Bio:
I'm an avid fan of Joss Whedon's shows Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse. I am also a Buffyverse roleplayer on MySpace. I'm really enjoying myself here. This is a great site to read tons of Spuffy fics and I'm really liking writing some of my own. I've got a few I'm actively working on and a few that will be coming when I finish what I am working on.

I'm so grateful that people like Father of Mine. I began writing it after I was inspired by Cissi's 'Everlasting Love'. Right now I'm working on Part 1, but I have ideas to make this a long one and add Parts 2 & 3. :D It's really turned into something for me & I hope it really means something to my readers too.

I mostly think about writing AU fics. I only have the one canon that I'm doing (The Truth of the Matter Is & sequel So It Seems). I mostly read AU too. I like to read fics with some magic too.

Another tidbit about me... I'm from the states (US ;) and I'm only 21 at the moment. Thought I'd share that.

***Update 5/29/09 - Well, Part 1 of FOM is completed. I've started working on my plans for Part 2 and writing Chapter 1. I took down Heart on the Table to edit it and change some stuff. It will be put back up once I figure out where I want to take it. I'm stuck at the end of Chapter 4 right now. I'm also working on Chapter 4 of So It Seems, the sequel to The Truth of the Matter Is. Keep reading and reviewing Father of Mine. It just hit 109 reviews! And its nearing 3000 hits! Yay! Thanks so much to everyone who's read & reviewed it already! =)

***Update 7/13/09 - I want to thank everyone who's read & reviewed Father of Mine. I really appreciate all the feedback that I have gotten for it, and I am currently trying to work on the sequel. I've gotten some help from a beta (xoChantelly). Thanks hun! But right now I'm taking a break from writing because my Microsoft Office Trial expired, so I can't write everything up on my computer. I know it might be lazy of me, but I hope to be back at it soon. :) Thanks again to all my readers! I'm also working on a one shot based on the song Good Directions and Heart on the Table, my Grey's Anatomy-esque fic as well as So It Seems, the sequel to my first fic, The Truth of the Matter Is. I hope to be back to work on all of them very soon.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, that was another emotional one. I'm still enjoying it though. I'm looking forward to it getting even better and seeing Buffy start to really heal from this.

Aww. The ending might have been corny, but it was sweet & I loved it. Sometimes that's the best way to go out. lol. But I really loved this story. They definitely deserved their happy ending. :)

Summary: Summary: Buffy Summers and Spike Pratt have been best friends since they were stealing each other’s juice boxes in preschool. They’ve been there for each other’s ups and downs. When Buffy’s parents, who have always been her model couple, tell her they’re getting a divorce, she runs to the one source of comfort she’s got left. He sat on the edge of the bed, hands gripping the sides of his head as the dull ache pounded there like the battery of a marching band. His stomach felt horrid, his body ached, but nothing compared to the feeling deep inside that told him he’d done something so incredibly stupid that things were never going to be the same again.

Oh, don't quite now. I love this story. I still think its headed in a good direction. I have a nagging feeling there's a little more angst around the corner though, especially with Buffy's mood swings.

Author's Response: Thanks! More angst, yes, but not for long!

I'm really loving this story. And it's so nice to see that Hank is paying for Spike to go to school. And Dawn is really cute. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Summary: Buffy's father was murdered when she was 9, and ever since she's been hiding from her ugly past. Her mother remarries when she's 16 and she's forced to face it, with a little help from her new step-brother, who's going through a painful situation of his own.

Yay! I'm glad Giles is back. I can't wait to see how things progress with Spike & Buffy. Spike obviously wants Buffy to get her memories back so he can know how the real Buffy feels about him. Maybe that will be the trigger for Buffy, wanting to know how she really feels about Spike too. Hmmm... well, can't wait to read more. And let me know if you need a beta for any of your stories.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked. You are a little bit right in your theory there, but not quite! I will most likely get you to beta my next chapter for this, then send it to Keira Thornton for another look over. Thank you for offering again! And, Thanks for reviewing! *hugs*

Summary: AU/All Human. William is married to Buffy's horrible cousin, Cecily. Buffy has feelings for him, and she's had enough of biding her time waiting for him to finally wise up and get a divorce. A more direct approach would be necessary.

I looooved this chapter. It was emotional there for a minute, but it got better. I'm so glad that they want to be together, and I hope it works out for them, but I have a feeling there's more drama in store for them with Cecily. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you, Duchess Michelle! I'm happy that you enjoyed :D Mmhmm things weren't lookin too good for them at first. But they worked things out without too many tears having to fall :)

It won't be a smooth road ahead. There's still is the matter of informing Cecily about the big changes a' comin'... Which I will cover in the next chapter lol

Thanks for reading & reviewing, hon! *smooches*
