i like the story. as far as I know of its a original storyline, so bravo! creativity is sometimes dificult to find with buffy fanfics.
Author's Response: You've made me blush, Savannah! There is another story being posted at the moment that has a similar theme which you might like to check out. Belonging by jl1980 - she's very good. Hope you continue to enjoy. More tomorrow.

Really good start. Can't wait to read more. There's another story kinda like this out there right now but both your story and the other one started out much different. I'm interested to see the angle your gonna take with this. Thanks for writing.
Author's Response: Thank you for your kind words, Stacy! I believe the other story you are refering to is Belonging by jl1980. She writes excellent fic (I read her fic myself) and I think I am safe in assuring you that we are taking different approaches to the topic.
I would also like to take this opportunity to mention that I am not responding to a challenge. I developed this story my first one (also featuring the Initiative and a chipped Spike - but in a totally different context) became bogged down in detail. I have a set of four Initiative/Spike-centric stories on the go but decided to start posting with Buyer - which my betas have been encouraging me to do since last November.
I hope you continue to read and enjoy and please continue with the feedback. More next week.

I'd say you're off to a brilliant start and thanks for availing yourself of two capable Betas. There's nothing that exasperates me faster than an interesting story sloppily written. That is so not the case here and I am looking forward to reading more.
Author's Response: Why, thank you so much! You are so right about the value of betas. I have passed your comment on to them and they're well chuffed! If you notice any errors they are totally mine! Hope you continue to read and review - more next week.

Mmmm good start. It's all different here... will get interesting I think. Loved the line about Buffy training Giles. ;-) Looking forward to the next part!
Author's Response: Thank you, Cordy! Glad you liked and hope you will enjoy further chappies.

Make you cry? Why on earth would we do that? Your fic is fantastic! This is a very original idea and I like the concept a lot. Spike as a slave... hmm... *licks lips* *LOL* Keep them coming, sweetie! Update soon.
Author's Response: Thank you, luxferi! I have a suspicion that you wouldn't mind taking care of him in Buffy's place! Minx! Look for more next week -maybe sooner on my LJ.

Date: 01/10/2006 - 10:36 am Title: 1
This is a very interesting idea. Looks like it's going to be a good fic!
Author's Response: Thank you, Noelle. I'm hoping it'll be good - only time will tell . *gulps*

Wow..This doesn't seem like someone's first fic. So far it's really good. Also a great idea : D
Can't wait to see what Spike is like after all these years of being chipped and with the initiative. Will he hate Buffy for picking him?
I'll be watching for any updates!
Author's Response: Thank you, DaniD, for your kind words!
Expect their different experiences to have produced a few changes in both Buffy and Spike. Hate Buffy? Wait and see - gotta tempt you back somehow!
