Re: FIC: Deterioration (4/?)

["japmap" <japmap@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shannon:

Glad to see more of this fic. There's the Willow we know and love, 
who,besides being determined research girl, even remembers to leave 
notes and protect herself, so she won't worry Buffy(nice details 
which say a lot about their depth of understanding and feelings for 
each other). But (whine,beg,plead)please don't have Willow do what 
she must have been contemplating spell-wise. IMHO,it would kill 
Buffy just as surely as the cancer, just slower. On the other hand, 
if transfering the cancer to say--someone immortal--could work, then 
a good solution might be on the horizon? Hey, I'm just a sucker for 
a happy ending...I guess I'm hoping that regeneration is going to 
follow "deterioration".

Just my two cents.
