Bio:


I'm just a little bit evil . . . that's what makes life fun! And, like all wonderfully evil things, I never age!

**

My whole reason for watching Buffy in the first place was for David Boreanaz. I love Bones and even Spike fans must admit that DB is a total cutie on that show. At the same time I was falling in love with Bones, I was also loving the show Leverage, most notably this guy named Christian Kane - you may have heard of him (can I just say, Gah! Oh, baby!).

I actually watched the entire DVD set of Angel before I ever watched a single episode of BtVS - because, duh - DB and CK? PLEEASE! (I have to say that I liked Angel more on Angel, the Series than on BtVS - he developed a better sense of humor in L.A.! - ok, don't hate me for it!)

When I finished watching Angel, then I bought the BtVS DVD set and watched it.

When I first started watching, I couldn't figure out why everyone was so ga-ga about Spike. I mean, yeah, totally hot and too funny, but evil, right? I know he ended up GOOD from watching Angel, but how he got there was a mystery.

Then it happened - Joss redeemed Spike, Spike fell in love with Buffy, he went to the end of the world for her and she treated him like crap (bad Buffy writers!). Then, of course, I got it. I am now in the Spike corner, on his bandwagon and leading the parade.

Like most people, I turned to Fanfic to "fix" what Joss and the other evil writers on BtVS did to Spike. I've read quite a lot and then decided to give writing a go. My first story is "Unexpected" and I *TRY* to "fix" Buffy and Spike's life. Not everything is Puppies and Blood, but hopefully, it all works out in the end {{grin}}.

"I guess the less evil you are the more housework you get stuck doing."

Oh man! Now I know what I've been doing wrong! Thank you for that revelation! LOL!

I get that Spike's been helping more than he had in canon, but Angel helped a ton and Xander never liked him, even before Angelus showed up ... It's all good, although snarky Spike/Xander convos can be fun... and, like I said, I do agree that there could've been a nice bro-mance with those two if Xander had ever just chilled on the subject of the undead.

Andrew, huh? This should be interesting!

Author's Response: I found that thing about housework is totally true. Did I mention how much it means to me that you\'ve been leaving these reviews? Well it means a lot. Thank you. I always thought Angel was kind of nasty to Xander; he was jealous of him and a bit dismissive. I\'m rewatching the series right now and it\'s like, \"Wow, Angel was kind of a jerk. Giles is amazing in his restraint concerning Angel.\"

Love the Amy Yip reference! Also loved this line, very Xander:
"The guy is a chocolate eclair and a hand job away from absolute evil."

Not sure Xander would've 'taken up with' Spike quite so quickly, even for video games and a TV, tho... I guess that was in the last chapter, but anyway... I do think that Xander and Spike could've been good friends, if Xander could've gotten over his hate of the undead, just not sure he would've come around quite that fast, esp. with Buffy crushing on Spike.

Author's Response: Glad you liked the Amy Yip reference and the chocolate eclair joke is probably my favorite thing I ever wrote. In this story, I eluded to the notion that Spike was cooperating with them long before season four. He helps Buffy save the babies from the mayor during \"Band Candy,\" and he is the one who brings Anyanka to the group to talk about the Ascension because in this version of events, \"The Wish,\" never happens. These were off screen tweaks to imply Spike was much less antagonistic to the group prior to him coming over. Plus, Buffy is relying on the group to keep herself from falling for Spike. That is more explicitly stated later. Thanks for the comment.

Oh, yes, I 'm sure Spike is well familiar with Miss Cleo! lol! Wow - neat take on the claim/bite - love the premise and how that makes Spike and Buffy linked...

Hmmmm ... interesting, Buffy taking pity on Spike. Of course, we know they both had a connection from the beginning, Buffy just too ... *whatever* to allow herself to admit it. Otherwise, why hadn't she killed him before? Had plenty of chances and vice versa... Can't wait to see how this goes...

Author's Response: The connection is explained in th next chapter.

Hmmm ... interesting ... Dru testing Spike and risking her life doesn't say much about her seer powers ... Interesting that Buffy let Spike get into her system - wonder how far under her skin she'll let him wiggle...

Author's Response: Actually, she wasn\'t that great a seer on the show, either. Buffy always won.

Hopefully all that info Spike deduced will come in handy when they get a chance to escape again. Not happy with Xander breaking up with Dav ... that was sad, although I see he thinks he's protecting her. Sort of a very Angel thing to do - leave her for her own good. Hope someone points that out to the doof. And, oh yes, Angel - ever the stalker, from before Buffy was even called. Hope Willow or Andrew can figure out where they are ... of course, they'll think she's at campus, not under it ... hmmm...

Author's Response: I know it sounds terrible, but I\'m glad you could feel for Dav, even though it made you sad.

Oh, just as I feared, Willow did something to Xander's little squishy pink brain. I've been waiting for Spike to look in a mirror ... heehee! He'll probably want to install one above his bed now. Sounds like Willow is going down that very bad road of too much magic, wonder how Giles will deal ... and how she'll deal with being dealt with.

Author's Response: Thanks for the comment! The mirror above the bed sounds fun.

“I recall some Tupperware in the kitchen, sweetheart. All you'd need to do is burp the lid and he's fresh for another couple centuries.”

That is PERFECT SPIKE! Actually, you've got Spike down pat all the way through the story, but that one made me laugh! I'm happy he at least hasn't lost his snark! Yay for snarky, sexy Spike! I still wonder if he might still have his strength, he really hasn't been tested in a fight, so I'm still hoping for that. I like your explaination for his lack of a 'woe-is-me' case of the broodies or crazies. I actually agree that the crazy isn't really needed just because he got a soul. (I had my Spike simply blame Angel for his past mis-deeds and lay all the guilt firmly on ole broody-pants. Dru might've turned him, but it was Angel that turned him into a monster).

Willow/Xander engaged!? Really!? Again I hope that Willow didn't plant a seed in Xander's brain! That annoucement should clear the way for Dav and Giles.

I did realize that the love scene in the last chapter was meant to feel 'wrong' ... you did it well! I'm also glad to hear that was the lowest Giles will fall, I was getting a bit worried about the old chap.

Author's Response: That is the biggest compliment you could give me about the Spike voice. I can hear him saying it in my head when I write. Glad you can, too.

Eeek! Willow!! Bad! I hope she's only looking around and not, you know ... mucking about in there! I loved the banter early in the chapter with Spike - the pissing line just had me rolling - and how true it that?! heehee! So, who killed Maggie and are they coming after Buffy and where is Faith, anyway? Great chapter ... right up to the eeeek-Willow part at the end!

Author's Response: Thanks. Glad I achieved big eeek! with the Willow part.

A very messy situation and this sex scene seemed very un-Rupert-like. I'm wondering if you're leading to something worse for him to do than killing Angel and falling in love with Xander's Ex and *almost* forcing himself on her ... she didn't say no, but barely said yes. It just felt wrong. Interesting to see where this goes.

Author's Response: It was kinda supposed to feel wrong. Hope you like the story.

Author's Response: But also, even though it was kind of wrong and sad, this is probably the low point for Giles\' character. It\'s his weakest moment. I was hoping the takeaway from it would be that he wanted to control the situation. He\'s completely vulnerable emotionally, while she\'s vulnerable physically.

Love them giving each other comfort through the partition and Spike sharing one of the most hurftul times of his life with her. I like the new story of Cecily and Spike's compassion for the woman that scorned him, draining her in an effort to stop her suffering. Loved Buffy reading something randy into his expanding heart than what poor William had intended ... heehee! And Buffy's poem was quite good on the spur of the moment like that - me thinks she might've been composing it for her Poetry 101 class or something before this... :)

Author's Response: Glad you liked the new Cecily story. It was something I had in my head from when I first saw the series. The randy expanding heart was a joke the original writer put in.

My Elizabeth by Puddinhead Rated: NC-17 Liked [Reviews - 298]
Summary: A 2011 Buffy back in 1880 along with William Pratt. After an ocean voyage and a stop in New York City, our couple sets off across the American West.

There are showdowns, riots, murder and olde tyme bathing suits. The story is also chock full of history and you'll learn all the 'hip slang' from these wacky Victorians in no time. It also features a few real historical figures, but no spoilers. I'll only say that it is NOT Genghis Khan and Amelia Earhart. Put that thought right out of your mind.

Though this is a sequel to "Yours, William," it also works as a stand alone. I had to take down "Yours" as I'm rewriting as an original. You can email me about this if you want info.
Won Round 25 of the Sunny-D Awards for Best Alternative Universe. Won Round 26 for Best Drama, Best Original Character, Best Original Character Pairing, Best Unfinished. Thanks!

LOL'd at the Mrs. Fingerbottom bit! Very funny and loved William telling her she had a horrible English accent! Of course, the first dream scene with Spike was hot, if cut too short ... :( It was very sweet of William to have the necklace made for her, I'm glad she appreciated it and the light bulb of love finally blinked on. Now we can hope she lets the words come out of her mouth! I do have to wonder, however, with that dream of Spike, if she's getting her memory back; if Warren's spell is wearing off? You'd think she'd be a little freaked by such a dream of Spike given what she remembers of him - but I guess she dismissed it as a horny-drunken side-effect (?). Thanks for the quick update!

Author's Response: Thanks for the help btw, againl I think the next update will be a while. I do think she considered the dream as possibly a memory but since the idea of it being just a dream like every other dream made her feel better, she\'s going to go with that one! Queen of Denial!

Killing George was brave and definately brought tears to my eyes. Bravo! Not only do I feel for George, but also for the guilt that Buffy and also William will carry over his untimely demise. I often have fights with my muse - he has a bloodlust (and a sadistic streak) that won't end and I must rein him in at times, but this was a wonderful chapter full of angst! I love angst!

Author's Response: Thanks P4S. Someone on the EF chatbox said I wrote \"fluff\" the other day. I was like... \"huh?\" But I guess one woman\'s fluff is another woman\'s chipotle. Hopefully with this chapter behind the story will take the turn I\'ve been longing for

Not to belabor something that should probably just be dropped, but beta readers are special people. They take time out of their day to read someone else's story - to try and find and correct errors, and offer suggestions to improve the story line. They do not get paid. They are not professional proof-readers and they are not proof-reading Macbeth ... This is FANFIC people ... deal with it. The point is to have fun, to get lost in the story and not worry about if the word should be lay, lie, or laid or if there should be a comma or a semi-colon in that particular spot. I think having any *police* of any kind involved is just wrong in this context. I would, however, love to read some stories of yours, Grammar Police ... please post a link to them. I'm sure we'd all be interested in checking them out and getting lost in the fun...

First of all, of course YAY! for Buffy finally being able to silence William and say what she wanted to. And yay for how she silenced him! heehee! Billy the Kid, huh? Soooo, does that mean Dru won't be after 'her' William now? I doubt that's what it means, but ... not sure. You probably went over this before (I'm sure you did, actually, but I have a mind like a steel .... sieve), but how are we avoiding the whole if William isn't turned by Dru then Spike never exists so Buffy would've never known him and he would've never died closing the Hellmouth scenario? I guess the PTB are mojoing that, but it's got me wondering since that bit of info has apparently slipped through the holes in my brain. Loved the update! Hope RL eases up!

Author's Response: Hey, finally back in town. Thanks for the review. In the 23rd chapter of Yours, William they discuss time travel and it boils down to \"they don\'t know.\" IF William is never turned (and he still may be) then Jonathan suggested an alternate dimension as a possibility.

Sounds like Dru's gonna be a problem for a while, probably even worse if not being manipulated by Warren ... she's perfectly capable of being a monster all on her own. Hope you keep updating here - I rarely check EF and have never been able to figure out LJ ... at all.

Well, glad they got Dru locked up and William safe. Now, all Buffy had to do was undress and get into bed and wrap herself around William and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he WOULD NOT, COULD NOT leave that bed for the rest of the entire voyage ... simple. If for no other reason than his stiffy wouldn't allow him to walk properly ...

I do have one more question - is there some trick to entering those stupid confirmation codes to leave a review? I'm starting to understand why people skip this part - they are a pain in the a@@ and NEVER, EVER, NOT ONCE work right the first time, EVER ... regardless of the fact that I enter them right. ... {{sigh}}

I know - not our issue, but just wondering if anyone has figured out a trick to getting them to work the first time.

Author's Response: I think that\'s one of the reasons why people don\'t leave reviews on here. It\'s also one of the reasons why many authors don\'t like to post on TSR. Well, that and its more difficult to upload chapters. Sorry, I know of no tricks to get comments to work on here.
