Still liking the story very much, can't wait to read what Buffy is trying to prove to Spike by bringing Sam over. :D Hope you're already feeling better.

Author's Response: Do you know how awesome you are for reviewing all of my chapters? Thank you. And as to feeling better, I'm getting there. The reviews are definitely helping, though.

definitely loving it so far

Author's Response: Thank you. :D

Great start! I'm curious to see how it all pans out. I like this forceful, direct Buffy. More please!

Author's Response: Yeah, forceful Buffy's fun. but she's not always that way, I hope I can portray that well. Thank you so much for reviewing

I think that this is going to be a very good story. I don't think I've read anything like this before which is refreshing. I look forward to more. Great job and update often.

Author's Response: hope you continue to like it and I'll update as often as i can--right now i'm working on every monday

I;m gonna be downright honest cuz I really dig this story and would love to see where it goes. First off, I highly recommened you get a beta. I saw a lot of spelling errors that made it hard to read and I still don't understand the use of the parenthesis was for. Second I'm gonna say the dialogue was good but I would like to see a balance in dialogue and description. It's hard to do but I think you'll know what to put in and what to leave out. As for the story summary, I think it could be better becuase there's a way of giving the premise without giving away the whole story. Last the storyline. this is actually, the first time I've seen one like this so I'm really anxious to see where this goes. The summary had me interested and the first chapter has me hooked so the storyline is refreshingly original. Also I really like the potrayal of the characters but I wasn't sure if this was dealing with Spike or William. I'm know they're the same person but in all honesty they are two different personalities. All in all, it's a great start and definitely worth continuing. I do look forward to more and keep writing.

Author's Response: As to waht you said: I do know that I need a beta, but I'm always very, very unsure of my work so I posted this before I lost the nerve. And I really don't think the summary gave the story away because there's still a lot more to it than them wanting him to teach her. And thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing out the parentheses, I pasted the wrong version in here and I'm working on fixing that now. And I hope that later chapters will make the whole Spike/William thing clear. And thank you so much for you review.
