Alright, so here's the whole smorgasbord on what I think about this story (I promise it is all good).

Found this series about a week ago, and I have been devouring it ever since. It is utterly amazing and fantastic. I adore the character development that has taken place, how you've built relationships and fixed every irritation that I felt about what happened that season.

I love the Tara/Oz dynamic (I'd never have thought of it and it's completely charming), and Dawn's little quips are spot on. I've dissolved into giggles so many times that I've lost count.

You've made me shake my fist at the stupidity of Willow and Xander, while also offering them some humanity and chance at redemption, even if I'mnot very happy with them right now.

Onto this segment!

I never liked Riley. Ever. And he's coming off so shallow and self centered that he makes an excellent foil to Spike. Furthermore, the Council is coming?!?!?! Egads. It makes me squirm just to think of it. Although I'm glad that the 'new' slayer is being introduced. I look forward to what you do with her character. I wasn't originally sure if I liked reading about Giles and Anya getting jiggy with it, but I do think they're cute together, and I think I'm working past my horror of Giles and sex. It's odd, but when I watched the show I also dumped him in the grandfather category, although I think that had more to do with him sounding and acting exactly like Gramps. Regardless, I am glad to say that I have worked past my sexless!Giles issues. Because really, those two are just too cute.

My only criticism is your repetitive use of the phrase 'considerable attention'. It's a good way to express that the person paying attention is paying complete and utter attention to whatever, but I think other word groupings could be mixed up with it.

Otherwise, I look forward to updates with an enormous amount of glee!
