Spike/anya isn't excatly my favorite pairing, but if it's part of the plot it is okay. There might be a little ewww factor of having to read the smut between them, althought it gives a good picture to reader that it is just sex between them, not something... uh... gentle. I'd say keep it there. Your doing great job.

Yes.Please continue.Can't wait to find out a little more background info on the gang.Sure hope Faith's not a bitch in this fic.Your doing a great job so far.Although the Anya and Spike scene just made my skin crawl(and not in a good way).

Hell YEA keep going! This sounds like a great story in the making! I'm assuming there's going to be a lot of tension between Buffy and Spike, hmm? Don't know if you have anything planned out, but some suggestions: 1) (This one, I'm sure you've thought of already, but on the offchance you haven't) Buffy has the 2-bedroom appartment above her bar and Spike is 'currently' looking for a place outside of his mom and stepdad's. Spike could move in with her, causing an increase in sexual tention and relations. 2) Go into more detail. You say Buffy went to LA to look at the stereo system. Did anything happen to her while she was there (Angel/other possible guys for her to get with) By expanding on the details in the story, you'll get more dynamic (and fun) subplots. 3) Don't forget to work on the other characters, too! So many authors focus so much on the Buffy/Spike realtionship, they forget about Willow, Giles, Xander, Joyce, Anya, etc., and the story in turn loses out on it. I really hope you continue on this story. Have a great time with it!

what im wondering is where buffy would get all the money to buy the space, renovate it, stock it, hire staff etc...? also, just a helpful hint... try to 'loosen up' your dialogue- some of it reads very stiff and unnatural... ie: instead of 'but it is', try 'but it's'... you know- abbreviate and stuff :)

Author's Response: Thanks for telling me to abbreviate. I am used to writing essays and not stories. Plus I already thought about where she got the money I just didn't want to give away a lot of info in the beginning.

Gotta love Anya and her bluntness lol. I'm intrigued, especiallyfor when Spike and Buffy meet! I can't wait to read more! Please do continue :)

yes keep going. Its a good idea for a story.

love the name...great start...hope you plan to include plenty of angst and have spike have a girlfirend either harmony or anya and not fall immediately for her.

Yeah, I definetly think you should keep going. I noticed that you left the drinks blank, it might be good for start to think about the names if there is much bartending. It makes it seem more realistic. But anyway... I really liked the start and hope you'll be continueing this.

Cool. Sounds good.
