You're welcome! I enjoyed the read very much.
And to clear things up:
The small text was Pari's "fault", had nothing to do with you. Pari changed (the coding of) the site and the skin I was using had only tiny font. That has changed now, the Skin 'breathing' has one bigger font now then the other skins; that's really a relieve.

Author's Response: I'm glad so many oops things are getting fixed. Glad it wasn't my fault (but I never rule that out LOL). Kathleen

I loved it so much I read it twice! This Story rocks more and more each time! You did a great job at showing the many faces of Spike. As well, as the reactions of the Scoobys. Wonderful read! Definitely on my list of favorites! ~ZLB

Author's Response: Lordy what a wonderful review. I've read this more than once too and it makes my muse want to write more. Thank you so much...you made more than my day but my whole year so far. Glad you liked the story. K

A beautiful story! I loved your interpretation of Spike's mum and all the conselling she did for everyone else! She was a light in their darkness so to speak. And the attraction between her and Giles was so cute. I loved the characterization of all of the characters, and that they finally adressed both their strengths and weaknesses. Well done!

Author's Response: Thank you! Yup I titled it mask and mirrors to show Spike's masks that would be revealed and how Anne could act as a mirror to the others, showing them a side of themselves they might need to work on. I didn't plan the Giles/Anne part but the characters had minds of their own LOL. k

A great concept. I enjoyed reading the story ,but I would have thought she (Anne) would have needed more help adjusting to her surroundings. When Spike's mom arrived she seemed almost instantly adjusted and so self actualized that she just started doling out advice. I liked your version of her - don't get me wrong- but she seemed too perfect and it made her somewhat unreal. I loved the last 2 chapters and would have enjoyed reading more about the spuffy side of the story. I really loved the way you incorporated bits of old William with modern Spike. You really captured Williams speech pattern and character quite well. I would love to read more stories you might be inspired to write about William and Buffy.

Author's Response: Thank you for your thoughtful review. I must say that I tend to agree with your comments in theory ,it was only in practice that I made the choices that I did. The first constraint was length of story. The chapters that would have been necessary to flesh out Anne's learning curve would have become the focal point of the story and I was trying to tie it to the events of S5. I used a dramatic "cheat" with having her "speed learning" on the computer with the help of Willow and other aids from Giles. Another reason I didn't want Anne's story become the story (it was about stripping the masks from Spike/William and reflecting ..mirrors..the Scoobies for their own issues.). I intended to use Anne as a deus ex machina and didn't want to fall over the line making her a Mary Sue character in the process. She had to intervene and solve many of the problems in the group without being over the line. Again, I really appreciate your kind comments AND your justified concrit! Thank you for taking the time for both. Kathleen

OH that was the best story... cried my heart out in the beginning. And I love the references to the different Dr Who's and that Taster's Choice commercial that Anthony Stewart was in...Brilliant! Good show, loved it!

ps...Tom Baker was my fav

Author's Response: So very happy you enjoyed the story. Yes I could just see this group having the Dr. Who conversation...they had more in common than they wanted to believe IMHO. Thank you! k

Oh that was great, please tell me there will be a sequel, Buffy and Spikes wedding, Anne and GIles and more. I love her.

Author's Response: Thank you. So glad you love Anne, I do too. No sequel is planned but you never know where the muse leads. I am tickled that you would welcome more. k

Loved Dawn's closing lines, she summed up everything perfectly. :D Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, I really enjoyed reading it!
~ Congrats on your win over at the Fang Fetish Awards, Anne is such a great character she totally deserved the win. =)

Author's Response: Thank you! I think the group began to fall apart without a motherly influence...even Giles needed someone mature enough that he would respect their view to keep him from not seeing truth in the face of Council beliefs. Thank you for the congratulations too. k

This was one of my favorites. I loved Anne. She was just what Spike, Buffy, and the Scoobies needed.

Author's Response: Thank you! I think losing that motherly influence really hurt all of them. So glad you liked Anne and the story. k
