Re: FIC: Life's Surprises Series - Someone Different (Part 2)

Hey Pat,
Again, I loved this. Much cuteness. I've been swayed to the idea of
Buffy/Tara completely now. Partly, I admit, because I've adored Tara
on the show lately.

By the way, one of the things I like most about your work is your
dialogue. You always manage to capture the 'voice' of each character
perfectly. Especially Buffy, you've managed to capture her essential,
well, Buffiness, here gorgeously. I've read a lot of fan fiction
where Buffy herself just didn't ring true for me, but you've captured
her. Especially in the first part where she barges in on Giles and
demands magic books. I could just hear her yelling 'Gil-es!' and that
fond teasing note that creeps into her voice when she winds him up.
Great stuff.

I wouldn't have minded it being a little longer though. Not that I
think it had pacing problems at all - I'm just greedy. I would have
liked more of Buffy's progressing from hmm-Tara's-sweet-and-a-really-
good-friend to Damn! She's hot. But, like I said, that's just me
being greedy :-).
