loved the story! could't get enough of it! i think im going to read it again!

I love it! It's the best story that I've read for a really long time, and I've already put it on my favourites, so that I can check everyday for updates! You're really talented at writing, and I just wish that I could write like you. =) Have a nice day!

Author's Response: Aww, thank you =D If it's any consolation I've got almost 2 years on you (HAHA I'm older than somebody here!!!! oh, sorry...tee hee) and I've been writing since I was like 10--if you write enough you just kind of get better along the way. And I absolutely love your stories, your plots are brilliant and your writing's better than many older authors' ! So thanks again for the lovely praise, it's great to know you're enjoying it!!!!

Ew! Gross! God, why are you always so...” “Sexy?” Spike offered, still grinning. “Hot? Incredibly sexy and hot?” “Annoying,” Buffy finished, scowling at him. That sounds very familiar. Where did u refrenced this from?

Author's Response: well I thought it came out of my head...if it didn't I'll delete it--I have noticed several other fics with lines like that in it--can you find a specific one? cuz if my unconsious is making me plagarize, or even near-plagarize, I'll make it stop *worried look*

Author's Response: okay...I don't know where I heard/read that, but it was somewhere--so I'm taking it off, cuz I don't remember if it was from the show or not. I replaced it with some other innuendo-ey stuff. thanks for pointing that out!

No you can put me in as dear Aunt Kim, as I come and beat the crap out of my brother for being a moron....and take Buffy home with me....and no I won't hurt her.....Spuffy all the way in this one. Now Dawn, you'd have to pay me lots and lots of money just to have her visit my house.........LOL

Author's Response: Aunt Kim...gotcha =D

Excellent story. I'm enjoying it very much, please update soon! :-)

Author's Response: just updates, thanks so much for reviewing!

Sounds great so far. Glad to know Buffy isn't going to be a perpetual dumb blonde. Love the tension as well.

Author's Response: oh god...I don't think I could stand writing a dumb blonde for the whole fic =) glad you like it so far!

In your author's note you said that this is more of an L.A. pre-slayer Buffy and that she's also Harmony-like...the problem is that for all we know, the obnoxious valley girl in this chapter could be anyone! And yes, you say there will be a change in her, but the characters in fanfics should retain some of their trademark characteristics and Buffy acting like an air-headed bimbo isn't one of hers.

Author's Response: "Call me! Call me! Call me!" (Becoming pt 1) From what I've been able to gather, in LA, Buffy was just a bit of a bimbo. I mean, she did do the whole May Queen thing and all that, not to mention basically running away to Sunnydale. The few flashbacks we were given in the series show us a very different Buffy from the one who lived in Sunnydale. I get what you're saying about fanfics staying true to the characters. In fact, I generally agree with you. Fanfics where the characters are completely different from how they were in the show generally bug me. But I'm taking LA Buffy, or my interpretation of LA Buffy, and turning her into the Buffy we all know and love. In my opinion that's OK. If I kept the character constantly true to the Sunnydale Buffy, then unless I completely imitated Joss Whedon's story arcs, I could never have any character development--and for me, character development is a must. I'm sorry if you didn't like Buffy in this chapter, to be honest she seriously bugs me, too--which is why she's going to change, VERY SOON. Please keep reading if you even remotely like the story. I promise things are going to change. Buffy will become who she was in the show--that's part of the story. It just may take a few chapters. If you keep reading, thanks for your patience and please review again to tell me how I'm doing. If not, sorry, I guess this fic wasn't for you.

well you did manage to make me hate her lol, she really is a pain in the ass so far. But its obvious to anyone that there is a reason and that she'll change, grow up. I enjoyed this chap and cant wait till i read the next. Great job!

Author's Response: thanks! this next chap kinda shows you what Buffy's life is like at home...it'll be posted within the hour, if my lazy ass'll finish writing it... =)
