awwww, Dan, two weeks ain't too bad - I don't put a time limit on
acceptable feedback - just glad to get it al all

I just wish I had more time to write and was quicker - I'm not sure
I'd read me with the lags between updates ;P

and I hadn't seen Oz as a distraction, wasn't intended that way, but
is as valid an interpretation as any

since I didn't bring B & W together in some epic, soulmate induced
love haze, but rather as an expression of safety and friendship
(underlying love, of course - no doubt) I have yet to really deal with
the Oz issue at all between them. I have nicely removed this issue by
just putting him on tour (ain't fiction great?!)

Basically the way I see all three of them handling this at this point
is they ignore the other relationships. Since Willow travels to see
Oz, he and Buffy don't trip over each other in Sunnydale (forcing them
to deal with reality). They can religate the knowledge of the other to
an almost abstract concept.

Now, how I saw this last chapter and Willow's melt down... combination
of stresses (parents abandonment and Oz's) and the final, ultimate
abandonment would be Buffy's death, especially now that they're lovers
- cuz we all know how Willow likes to think: she went from the parent
issue to the Oz issue and that led her to the buffy issue and we have
melt down.

If I can make it work (dialog wise) this issue is planned on being
dealt with in chapter 4 (Ooooo, foreshaddowing)

Anyway, Dan - was that more than you EVER wanted to know about how I
think?

> Also enjoyed the dialogue:  "I am hereby move-free."  "I would do

I'm glad the dialog works for you - it gives me fits to write. I have
to remember they are only 19 (rich as hell but 19) - and that they
haven't had all the experiences that they will

> Thanks, and well, y'know...more, please.
you're welcome and I know, I do have some ideas for #4 kicking around
but RL is crazy right now (work has decided to implode) but hopefully
by the new year.
