to you. I'd never have finished that series if it weren't for you.



And if you really wanna buy a copy of the original version, Passionate, you can get one here (and feel free to spread the word). :D



05/28/11: An e-publisher has asked to read the original version of the Tooth Fairy (thank you Kim for pointing me their way!!!)

Whether they decide they want to publish it or not, I will be taking it down from archives and my LJ tomorrow. As with the P-Series, I'll gladly send Spuffy copies of it to anyone who asks for it. Feel free to save it before I take it down, if you want, but please refer people who ask for copies to me; I wouldn't like it to be passed around without my knowing about it.



Thank you,

Sotia

I read all of the story up to the previous chapter on elysian-fields when BR was down (yep, all at once), and I got hooked! I tried repeatedly to leave a review there, but the page just wouldn't load!!! I LOVE this story, and I'm so glad Tina told me to wait up cuz you'd be updating:P Now I'll surely have pleasant dreams!!! Great Chapter!

XXX

Author's Response: Hi, darling! *waves* I'm delighted you're enjoying the story and wow, all at once, I'm flattered. :D I still have to read yours, you come very highly reccommended by Tina, but I've had little time to read lately, hope to do it soon, though. Thanks so much for reading and for reviewing, hope you did have sweet dreams. ;) *hugs*

I've been thinking about this since last night, when Tina said you'd post, but I had to go to bed, today being my first day back at work and all!

I've been to the office for an hour already and I just got to read this (can you believe the nerve of some people, wanting to wish me a happy New Year, when all I could think about was "Have to read Art of Immortality update, NOW"?) I almost growled at someone who approached my desk after I started on this chapter... LOL!!!

It was well worth the wait, however! This story is amazing, it has gripped me from the start and I can't wait for the next chapter! I just hope Buffy doesn't freak out, and instead takes matters into her own hands and instigates a claim! Cuz I'm so going on a hunger strike if Spike lets her go/pushes her away! ('course a hunger strike would do wonders for my look, but still...!!!)

Hope 2008 begun magically for you, I know you helped my 2nd day of the year become much more interesting than I expected it to be!

Hugs!

Author's Response: You're just too sweet for words. Thanks for reviewing and for taking time off work to read the chapter. *lol* The part about growling to the person that approached your desk had me lmao. Too funny!

I think you won't be disappointed by how Buffy's going to react. *giggles over the hunger strike, zips her mouth and throws away the key* ;)

I wish you a wonderful New Year as well, darling! IThanks again... for everything. ;

OMG! This man is amazing! And so was this chapter! Great job honey, it only added to the anticipation! I do hope he does indeed intend to claim her... or that if he doesn't she takes matters on her own... teeth! Heee :P

Thank you for another wonderful update, can't wait to read the perfect night! And I'm sooo happy I signed in this morning before getting to do the assignment that has proven to be the bane of my existence!!!
Hugs and kisses

Thank you for lovely words, I have a huge smile in my face right now. And thanks as well for the icon gift, I truly adore it. *smooches*

OH MY GOD, you are the evilest of evil people... EVER!

I was sooo happy to get to work and see an update on AoI! Finally the perfect night, and then... and he... and you... OMG! I could kill you! (well, no I couldn't, cuz you're a sweetheart and I love talking to you, and I want you around, but still... that was a major risk you took, missy!)

You do know you have to make this up to us, right? LOL! I'm about to have people kidnap your muse and blackmail you for an update!

That said, despite the fact that I was actually growling at work, I loved the angst (hey, I'm sick, ask Tina!) and want more, please? *pouts and bats eyelashes*

*hugs you tight*

PS. You sooo could have let on just a little of that! Grrrr

Author's Response: Moi? Evil? I'm so not. It was my muse's fault, I'm nothing but her slave. *bats eyes innocently* Although knowing her, she'll take that as a compliment! *giggles and winks*

Awww, I love talking to you, too. *smooches* And you know I'll make it up to you, and pretty soon, too. No need to blackmail muse... yet. ;)

You want more angst? *giggles* Well, I'll have to see what I can do about that. *lmao* What? You already said I was evil anyway. *winks*

*smooches* Thankee, darling! You totally make my day with your passion for my little story.

PS. Nope, I couldn't, I told you it would've spoiled the surprise. *wide evil grin*

You are forgiven for all the angst and heartache you caused with the previous chapter; this was perfect!

Gog, I love Giles and Anne! They knew what the almost-lovers want and need better than they did! Bless them for being so insightful and taking it upon them to make things right!

*Hugs and squeezes you*

Thank you so much for this honey!!!

Author's Response: Awwww, thank you, darling. You're always so sweet to me. I'm so very happy you've forgiven me. *hugs*

Higher and higher he took her, and just when she thought there was no place left to go, nothing else to reach, he took her above and beyond an invisible barrier to a realm of ecstasy that stole her breath away… Could one die from too much pleasure?

*THUD*!!!

*pants and drags self up only to read this: He loved, desired and craved to possess her as his mate with every fiber of his being. ... and faint again!*

And the claiming? Oh, the claiming was beyond perfect!!!!!!!!!!!! *sighs*

This perfect night was more than worth the wait, honey! It was all I expected it to be and more! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

*hugs you tight*

PS. Is your dad home yet? Any news?

Author's Response: Your reviews never fail to bring a smile to my face, cariño! I'm so unbelievably happy to have friends such as you and I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to know you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you so very much for everything. *hugs*

Awwww, it's over? (well except for the one-shots to which I have to say a ton of YAYYYYYYs and SQUEEEEEEEEE's)

This was an incredible story, sweety, bringing forth so many emotions and a beautiful ride that I never wanted to end!

I loved this story every step of the way and I want to thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!

This was the perfect closure, and I'm more than delighted they both got the best of both worlds... the meanie in me is also more than delighted at Riley's fate, mwahahahaha!!!!

Can't wait for the epilogue and one-shots!

*hugs and squishes you and squee's in your ear*

PS. I really did nothing at all (other than get a sneak peek on the perfect night which was not altruistic, believe you me!!!)

Author's Response: Yes, it's over. *sighs* And now between you and Tina, I'm crying. So not good to have red nose and puffy eyes in the office. *sniffs*

And you did nothing at all? You made me the most lovely icon for my story and your encouragement and support from the moment we met, well, that's more than I can ever thank you enough for.

I'm ecstatic you found the ending appropriate, same as with Riley's fate. *giggles* And that you like the idea of the one-shots, especially since it was because of your suggestion that I began thinking about them. *smooches* See? More things to thank you for. ;)

*hugs and squishes you back and twirls you around the room*

PS. And again, you did, quite a bit. Thankee again, cariño!

Date: 12/01/2007 Title: Chapter 11: Hearts at peace

Ever since I read that someone had dared leave a negative review I've been looking for it. Not so successfully, it seems, cause I only now spotted it, and I'm more than pissed off with that person! (I must have only read the "Points loved" part of that review and skipped the rest:P)

Your writing is inspired, tangling an intricate web that -frankly- someone (like said reviewer) might be too simple-minded to follow. That said, I will stifle my need to name-call against them, and will only say that fanfic is NOT supposed to be made to order (except in the case of challenges), and NO-ONE should presume to tell you what to put in, or how to write YOUR OWN BLOODY STORY!!!

*Sighs with relief* I got THAT out of my system.

I love your writing, when I started reading Origins I didn't do much else -including sleep- till I'd caught up with everything in it. You've managed to create not only a story, but a universe, and I'm grateful to have been able to read it!

I hope you don't give up on this book, or writing fanfic in general!

I hope you get well soon and that you post asap, cuz I'm so worried about Riley being able to play on Buffy's insecurities that I could scream right now (which I so would if my parents weren't in the living room with me!)

I could feel my heart break a little at the possibility of you not writing in this fandom any more.

O realize you must do what's best for you but your exceptional writing and story-telling will be greatly missed!

Now to the story:
things have began to unfold rapidly and I can only hope that the good guys bare no losses. I cannot wait for more of this, but I will do so patiently, knowing the update will be more than worth it
