Reviews for Flood Cleo 2008-01-23 id # 7137 Awesome Start!!! Please Update Soon!!! Rin 2008-01-23 id # 7138 Wow. I'm honestly intrigued. You took something seemingly impossible, and made it...dare I say...beautiful and amazing. Maybe it's your strong sense of characterization, or your amazing prose (and Howard's) but I honestly don't think of this as a PWP. I think it could be evolved into a full-blown story, probably one of the best, most original fanfics I've ever read. You're right! Nobody has gone with that yet! There was a story where Willow became "Will" from a spell, and she did it with Buffy...but never like this, and it fits so well with the canon plot line, too. Kudos double time! Ahn 2008-01-23 id # 7139 This is a great story. One of the best out there. I love Harmony getting hit by Buffy. What Buffy was going through. How Willow handled waking up and Buffy not being there. You did great on the emotional end of all of that. Nothing more to say then well done. Ahn Valyssia 2008-01-24 id # 7140 "I honestly don't think of this as a PWP." Goodness, I do hope not. The point was to really avoid titillation for obvious reasons. Howard and I actually had a rather lengthy debate over exactly this. Feel sorry for Howard. I was adamant that as little reference be made to the alteration as possible. Howard got more than I wanted as a part of the compromise. Coauthors! *shakes fist* This story is so not about the parts, it's about the people. There's one scene that plays with the erotic, but it is quite appropriate. If I were not to play with any erotic imagery in the primary coupling scene in the piece, it would simply fall flat. Thanks for the extremely kind words! Val Lost 2008-01-24 id # 7145 Intersting take, although I have read a fanfiction where Buffy developed that certain aspect of the demon before. *shrug* Although as always, you write excelently. Keep it up. - L. Anon 2008-01-25 id # 7150 I'll be honest by saying that 'aspect of the demon' stories always leave me a bit cold, to the extent where I was on the verge of stopping when it became apparent that this was such a story. Then I remembered the name of the author. Given that every story you have so far graced us with has either dealt with old concepts in an entertaining way or hard concepts in a well thought out and well written way, I decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did. The interraction between Buffy and Willow was very believable and quite touching. Willow's reaction to waking up alone was perfectly in keeping with her character at the time the story is set, The idea that all women would become somewhat enamoured with Buffy because of her new aspect was both funny and interesting. I have to say though, the thing I found most intersting about this piece was the interraction between Buffy and Angel and Angel's subsequent regret. I eagerly await more. -Chris- Buffillowara Buffillowara@gmail.com 2008-01-29 id # 7160 i hope this isn't the end! first i'd like to say this is the first serious transformation fic I've read dealing with some of the same problems. The other fic was more of a comedy if anything and it was F/B and F/C with a incredibly straight Willow. Since the catalyst of the story happens so soon in, think it would help to put the Earshot line b/c it took me awhile to realize what it was even after the fact. Good so far and i'm willing myself not to get to into it incase updates take forever i'm already suffering from the waiting for too many. With bad movies and writers strike this is the best form of entertainment and it's broad unlike tv now a days Rin 2008-01-30 id # 7168 Oh, man...you're so damn good. I love how you kept true to character with the whole Giles/Willow conversation, and how she explained that Buffy didn't ejaculate. That was priceless. One of the best moments written in fanfic history, in my opinion. I really love these long updates. Makes the wait (somewhat) worth it, even though I want to read it again when there are updates, just so I don't miss anything in the next installment!! I just can't get enough...and it's well played, too. I'm curious to see how you get Buffy/Willow to adapt after the fact...so far, so good! Jessie179 x_nirrti_x@yahoo.com 2008-01-30 id # 7169 Is there more? I gotta say that this is the most original piece of Buffy fanfiction I've ever read and I do hope there is more. It'd be a real shame if there wasn't. Ahn 2008-01-30 id # 7170 Giles and Willow trying to talk about sex, how funny is that. I almost peed in my pants it was so funny. Great job with Buffy's dream that even freaked me out and then her waking up not being able to see. She must be going crazy. Great work on the story. Your the best. Whedonist 2008-01-31 id # 7171 Okay you, as much as I enjoy reading your stuff...I usually do it in pieces...ya know right before bed and you go "what do you think?" and send me a snippet. I must say I think I like the whole piece put togetgher better =0P . Also, the beta chapter I read, didn't have Buffy's snake dream, and I think that it's probably my favorite dream sequence you've written. Of course I could have read it and forgotten, 'cuz I read it last week and we both know last week was no bueno on the time front....so... *hugs* to you and Howard on the excellent job! W becca willowcougar@yahoo.com 2008-02-01 id # 7172 Excellant story, I'm glad someone finally wrote about this subject. About the emotional toll it takes when confusion and uncertainy takes its toll. What defines us, the parts of our bodys or our feelings for another of the same gender. Keep going I'll be looking for updates. Again well done. Valyssia 2008-02-01 id # 7174 *pokes her nose in and looks around* "I hope this isn't the end!" "Is there more?" It's never the end until I say, "The End," and I almost never say that. *has a vague sensation of deja vu* Lemme ramp up those of you that don't understand Valyssia. I've found that roughly 60,000 words is enough to completely explore a concept in this form. So, as a rule, my stories tend to follow a format of 6 or 7 chapters that total roughly that word count. Give/ take...more or less. As I sit here chapter 3 is 9977 words complete and in the hands of my beta reader. He will work on it during his days off on Monday/ Tuesday of this coming week and it will be published and ready for viewing on Wednesday. "Excellent story, I'm glad someone finally wrote about this subject." I couldn't resist it. The gross oversimplification that this might simply be another story about Buffy with a dick, when weighed against what it might actually become appealed to my evil nature. The most rewarding part of being a writer for me is the idea that I might actually inspire thoughtful reflection amongst my peers. This was perfect material to accomplish that end. "Okay you, as much as I enjoy reading your stuff...I usually do it in pieces...ya know right before bed and you go "what do you think?" and send me a snippet. I must say I think I like the whole piece put togetgher better =0P" I just love picking on you Whedonist. You're such a great target and you squirm so well. Rin - I picked up my copy of 'Anywhere But Here' yesterday and have read it twice now. The material is digesting. Will I ever do anything with it? It seems to me I already have. See the end of Gravity for details and a segment in Wings where Willow talks about Tara's death. I pretty much went there already. If I find the material otherwise inspiring in the future I'll certainly, happily, exploit it. *cracks knuckles and goes back to torturing Buffy* Val Lost 2008-02-01 id # 7180 I love the new chapter, especially Willow's explanation, I was laughing so hard that the people around me were giving me some funny looks, haha, great job. - L. jessie179 x_nirrti_x@yahoo.com 2008-02-06 id # 7196 MORE! guy youn2731@yahoo.com 2008-02-06 id # 7198 This story is pretty interesting. Please update again soon. Anon 2008-02-06 id # 7201 cool story. can't wait for more. Rin 2008-02-06 id # 7202 Ohh...an update...the highlight of my day, as always. I'm curious to find out who the arrow hit! Whedonist 2008-02-07 id # 7203 Shiny as a light bulb... full sentences be damned! W Buffillowara Buffillowara@gmail.com 2008-02-07 id # 7205 did the whole idea that Buffy didn't ejaculate was simply to avoid the more obvious(tiresome for the most part) of transformation-pregnancy plot lines? I don't understand why Faith would still try and do something to Buffy after planning to leave. But then again this is just like one of the many things i couldn't understand why Faith did things. It's at this point i can say i'm officially "in" and waiting for The End and not just the next chapter. Lost 2008-02-07 id # 7206 Okay, how are you gonna do that??? What happened? *concerned face* now I'm all worried, great update though - L. Valyssia 2008-02-08 id # 7207 "Did the whole idea that Buffy didn't ejaculate was simply to avoid the more obvious(tiresome for the most part) of transformation-pregnancy plot lines?" Partially, however, the issue is finally resolved in a very strange way later on in the plot. The fact is that there are only so many ways one can go with it and I wanted to pick something different than the standard 'hurt the character' line of crap. Having an alien rip out of Willow's abdominal cavity? Not so much. Sorry. I like to avoid the obvious and the tired. Creating new and different, or trying to, is what I do. Repeating Cordy's pregnancy would've made me crazy...umm...er, crazier. "I don't understand why Faith would still try and do something to Buffy after planning to leave." Faith loathes Buffy. At this point her goals and the Mayor's goals mesh. When she says 'get some and get gone' what she intends is far from sexual. The 'some' she wants is blondie's blood. The 'gone' is obvious, she wants to skip town. It's a revenge thing. She thought she was setting herself up for real power and a real sort of 'family' feeling like she gets in the show. In one deft move Buffy destroys those plans and in doing so makes two powerful people very, very angry with her. Faith is part of that duo. Faith is also not stupid. In canon had she attacked Buffy in season three it would've been pretty much as I present it IMO. It wouldn't have been a frontal assault. She doesn't attempt a frontal assault on Angel in canon. She plays sneaky and skirts the shadows. The direct attack in canon instead comes as a result of Buffy's anger and desperation. Later on in the story Faith's anger turns to fear. She acts out of desperation. But for now she's just salty and wantsome for her piece of flesh. "It's at this point i can say i'm officially "in" and waiting for The End and not just the next chapter." You sound frustrated. Please don't be. It may take me time to explain, but I always try to. As to: 'The End.' I've already stated I almost never say that. "Okay, how are you gonna do that?" Huh? Whatever 'that' is I'm just gonna do it. One of the joys of being a deity in my own fantasy is that I can just do things. Evil things. Bad things. Vile things. *cackles madly and hands Lost a map* *is proofing the next 9800 or so words* And the story moves on. Val Shadowcub 2008-02-08 id # 7208 Buff can be so stupid, by not talking to Will and staying close, she's leaving her open to Faithy. Plus she didn't use any type of protection at all. This aspect of the demon I was hoping somebody would use it. Anon 2008-02-13 id # 7213 Cool chapter Lost 2008-02-13 id # 7214 I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I love the way that you write Willow, you just seem to capture the essence of her character very well, especially in this latest chapter. :D - L. Ahn 2008-02-13 id # 7216 I don't know what's more funny Willow trying to tell Giles she started her period or Willow kicking the mayor's head around! Also how Buffy's mom took the whole thing with what she walked in on. You also did a great job with the emotional stuff going on with everybody. You know I love your writing and am always wanting more. Your the best what more can I say. Ahn Rin 2008-02-15 id # 7219 Aww...she asked Buffy to prom. How cute!! And...love the shoutout to Futurama...good addition. This is an interesting take on what could've happened in the series...and I believe it! zinerva 2008-02-16 id # 7225 I know I've told you this before, but I just love this piece. It is just, WOW! The way you handle the emotional turmoil running throughout the piece is just incredible. I await each further piece of any of your writing with great anticipation. I can't think of a better way to spend a quiet Saturday afternoon than by reading your stories. It is always a great experience! emily Auriam 2008-02-18 id # 7235 Love the story ! Please keep writing love it very much Thank you Anon 2008-02-19 id # 7237 great story Anon 2008-02-20 id # 7238 great chapter. please continue to update. Ahn 2008-02-20 id # 7240 Great way for Angel to rescue Faith. Can't wait to see what they do now. Looks like Gile's got through to Weasley. I just hope he stays on the side of the good. Pretty smart of Buffy hiding pill under her tonge. Still doing great with this story in every aspect of it. Keep up the great work! Ahn Anon 2008-02-21 id # 7241 I have to say: this story has me worried. Actually worried about a fictional character. Only very rarely do I encounter a story that causes me to become emotionally invested in the characters. The last time I remember it happening to this degree was when I learned what Mad-Hamlet had planned for the rest of Dianna Wears Red. Anyways, back to the point. I'm worried about Buffy. The decision she's made... it really is difficult to read about how she feels. I don't know how (or even if) you plan to get around this, but I feel confident it will be well written, well handled and, as with the best of angsty stories, utterly gutwrenching to read. That's the power of good angst: no matter how much you want to put it down, you can't. -Chris- Cuprit 2008-02-21 id # 7242 I don't know if it's just me but Buffy seems kinda depressed (LOL). Can't wait for the next chapter. Good Job. Anon 2008-02-21 id # 7243 Awesome chapter. Please continue to update. Can't wait for more. Lost 2008-02-22 id # 7246 You know a story is good if you can read it twice in one week and still be amused by it, and that's exactly what I did. *Big hug* You rock my socks off, keep it up! - L. Rin 2008-02-23 id # 7248 After a week chock full of extra-homeworky goodness and one drunken stupor, I finally get through these two installments, and I gotta say...I love taking it slow because it makes it feel like the story is that much longer, that I can stay immersed that much more. Still loving this story, as per the norm. Great show with the two chapter update!! It's like...something really super great bundled on top of something really super awesome!!! YAY! Valyssia 2008-02-23 id # 7249 "That's the power of good angst: no matter how much you want to put it down, you can't." Umm...wow, Chris, that's some tall flattery. Don't stress. I promise, Val will make it all better. Thank you all for the kind words. Val Shadowcub 2008-02-25 id # 7257 Less angst, more loving. Anon 2008-02-27 id # 7261 Excellent chapter. Can't wait for more. Rin 2008-02-27 id # 7264 Interesting...I'm curious to see how these adventures play out, and what the results will be! Lost 2008-02-27 id # 7266 Mwhahaha (*evil laugh of doomity doom*), I got added to the fankies! *does happy dance* As per usual you've written another excellent chapter. You drink entirely too much tea, hehehehe. *hug* But you must keep writing, because, well, someone has to entertain me, haha. In all seriousness though, keep up the great work. - L. Anon 2008-03-02 id # 7272 Awesome story! Cuprit 2008-03-02 id # 7273 Wow can't wait to see what happen w/ Faith in the mysterious bright light. Good Job. Whedonist 2008-03-05 id # 7282 I keep forgetting to place these characters in a frame of reference for time. I forget that this is Season 3 Scooby Gang, and more importantly, that Buffy is Season 3 Buffy. This was the season that I noticed a definite shift in the way the character deals and handles her friends and the world around her. To compound her issues, she's a cripple and wears a colostomy bag. *raises eyebrow* In having to remember all of this while reading the snippets and the chapters in their entirety, I just needed to say that Buffy's characterization is well thought out and nicely written. Willow's is as well; the way you oscillate between self assuredness and insecurity with her character is brilliant. W Valyssia 2008-03-05 id # 7283 "To compound her issues, she's a cripple and wears a colostomy bag. *raises eyebrow*" Hit the brakes. No colostomy bag. That's would be the wrong thing. The thing that's making her so wigsome is a standard urinary catheter. The sort of thing that many of us have had to wear post surgery. It just sort of stayed in because she lacked the muscle control to handle that bodily function. I totally avoided the issue of paralysis and how she would have to deal with that second biological function because it simply would've been too distasteful for an presumably 'R' rated story. We'll leave that a mystery. It can stay one. The catheter would be a constant reminder of just how bad the bad was. For Buffy...well, for most of us, almost impossible to deal with. Thanks for the kudos on the characterization stuff. Much appreciated. Val Rin 2008-03-05 id # 7284 This is my favorite Wednesday activity (aside from comic books!), getting to read your updates on this story! Whedonist 2008-03-06 id # 7287 AHHHH....okee dokee start the engine again. W Lost 2008-03-07 id # 7288 Okay, so, I got bored today at work, as per usual, and I decided that I would read this chapter. Again. And it was still brilliant. Good job- L. Rin 2008-03-12 id # 7304 I love how you've put Buffy in that 'I don't really want Willow but I do' mentality...makes the story more enjoyable for some reason. Also, I wasn't sure where you were going with the Faith/Angel thing...but now that it's coming along, I find I enjoy it more, too. It's different, and I'm always up for different! Cuprit 2008-03-13 id # 7305 Yo what are they doing to Faith, it's crazy disturbing. Well I'm glad she is finally kicking ass. Also, Buffy and Willow are thinking too much, they just need to get together. Good Job Lost 2008-03-13 id # 7318 I love the imagery in the first Faith scene. It still gives me chills. *two thumbs up* Good job, oh and by the way, nice clothes for the goth club scene ;D -L. Ahn 2008-03-13 id # 7319 What can I say this story is great. Everybody is true to charecter. I don't know how your going to get Faith and Angel out of the trouble there in. I love what your doing with this story, keep up the great work! Ahn Lost 2008-03-19 id # 7350 Hehehe, marshmellowy goodness. Yay! :D -L. Rin 2008-03-19 id # 7357 I say this every time but it's true: I adore how you're slowly building the relationship. I also like how you pulled in the other characters, too, even the creepy guy they're chasing. As per the norm, this is a highlight of Wednesdays!! Anon 2008-03-26 id # 7382 Hoooooleeee shit! First you create a very cool (and utterly terrifying) original world, then you do such... things to two of my least favourite characters that I actually start to care about them, THEN you throw a cliffhanger like that at us! This story is consitently surprising, disturbing and moving, with it's fair share of humour and cuteness thrown in. The flower buying scene in the last chapter, for example, was wonderfully cute. Then you go do the kidnapping shit on our girls and ruin it :P. Please keep updating this story. A new chaper is always a high point in my day :) -Chris- Rin 2008-03-26 id # 7383 Somehow, I get the feeling that I'm going to cry very soon in this story. I don't tell you enough how much I love these updates...and how much I am saddened when I'm done reading them, craving more. Always the highlight of my Wednesdays, as per the norm! Scott sccraner@gmail.com 2008-03-26 id # 7384 Just wanted to let you know I'm starting to read your story. What I've read so far is great. I hope you have the time to keep writing. When I have time I will also work on reading your story related to the Season 8 comic (I have forgotten the name). Please keep up the wonderful writing.

You've gone and pulled a Mad Hamlet on us! I could see it coming... I knew where it was leading, heartbreakingly so, and I still couldn't stop myself. Like I've said before: that's the power of good angst. This has, hands down, been one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read, so you are to be congratualted on that score. As for being so mean to our heroines? Shame on you! I always react this way when something particularly unfair happens to Willow in a story (she's my favourite character, after all). The problem is, if the story is as good as this, I'll always keep reading. Guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. I'm looking forward to reading what you're going to offer us next. -Chris- Rin 2008-04-08 id # 7444 That was the perfect ending to this story. It was so...beautiful... Valyssia Valyssia@gmail.com 2008-04-08 id # 7445 "Oh, thank all deities!!!" Funny, I managed to crack the apathy for about 3.2 seconds with a stupid prank. Now that I'm back to giving you story... Same ole, same ole... My impression: this community is horrible. If this--all this--was for you...I'd be gone. "Oh I loved that spin on the whole jumping Buffy dying scene!!Those new super powers really come in handy." Everything wonderful--anything you think is the most amazing thing ever--has a price. "This has, hands down, been one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read, so you are to be congratulated on that score." Thank you. "I always react this way when something particularly unfair happens to Willow in a story." That's life. Is it really unfair to give two beloved characters twenty years of happiness together? It's far kinder that Joss or Marti ever were, or Joss ever will be. Think about it. That particular little bit of 'unfair' was personal. Viral encephalitis is how my mother died. She had twenty-five years and no love that stuck. In the end she died alone in some hospital bed. I was kind to Willow. "That was the perfect ending to this story. It was so...beautiful..." Are you certain that's the end? Val Sousa 2008-04-08 id # 7446 Wow,that was a crazy twist O.O;if this is the true end I really enjoyed this story and I hope you write again! Rin 2008-04-08 id # 7448 I know, I know...it might not be the ending...but it's beautiful as it stands, and I always want more story!! Take it as a HUGE compliment from me that I want you to end it there. LOL. Anon 2008-04-09 id # 7451 My apologies. It seemed like that would be the place to end it. I'm sorry about your mother, but glad of you. You must be one of the best writers in the fandom, for any pairing. And yes, 20 years together is more than most get. We should all be as lucky as you allow the characters to be. The final part was very cute, I have to say. -Chris- Didge didge4@btinternet.com 2008-04-09 id # 7452 What have you done? You write the best story finish since Buffy took a swan dive at the end of season 5 and then add this "cute" coda. What possessed you to take this great angsty story and mar it with this unnecessary final chapter? Are Buffy and Willow in Heaven or is this just Buffy's idea of Heaven? Either way it seems inappropriate to let a murderer (euthanasia could be considered murder) and suicide sample even a taste of Heaven. (Unless you have another chapter coming in which the rug is pulled out from under Buffy?) Well I suppose I'll have to follow Willow's example and turn off "Moulin Rouge" before the end so that I get the ending I prefer. Dirk Valyssia Valyssia@gmail.com 2008-04-09 id # 7453 "What possessed you to take this great angsty story and mar it with this unnecessary final chapter?" Like with everything else I write the possession came in the form of a bath. I was lying in the tub with my head underwater and poof. Though sometimes, when it's warmer, the possession comes while I'm gearing down into a great right hand corner, it usually hits my just as I begin to countersteer and slide my body over in the seat. Too cold, though. This time it was the bath that did it. "Are Buffy and Willow in Heaven or is this just Buffy's idea of Heaven?" And that's the real bite isn't it? I never say. Is it a dream—Buffy's last dream, or is it an eternity? I'll leave that to the reader to decide. "Either way it seems inappropriate to let a murderer (euthanasia could be considered murder) and suicide sample even a taste of Heaven. (Unless you have another chapter coming in which the rug is pulled out from under Buffy?)" *rolls eyes* And where does Buffy go when she takes this dramatic swan dive in season five? Last I checked, diving off a tower like that: totally suicide. She ended her own existence. That by definition is suicide. It doesn't matter how noble you are. It's still self-termination. I'm not going to argue that fine points of moral/ religious interpretation with anyone. Nor will I give this idea any further consideration. It is food for thought. "Well I suppose I'll have to follow Willow's example and turn off "Moulin Rouge" before the end so that I get the ending I prefer." You are most welcome to do that. I don't really care. It was good of you to bring your opinion to the table. You are one of the only people to have challenged me over anything. I appreciate it. From an artistic standpoint I wrote the ending—that final piece—because it gave the Epilogue symmetry overall. There's a dark, light, dark, light, rhythm. I didn't have this part planned when I first designed the Epilogue. I was going to end it at the twenty year mark, but when I finished that this seed just came to me. It struck me that the one time Willow and Buffy were on the same footing they were at the twenty-year mark was in 'Hellmouth.' I had this lovely little snake delusion at the beginning of the story that was flavored by 'Hellmouth.' Another instance adds more symmetry. Plus it gives you another example of this piece of canon being employed without being mimicked. Hellmouth has been done to death in this fandom. Here's something fresh. Howard pointed out to me that this short scene is very much influenced by 'What Dreams May Come.' Funny thing: I never once thought about the movie. I just wrote what felt right. I remembered the lunch scene from their senior year, Willow not wanting to leave school. Another act of trust was born and the rest just sort of flowed. If you hate it, don't read it.

Your writing is *so* powerful; it takes me places emotionally that are sometimes gut-wrenching painful but always worthwhile. Rin 2008-04-09 id # 7456 *tear tear* Still beautiful...after all these years. And complete side note?? Alyson Hannigan is aging really well. She still looks like that 15 year old girl she played at 24. LOL. annon 2008-04-17 id # 7483 good story not enough sex jrayne jraa@hotmail.com 2008-04-17 id # 7485 HUH? Kara hpforever500@yahoo.com 2008-04-19 id # 7489 I really liked the buffy/willow relationship in this story it was something I didn't expect yet you made it a possible. You write really well for Willow and I can't wait to read more fanfics by you.***********************Kara Ahn 2008-04-28 id # 7541 Sorry for how long it took me to read this. It's great! Or maybe I should just say WOW! You gave the story closure and did a good job doing it. Thank you for the great story.
