Okay Lu, you asked for reviews, didn't matter if they were raves or not, just 'tell me what you think'. Here's my opinion. It doesn't work for me. The language is stilted and grammatically incorrect, and neither Buffy nor Spike sound like Buffy or Spike when they speak or when they are thinkiing. I also think the premise that Spike gets this girl and then after she's older sleeps with her a little ooky. So I'm not continuing to read the story. I think the idea is original and you are trying very hard, and I appreciate that, but that is not enough to overcome these problems for me as a reader. I'm sorry, but you wanted to know what folks thought, and I'm telling you what I truly think. I wish you all the best.

Author's Response: thank you, that's what I asked for, opinions, and you gave me yours! Well, most of the people ( esp. the italian ones) found all my characters very believable. . but if you don't, I don't mind and it's ok for me if you don't want to read it anymore ( and it's not the first time I receive a negative review from you) , I just thank you for telling me what you think, I wish you the best, too!

I really like it so far! Buffy's right that only Spike can tell such great stories- it has to be the poet in him:) You're not updating this until September?! You evil girl! LOL But I'll wait patiently for an update, hoping you change your mind...

Author's Response: thank you so much for your review, I'm glad you like even this one.. well.. maybe I'll change my mind. and if I manage I'll post some chapters during the summers, too, ok?
