Wow, Buffy has gone back to keeping-loved-ones-in-the-dark ways again, huh? When will she learn that can put others in danger and leads her toward loneliness, since it destroys intimacy?

Can't wait for the next installment... and not sure where in Pacific NW you've been, but here's a shout-out from Portland, Oregon!

Author's Response: I think she looks at it like "Well, NOW I have a good reason to keep him in the dark." *Shakes head* - That also never works Hi Portland! I miss the Pacific NW! After 13 wonderful years on Fidalgo Island (in the San Juans, between Vancouver Canada and Seattle) I had to relocate to the bible belt last summer :( But I had a great 9 days in Seattle a few days ago! ADORE Portland!!

Oh my goodness - thanks for the William P.O.V.!! I will happily take credit for your decision to use him as the narrator for that chapter! LOL! ;-)

Poor William.... writing this chapter from his P.O.V really underscores his confusion. While, yes we feel Buffy's pain as she realizes she's been chosen [again], I think seeing things through William's eyes really shows us how frustrating this situation must be for the guy. His wife, who he loves beyond anything, seems totally bonkers! I liked the part where you mention how she went from Bessie to wife to amnesiac - ish person to 'I am the Slayer and must hold everything in', really sums up what a crazy ride this has been for him.

I can't wait for more!! Will Buffy kick some racists people's butt? Was the riot started by Drusilla and her new companion? If so, will Dru realize her mistake in killing this time period's slayer - making Buffy a formidable foe once again? Will William have the hots for Slayer-Buffy? Oooh! So many questions, can't wait to see how this will play out. Thanks again for the great work!

P.S. You know - I really wish that the "Opinion of story" option below the review box had a choice of "Loved it". *pouts*

Author's Response: POV always seems to kick my ass :( I wrote 1000 words of chapter 31 - unhappy with it as always, and realized it was in the wrong POV too. I should just write a story "in stereo" and have both povs! Then when I publish, just pick which one! Thanks again for your thoughts. I've been feeling discouroaged with this story as my readership is dropping off (and just about dead on LJ too). So to know you're still along for the ride (and wondering about the right kinds of questions!) is 15 different kinds of encouraging. Thanks!

Buffy found something, and still hasn't quite come clean to William. Love that he's decided that she must have lost it by now. Certainly hope that she hasn't! Fabulous bits of history in here, too. Now, I've just got to question if our more nefarious couple is behind any of this? And what can our girl tell William that will set him at ease? So many questions. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: As per your suggestion, I had to go and listen to Billy Joel's "Billy the Kid." Twice, because I am a glutton. Wow! He did manage to get 3 things right tho! But the "where he was born, where he died and a ton of other things...?" Not so much! I thought it was funny that he had Billy robbing banks! Bily jut rustled cows n horses and never robbed at all. Anyway, it feels like I'm losing readers and am glad you're still with me!

Can u have Buffy tell William, "Forget William it's Chinatown."

Author's Response: I know that's how I feel whenever I'm in Chinatown!

Hmmm ... so, I wonder if the evil Buffy felt was an actual demon, or simply the hatred emanating from the crowd. And, she may be the Slayer, but that many rioters with guns and torches could easily kill her. Poor William, thinking she's gone mad (perhaps she has!) and that he should've seen it sooner. I wish she would've trusted him enough to tell him - although the Slayer always feels like she has to hold things in. I wonder if that's part of the mojo the Shadowmen put in all Slayers: Secrecy. Interesting history lesson as well. History books, I've seen quite clearly as I do some research on my own upcoming story, are written by the victors. (Thank you for your help on that, BTW!)

Author's Response: I really like yoour idea about the shadowmen adding the secret slayer ingredient of insecurity. And you arre absolutely riight about ... something else! Hope you're having fun w the researchy!

People are capable of such hatred it boggles my mind. It's so much easier to commit crimes when hidden behind the anonymity of a crowd and this chapter got it to a T. I loved it and can't wait for more!!! Such a cliffhanger!

Author's Response: Thanks EoR. Creepy crowds can be unfun to write. So glad you're still with me
