Bio:
I'm a dedicated reader of spuffy fanfiction and has been for several years. Over time I've read a lot of great fics by a lot of great authors. Two authors whose works I continuously return to are Eurydice1 and Anon462.

Eurydice1 is the author of stories such as Promise of Frost, Charms of the Clarion, Black Satin Voices, Rhapsody in Oil and By Rook or By Crook. Unfortunately she is not posted here, but can be found at e.g. http://www.loveslastglimpse.com/.
Another great writer is Anon462, who captured me with stories such as The Return, Reunions and It Hurts (So Bad). Although Anon462 has posted on this site it is only ONE of her stories, the rest can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/on4/anon462/.

At the top of my list of favourites are stories like:
And Here We Go Round Again by Peta
Becoming Spike by Peyton
Beloved in Blood by Ameeya Hawke
Buyer Beware by Just Sue
Caught Between Two Lovers by Pattyanne
Mafia Mistress by Spuffy_obsessed
Some Cold Lovin, Las Vegas Style by Bloodshedbaby
The Evil Inside by Jypzrose

and my all time favourite:
The Worst Betrayal by Twilightchild

Hi twilightchild, I've followed the story from the beginning but haven't made any reviews before now. On that note I would like to apologise for not having sent my praise before!
It’s a fantastic story, the continuously new twist that you introduce in almost every new chapter, which places it among my current favourites!
I'm especially looking forward to see who Spike blames for being there! :-) If he perhaps thinks that Buffy had anything to do with it - even if he didn't in the beginning he might have been confused late and thought she did. Or perhaps he doesn’t remember all from his time in Sunnydale. Who will he feel safe with (Buffy, Xander, Danaia, Dawn, Willow, etc.). I'm practically checking for updates on a daily basis and hope that this will not be one of those really good stories that for some strange reason as an UNF, which is just so wrong when authors do that!
Therefore, I hope you will listen to you fans and receive the praise you have earned. Keep up the good work and let's see some more chapters. :-)
Best regards, Maria
