The last two chapters were amazing! Buffy's dad... I dont like him, he is way to 'My Way Now or Else' it seems, but I was happy that Spike was there to help her out! Oh and the make out scene in the elevator and in Spike's room... hot!!! Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: Thanks so much! Hank isn't very nice, is he?
I'm glad you enjoy the kissage between the pair, it was about time huh?

Thanks for the new update! And I'm glad you're staying here, too. As long as you can manage... ~ To the story: Loved Spike being so protected when Hank tried to overwhelm/persuade Buffy. Good that they all (including Buffy) had fun. (And yeah, Beth is right. ;-) ) When they were kissing? I thought it was too good to be true. I'm sorry that I'm right: Buffy run away. She should hear what her heart is telling her...
Author's Response: If it gets too much then chapters wont go up as frequently, but I'll still be here.
I'm glad you enjoyed the kissage. *grins* More up soon.

Gee Buffy, you kissed Spike, that's what you did! Silly girl!
I have a feeling alot more then swimming is going to be going on in LA between Spike and Buffy.
I really like this story!
spuf
Author's Response: LOL. Yes she did!

You might be on to something there. *winks* More up soon.

Not sure what the A/N was all about, but glad you're going to say at TSR. Not that i would hunt you down and stalk you if you posted elsewhere; I'm scary like that! (note, my coffee hasn't quite kicked in and I'm not responsible for anything I might write until it does)
Cute update. I'm really enjoying this story in spite of myself! You captured Buffy's dread of seeing her dad with the other woman very well; nicely done!
And the descriptions of the swim meet were a hoot. I spent high school in a very small town a *long* way from anywhere else, and we always had to stay in hotels or dorms when we went to meets (tennis or debate in my case) and the whole atmosphere just rings true. Especialy the helpless giggling and the boys being really silly! Anyway nicely done, and looking forward to more!
Author's Response: LOL, fair enough. The A/N was about me possibly not posting at TSR anymore but things have changed and I'm here for good now.
I'm glad you liked the update! I was a swimmer so the water aspect of this fic is really easy for me to write about.
I am glad to hear you think the atmosphere is realistic, it's a relief. I was a little worried it might be *too* silly, you know?

Evil woman, you have sucked me into an All Human AU!
I'm impressed that the various players are so much in character!. Well done! And enjoying the awkwardrelationship bewteen our heroes. Very cute!
Author's Response: Did I? Really? *blinks innocently*
BR>
I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Wow... I didn't expect an update so soon, but thank you! Yay, two chapters so close together. ;) Can I say just how much I love this chapter? Fantastic update and can't wait to hear from you again. ;)
Author's Response: No problem! LOL.
You can say how much you love this chapter, I'd love to hear. *big grin* More will be up soon.

Date: 03/15/2006 - 08:36 am Title: Decisions.
That was a hot chapter! Guess Buffy is feeling guilty because of Riley...He's just always getting in the way....lol BTW..Buffy's Dad is a wanker! Glad Spike was able to extract her from that situation.
About the TSR/BSC thing..
For me it didn't matter where you posted...but I think you are a sweet person to be so sensitive to people's feelings..Cheers to you!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Things are definitely heating up for the pair, that's for sure.
Buffy's dad is a wanker... can't say much else otherwise I'll spoil plot!
Thank you for your kind words sweetie, I appreciate your support. *hugs*

Date: 03/15/2006 - 06:06 am Title: Decisions.
Great job again, looking forward to the next chapter where ever I have to go to find it and thanks
Author's Response: You'll be able to find it here in about four days time. Thanks for the review Debbie.

Date: 03/15/2006 - 05:32 am Title: Strained.
I understand why Buffy doesn't want to hurt Riley... yet she shouldn't have start anything again with him. Seems to me she didn't trust Spike enough; what a shame. She should have confronted Spike instead. Getting the boyfriend thing going isn't fair to Riley either. They are both (Buffy and Spike) so stubborn. ~ If I understand the comments here right you won't be updating your fics here. I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if I'll be able to keep track of this story then. I hope I will. I added it to favorites and we'll see if I get an update information. Hint: Something is wrong with the tags at BSC. Check it out, it didn't work. And I don't know if I'll see new fics of yours then. I'll be sorry if I miss it. *sigh*
Author's Response: No, I am STILL going to be updating here. There was a time and RL issue but I've found a way to work around it. I'm not going anywhere!
I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

*sigh* I feel like Willow at this point - frustrated with the two of them, but I know they have to work it out themselves. Looking forward to more! ;)
Author's Response: LOL. A lot of people are frustrated with them I think. Thanks for the review.

Date: 03/15/2006 - 12:42 am Title: Strained.
more please
Author's Response: More will be up soon.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 11:15 pm Title: Strained.
i really love your story. i've tried going to BSCentral before, but whenever i click on a story, it brings an error report to my computer and that kind of sucks. i have no clue what's wrong...
Author's Response: I emailed you sweetie via the Contact Author function. I'm sticking around so you'll still be able to read me.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 10:55 pm Title: Strained.
Hey...That will be great to see you more at BSC..I have been seeing Making Waves already.. I am a registered member there, so yeah I definately will get the email updates : )
In no way do I think you are coming across as anti TSR...This is a FANTASTIC site no doubt about it....What happened over at BSC was such a shame..losing all that wonderful archived material. It made me so upset ! I think it's great you are trying to help build up the archive there...they need it right now.
BTW..This was another great chapter..I still feel like smacking Buffy..lol... At least she and Spike are on speaking terms now. Yay.. Looking forward to your next update!
Author's Response: Thanks for your support Dani, it means a lot.
BUT... things have changed now and I'm going to continue posting here. How could I not with great people like you cheering me on? *hugs*

Date: 03/14/2006 - 09:17 pm Title: Strained.
How long will it take till the story is fully updated to chap. 12 at BSC. I really like fic so I hope soon. ~Izzy
Author's Response: Within the week, the next few days are going to be crazy. Thank you for reviewing!

Date: 03/14/2006 - 09:10 pm Title: Strained.
I have already bookmarked BSC, so I will be following you. I can see that things are going to heat up for our duo, and I look forward to it.j Great job and thanks
Author's Response: Well thank you, I'm happy to hear you'll continue to read my fics. Things are DEFINITLE going to heat up for Buffy and Spike. More will be up soon.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:46 pm Title: Strained.
Very surprised to find that I'm liking the sheer frustration of this. Excellent work, Amy.
Author's Response: LOL, well I'm glad you're enjoying it. More will be up soon.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:45 pm Title: Strained.
Great chapter! Looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:17 pm Title: Strained.
God, I hate life right now.
IT's so fu**ed up!
Sorry; it's just that my own RL is a mess and when I read this angst stuff it just reminds me of certain things.
Sigh.
I really really like this fic and I hope you update often.
spuf
Author's Response: Oh, sweetie I'm sorry life isn't good for you right now! *hugs*
Another update will be up soon.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:17 pm Title: Strained.
I think it's really inappropriate to be vying so obviously and this much for a competitor site. Not to mention ungrateful to the site that's been here for you and your readers.
It's unfortunate, as i do like your writing. Oh well.
Author's Response: I don't think of it as a competitor site - it's all the one fandom! Yes I do hold loyalty to BSC but that's because without that site I -
1) never would have discovered fanfic, and
2) would never have begun writing.
I know it may seem like I'm favouring the other archive but it's not about that. BSC won't get back on it's feet without more authors and readers while TSR is very well established now.
TSR has been great but archiving at four different places PLUS my own website is very time consuming. I am in no way abandonning TSR because my fics will remain here and I WILL still be reading and reviewing on this site - just not putting up anything new.

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:11 pm Title: Strained.
more really soon please!!!
Author's Response: More coming soon!

Date: 03/14/2006 - 08:06 pm Title: Strained.
yay-awesome chapter--looks like it's gonna be a rough ride...
Author's Response: Thanks sweetie!

Wow. This is a great fic. I just started reading this story. It has a good plot. I can't wait to see what happens next. I'll be waiting for the next update.
Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it. The plot will REALLY kick in more over the next five or so chapters, so keep an eye out. More will be up soon.
