If This is Life by Renee Rated: 15 [Reviews - 21]
Summary: One moment changed her entire life and took everything away from her. When she turns seventeen, Buffy Summers runs away from the crumb life has left her with and tries to start over. What she least expected was to find a man, Rupert Giles, who offered to help. Keeping the secrets of her dark past to herself, she lives in a self-created hell. Spike, Rupert's son, soon makes her realize that somewhere deep inside herself, there's a girl who can be happy once again.

OK, first, this story is off to an amazing start.. You absolutely have to keep going. Second, you don't know it, but you've given me my own muse back. I have a dark fic as well that is in a fairly similar vein (no pun intended), and reading another take on the situation got my own muse going again. Thanks!

Summary: Set during an alternate season 2 sometime after Halloween. Buffy is on the run to avoid recapture by the military group that had her kidnapped and experimented on. When she finds herself pregnant through artificial means, her desperation to stay one step ahead of them escalates. Yes, this is a vampire/slayer fic, and of COURSE it's spuffy. NEW CHAPTER POSTED

You my dear, have an evil muse. I can appreciate that. My own is incredibly evil as well! LOL

I'm a bit shocked that you don't have a beta, but that's good. If you are cranking this out withour beta backing, then I expect some excellent stuff from you in the future. Beta's may feel a little intrusive sometimes, but they really only help to make things better.

As for finding a beta, there are a couple of places to find one. One place would be the BSV. There is a beta list posted. Just remember to send an email asking befor eyou send the fiction. Read the descriptions, and talk to them a little before you decide. Beta's are a little like clothes, everyone needs them, but not everything fits everyone right.

As for Riley, well, I never really cared for Riley. I always got the distinct impression that he was an Angel substitute for Buffy. And he had some major issues (but so does everyone else). And I don't see this as a giant leap from the character on the show in any way.

You're doing great! Keep it up.

Author's Response: Riley was Buffy's "token average joe" because she was so scared of what happened between her and angel. I can totally identify with that as my first husband was a bit on the scary side. hubby number two...i thought he was going to be my average normal joe (which i dont' think i ever would have wanted) but he surprised me witha bit of "spike personality" ha! At any rate...I have found a beta for this and I look forward to improving it. I'll finish the rough draft first...but then I'll make revisions. I probably won't make any plot changes. My plot is pretty set. But I might write some of it differently, expand scenes, contract scenes...etc. we'll see what happens :)
