YAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

MORE VAMPIRE STORIES!!!!!!

MORE B/W/X!!!!!!!!

I've said before that I don't like being a pushy bugger, but I was about 
3 days away from writing a big grovelly e-mail begging you for more of 
this most excellent series.

And while I'm thinking of it, I had better stop auto-forwarding my 
e-mails to my work e-mail. This one popped into my inbox and now the 
Admiral knows what the Snoopy dance looks like :(

Talk about a professionally embarrassing moment.

Pity the old Admiral wasn't still here, he was a big Buffy fan and would 
probably have asked me to forward the story to him.

Anyway, back to the story.

Wow.

Talk about something coming out of left field. When you said that 
someone would find out that B/W/X were vampires, I was thinking that 
maybe Faith might come across them in a nightclub or maybe B/W/X would 
run into a baby Slayer who manages to get word to Giles.

But resurrecting Jenny and binding her to B/W/X...

If you've ever read my 'Two Halves of the Same Coin', you'll know I like 
way out of left field plot twists.

And damn! What a plot twist!

I love how you're managing to get inside their heads and keep the right 
balance of what they once were and what they now are.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. In a slightly disturbing vampire way.

Damn! You get the Scooby dynamic better than Joss ever did.

How much easier would it have been if they had figured that out back 
when they were alive...

Other things I love in this (can't list them all, too many):
Buffy and Willow's concern about Xander
Buffy and Willow's fight (and subsequent make up sex)
Giles unease with B/W/X disappearance

One thing I'm not loving:
The gut feeling I'm getting that Giles is going to have to kill the 4 
people he loves most.

Looking forward to part 3.
