Ok, let me see if I catch all. I hope I did, cause
it would be bad if I had missed something. Also, this is just the first mail.
There are more to come.
Oh, and before reading any further, pleasebear in
mind, I have set back most fics for the past weeks. That means, that feedback
may come late, and some of the things I mention here may lie a little back
:-)
Eric Baily.....
Well, well, well. What do you
think you are doing here? You start with a small 'continuation' of one of my
siglets, and make a "Missing Scene" out of it. And now, after gracing us with
hilarious uc-shipping overviews, you go into full length missing scene fics,
starting from the very beginning. Outstanding job! You showed us where the show
should have gone from the very beginning :-D (and this is my B/W shipper side
shining through). A small tip for your future projects. Watch the episodes and
capture those special looks Buffy always throws towards Willow. They are the
best evidence for us that there just HAS to be something between them. I just
watched "I Robot, You Jane" today, and I was overwhelmed by the things thathave
been said. Even though it was in german (still hate the dubbing), I was quite
sure that there were some conversations that could have been seen as them trying
to get 'closer' ;-) Keep the good work coming.
Kirayoshi.....
Jim, you are a really
magnificant writer. "Sappho's Scroll" was a great read, and there were scenes
where I really had to laugh. Maybe it's because I don't dwell in the Xenaverse,
but you did quite some job here. And "Stranger in Her Eyes" was a true bomb.
Though I must say, I noticed the small 'copies' from my fic. Great way of
focusing in on the relationship and the jealousy of Tara. You have to keep up
with Shy to keep this series this great. And for an old read, "Ghost of a
Chance" was finally finished. Another great read.
"Life is sweet".... would I be here to mark it for
accomplishing your challenge, you'd get an A+. Had I to describe how I liked it,
you'd get an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
:-D
You truly know how to write your stories, and I'm
looking forward to anything you grace us with.
And "The Third Power", what can I say? Youcapture
some very memorable moments, in ways that are just hilarious. I won't go into
further detail, cause I don't wanna spoil anything in case some have not read it
yet, but it was incredibly great, and after that cliffhanger, I just want, no I
NEED more.
"I'm Free" is another great example as to how good
you are. I second all the praises you already got, and throw in my own amount,
just to give you a good reason, not to stop writing.
Shyfox.....
Great job with "NKA" and "Keeper
of the Stars". Errors aside, it was a beautiful wedding, and more than worth the
time invested to read it. NKA... It was damn time again to see Janeway backin
the picture. And after that simply perfect part 8, I'm desperately waiting for
just about anything you give me to read. As for "Past Imperfect", you have put
yourself in quite some situation there, and I'm really looking forward to see
more of this, especially to see how a 15 year old Buffy will react to a 19+year
old Willow. And there is still the question as to is this somehow linked with
another of your stories? Answers, I crave, answers.
Shehulk.....
You have done a great job with
"There once was a demon..." You wrote it in a way that helped me tremendously
with staying here to wait for all the fics. Loved the cola scene (believe me, I
still have that scene dancing around in my mind :-). I noticed that you
constantly switched the perspective from Buffy to Willow and back. Still you
never made the mistake to explain the same second of the scene two times inthe
same way, and kept moving the scenes forward while switching between them.
Again, great job! I'm looking forward to see more from you.
Kimber.....
You amazed me with the work you
did with "These Roads we travel". I'm really waiting for more, even though I
think I can wait a little more, with all the fics I still have to read ;-)
"Everything fades in time" was a hard read, and I'm going to take my time to
read it at least once again. (feel honored, I don't do that for everyone ;-)))
Janine.....
oh wonderful Janine. You should
already know my opinion, after all, I was the first to tell you how much I liked
"Forgive if not Forget" (hard not to be when being the beta reader ;-). Anyway,
and again, I LOVED your story, and despite your moving into a new home, I hope
you'll find the time to write something new and I'm looking forward to anything
you'll grace us with.
Pat Kelly.....
Pat, I revise all my earlier
compliments towards you. You're not a genious, you're a GOD! Believe me, after
reading what you did with "My time in Sunnydale", I can't think different of you
than as a fanfic god. As I first read that title, I supposed you put
yourself into that universe, and would have written yourself as if you'd been
part of that universe from the start. Just what did I think? Somehow I cometo
wish you'd make a sequel to this, to get to know them a little better.
Especially Tara ;-)
Just do me one favor. Never, absolutely
NEVER, stop writing. If you do, then I'll personally huntyou
down, tie you into one of those hospital weelchairs, and torture you with wet
noodles, all the time forcing you to watch Barney and the Teletubbies in a
special 672 hour edition. And I'll continue this torment until you start writing
again. But that's just in case you ever cut what has become my lifethread, if
you ever stop letting me read your work, your stories, things that can onlycome
from a fanfic god. Please, do me that favor :-).
Shadowlander.....
A very funny part behind "Tiger
by the Tail" 5, but too short. You should know that such teasers can turn a
group of pieceful fanfic readers into a lynch mob that's chasing you cause they
want more. So feed us. Give us more.
Sam.....
You're creating quite some
tension between the three girls. First you let Willow realize too late how it is
for her feelings, and then you let them suffer because they all fear to loose
their dearest. You're doing quite some job here. But, there's just too often a
but :-), I found quite some mistakes in the stories that would have been
avoidable by simply beta reading them. But all in all, I liked the stories,and
I'm really looking forward as to which way you continue. Also, you write Tara a
little too much stuttering. In her current state as Buffy's gf, assuming she
would feel as good as she's doing in canon with Willow, she wouldn't stutter
that much, except in situations where she gets nervous, or unsure about herself.
On the other side, you manage to capture Willow Perfect. I don't have that much
time, so I can't beta all your stories, but if you want to, then I'll beta this
series. :-)
Carol.....
The Reinfield goes along quite
well. Seeing as how Buffy learned to live with her inner primitive, Tara as
someone who knows enough to know that the Slayer's been treated totally wrong,
and the Council in the middle of all that, is just awesome. Keep this
coming.
HF (and I'm going to keep using this name,cause
'fool' just sounds ridiculous if said that way).....
First read of yours was"I hate
my stupid Job". Mostly because I wanted to read Jim's "I'm free" and I mustsay,
you really wrote a good songfic. Pieces of conversations, thrown in for good
measurement of the song, and all showing the most important moments. This
part, is actually written like one of the BtVS teasers in the previews or as a
"Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer" clip. Like you have 'No
Doubt' playing the song in the background, while the video clips of these
conversations are running over the screen. Marvelous job!
Alex P......
"A year in Hell". I canwithout
doubt say that this was one of the most depressing fics I've ever read. Seeing
as how Willow had to suffer in that year, only to find out in the end that all
that she had lived through, her own personal hell, that all that was something
that she could have been avoidable, had she just gone back. What do we learn
from that? Don't try to run away from your inner demons. It's not worth it;you
loose too much by running and gain nothing. Face them, face and fight them,and
in the end you'll be glad you did it.
It's good to see she made it in the end, and it was
a very good written piece of work. I'm not one of those who are going to send
you hate mails for what you have done to Willow, because I know exactly that for
all the happies we get in fanfiction, there are also some sad and
depressing stories that have to be written. I'm glad you did that.
