Bio:
Air Force brat but lived most my life in/near Portland, Oregon.
Came to Buffy late -- had seen a few eps over the years but didn't start watching in earnest until early 2012. Before the 2012 fandom, I had already preferred Spike over all other characters, I just didn't know him that well yet. A Doctor Who/Torchwood fan, I had seen JM's turn on Torchwood and loved him there (God, I love an id character!), then solidified that love when I got hooked on BtVS.
I'm married to a man (since 1999) who has so many qualities in common with JM & Spike, it's no wonder I got hooked. (I mean it... I understand if some of you are jealous. My guy actually even has some facial/physical similarities... but not the abs, unfortunately. But then again, James himself doesn't have the abs anymore, either.) Luckily, he's not quite as jealous as James, so he's been amenable to going with me to meet James a number of times.
And now we're a part of a great group of friends from around the world who are fans of James and his band Ghost of the Robot; we mostly meet on Facebook, but sometimes get to meet in person, and they are ALL glorious people (some of whom I see lurking and contributing here). Most recently, I got to hang with a bunch of these fine fans, as well as James and the Ghosties (well, Sullivan and Charlie), for a whole week on the Comic Con at Sea cruise.
Have been thinking about getting started writing, but concerned my plot/dialogue skills won't be sufficient. Those elements aren't important, are they? ;-) I am an excellent editor, however: I can tighten up someone else's writing, and am especially strong on mechanics, so if spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, or vocabulary/word use are not your strong suits, I may be the beta for you!

I loved this fic. The romance was fairly fluffy, but had enough angst to make it reasonable and interesting enough. Loved the Edith bit, and the Gay!Evan/Evan!Victoria twist. Would have loved to see an epilogue that showed their reunion and reintegration with the Scoobies. Oh, and I think you might have used two different spellings for Stewart/Stuart... I thought he was introduced as Stewart and then it was Stuart at the end, but I haven't double-checked that.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this story - it was entertaining and really well done!

Love it! So far, this story has been fantastc... and you're one of the best writers on this site, so I feel compelled to issue a backhanded compliment by letting you know you have a few words used incorrectly (it's a compliment, because I usually don't bother with the writers whose works are riddled with mistakes):
1) nonplussed actually means the opposite of what you meant
2) invariably - you meant undoubtedly (or a synonym)
3) tortuous - you actually meant torturous
Words one and three are mistakes I've made myself, so I'm sensitive to them...
Hope you're out there still writing; you have a talent!

Very sweet, a decent read, though it drags a bit in the middle. Question though: it seemed like you were leading toward William as being the author of the romance novel he bought for Buffy at the beginning, but it didn't go anywhere. Did I miss something? I don't really understand why he kept talking to Buffy about whether she was really enjoying it, unless it was to reveal he wrote it, or that he is a romance buff and that one is his favorite or something ...
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing. The book he gives her isn\'t that important. He\'s trying to be civil towards her. He gave her something to do. There isn\'t anymore to it.

Good story! A little high on the angst for me, and it seemed to take too long to find out the truth about Riley, and would have liked to see more of the reconciliation... but other than those quibbles, it was really good!

Sweet story. Lots of angst. A number of grammar errors. Overall, a decent read.
