The After-Christmas Feedback Blowout!

[Jim_D_Means@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Well, I finally got caught up with the fanfic that piled up while I was away from my computer for Christmas. So what's the verdict? Well...

Shyfox; Oh man! Both sweet silly stuff and raw angst! My compliments! Your take on Night Before Christmas had me rolling in the aisles, and your final chapter of Tell Me That I'm Dreaming had me near tears. Take a bow, kiddo. Okay, good, now get back to your keyboard and get Buffy back! Willow can't take too much more of this! And I miss your B/W love scenes. In fact, I'm going to reread Night Before Chirstmas, Buffy Style before turning in. Redhead in a green teddy. That's so Christmasy, ain't it?

Soren; You have an interesting idea of what constitutes smut. You manage to maintain a sexy atmosphere in your stories even when Buffy and Willow aren't really doing anything. Kudos on an entertaining romp. Awaiting more with bated breath.

Femvamp; Hooboy! Taking a break from The Story, are we? Well, if the results are as spooky as "The Wrong Side of Destiny", your break may be forgiven. I hope that when I get started on my vamp-Buffy story in Somewhere Book 3, I handle it as well as you have. Oh, and I enjoyed the Xander take on It's A Wonderful Life. I mean, everybody and their uncle have done versions on Wonderful Life(including Joss himself, in 'The Wish'), your version was consistent to the characters, and a blast to read.

Kimber; Yes! Willow's back! She's awake! And she doesn't have amnesia(lemme guess, you were gonna give her amnesia, but Shyfox beat you to the punch, right? :-P ). Can't wait for the sweet, sloppy Buffy/Willow reunion I know you have planned. Followed by some great catastrophe, no doubt. I know my listmom well enough.

Selaney; Now that's what I like! Moving On reminded me of Pat Kelly's "Two of a Kind" and "Summer Friends" stories; keeping close to the original episodes, but tweaking them to reflect a Buffy/Willow relationship. One question; how does the Spike's obsession plotline fit in? I don't see Willow going into a blind jealous rage over him(like a certain cardboard cutout in fatigues who shall remain nameless(his initials are RF)), and she certainly won't drop Buffy like a sack of wheat with just a note saying "You Never Loved Me". But it would still be an interesting dynamic. Spike as a spoiler for our favorite couple. Oh, I forgot, is Tara still in your timeline? I'd like to see Buffy and Willow help her cope with her Family, even if Willow and Tara aren't together in your continuity.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. 
Later all,
Kirayoshi
