PART 2 OF THE REVIEW.
The plot was very good. I rarely have read an AU fic that would have our main characters human, but the story still contained supernatural elements. That you used Tara as the witch, not Willow kept it fresh too. I like your OCs like James and Rich, I like Dru starting the plot but Angel taking the vampire story-line taking over; it was rather unexpected. At the beginning I really thought that Dru would stay as the main villain. At times I felt that Angel's character could have been opened more to the reader, but I realise that as the story was closing in on the climax, that there was simply no room for developing his character. Despite it being a very different story from 'Changing Lives (which is still my favourite), ll in all it was a very enjoyable light reading, just what I needed. Thank you for writing it.

Author's Response: I think adding the element of the supernatural put some people off - they didn't understand why I did it. A plain sequel to CL would have been ok but probably a bit run of the mill - plenty of rock star Spike fics out there. I originally was going to use Oz and Willow but since my hopes lie with being published for original work I decided to develop Rich's character. I gave him Tara as a girlfriend as I thought having two pivotal characters as OC's would be too much. I agree that I didn't expand Angel's character but the story was about Spike and I didn't want to get too bogged down with Angel :) I have loved writing both CL and PL and will probably do a third one in time - hence the appearance of the other dimension James :) Thanks for reading and for letting me know your thoughts :)

PART 1 OF THE REVIEW.
I finally got myself together and talked myself into reading this fic. I was afraid that it would be something like a Loss of Pride, that though I loved it featured helpless Spike most of the time. I like Spike stronger than that which is my personal preference. Anyway, 'Parallel Lives' surprised me; while serious and angsty at times (which I mostly like very much) was overriden with fun and comedy and at times a bit even 'over the top' (in a good way) humour. (the review refuses to be posted, I'll chop it in half.)

Author's Response: I'm glad that your decided to read it and that you enjoyed it. I had a great time writing it.

What a wonderful ending! I really loved this story, and the thing with James was a totally unexpected twist. Can't wait to read more from you!

Author's Response: Hi Pet. Thank you so much for telling me that you loved the story - it was a fun one to write. The James thing has set things up nicely for a third in the series in the future :)

And so it's over , Spike can now live chain free, unless he and buffy are into that kinda thing, tee hee. I don't know about the whole James from another dimension thing though , maybe if he had memories of Spike it would be different ,but this way it's like a consolation prize instead of the gold . I loved reading this story , are u going to post the man fic soon? That's really gonna cause a stir, you'll probably get flamed, better buy flame proof clothing first, ha, ha.

Author's Response: Spike can indeed live without being tied up - at least until I get my hands on him again! LOL! As regards James - the fact that he wasn't their James was kind of the point :) They would have loved their James to come back but he can't - he's dead. This James couldn't have known Spike cos in his dimension he was a vampire who dusted years when James was 17. Got lots of scope for the next story in this series. ----The Man will be posted when it's complete - you'll see it as soon as it is! I'm pretty much flame proof after what I got for Helen! LOL! *hugs*

I so can understand Spike's creeps ;)
James was indeed from the other dimension. No wonder he is confused.
Good for James that he can stay; this dimension will be more kinder to him.
Glad to see Spike being happy with Buffy again. Unexpected that he kept some vampire abilities.
Not sure if I should wish for more (a sequel). I would like it, yeah, but another 'Drusilla' (or Angel, going to xx/other after the spuffyness? That wouldn't be fun. Otherwise yes, sequel :)

Author's Response: I so can understand Spike's creeps - you and me both! LOL! I felt mean that I'd killed 'our' James off and so thought that 'a' James deserved a shot at a nice life! If (more likey, when) I do another sequel you'll be safe from any Spike/Dru as she's dust! LOL! Thanks so much for reading and for all of your reviews :)

Brilliant ending. :) I'm not sure how I feel about Spike keeping some of the vampiric powers... but if you decide to continue the storey, I suppose they might be useful... :)

And I hope you do decide to continue, because I love reading about these characters! :)*

Author's Response: Hi Braydie! Thank you so much for saying that the ending was briliant! :) I just thought that the super powers might keep him out of trouble in a future fic. I think that I will write more of ths verse! Thanks so much for reading :)

Thanks and congratulations on another wonderful fic! You and your evil plot bunnies really had me worried for a moment with those flashing eyes! Looking forward to reading more adventures in the Mabelverse!!!

Author's Response: Thank you so much Melly - delighted that you enjoyed the fic (Sunnyd awards are open for nominations! hint hint! LOL) Just thought a super strenght Spike might be good fun to write in a future Mabelverse fic :) Will miss these characters.
