I like having Drusilla back. I enjoy having her nutty dialogue. And I agree with Faith, about her hair, "not in this life time."
And Drusilla's "Baby Brother" nickname, that's logical, really logical.
Author's Response: Drusilla is ALWAYS fun. I have a formula for how often I use her. Just kidding. But I love her and love having her around. Hot, crazy, and yeah, a little incestuous. |

Dru? *happy dance* I love the fact that you brought her into this story line. It should add an interesting dynamic within the group.The banter between the four of them is done so beautifully. The action sequences are so fluid. I love the currency the vampires are playing poker with. Nice touch. And Dru is written perfectly with imagery and symbolism in every word she utters. I love the Connor's snarky comments during the Vamp fight. Great work!
Author's Response: Thanks as always for the review. I love Dru, too! But I brought her in for a reason and she has a specific goal. I think too many write her as being completely crazy, but I wanted to have those touches of truth that Dru always had in her ravings. Thanks for your comments on the banter. I really want Faith, Spike, Connor, and Dawn to have the same kind of dynamic the scoobie gang did. I also appreciate your comments on the action sequences. I really love writing those. Thanks so much for the review! |

Stalkers: Again with the multiple meanings. Everyone in this story is stalking someone. Faith's line about being in prison/ kissing like a girl- totally hysterical. Dana stalks Dru while Dru stalks Connor and the gang stalks Dana. Then, we get that nice surprise at the end; more stalkers. Also, you're writing of Dru is fantastic. Too many people write her as straight up loony toons. You manage to put a meaning to her rambling. The wood chairs seemed a cheap plot device, but the shows had just as many, so I'll let you go on that one. But the fight scene banter was great! And again, what a way to end it! I'm off to read the next one because, god damn you, I HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I too thought the wooden chairs were cheap, but I needed to get him a weapon. Thanks for your comments on Dru and the banter. Makes me very happy. One note not related to your review: the line "The real son cannot shine through them." I did mean to say "son" (As in Angel's son) not "sun". |

Wood chairs? I always wondered why vampires even had them around. Not very smart. The fight banter between Spike/Buffy/Faith is really good. I'm not sure why exactly Dru is there. Did she sense something? Did someone call her there? Did you just throw her in to be a thorn in the gang's side? She's always a good thorn. And she sees all, which is always good.
Author's Response: Dru is there for a very specific reason, as will be shown in future episodes. |

I have always considered Dru the hardest character to write. And I have seen many fail at it. You are not one of them. This could easily be the best Dru writing I've seen. I especially enjoyed this line: “I see, now. She’s not a doll at all. She’s a toy soldier. Boys like toys such as you. Is that why my boy seeks you?” Absolutely wonderful. Oh, and I am once again, anxiously awaiting the next chapter…"Where is the father!" has to be you're best cliffhanger ending yet.
Author's Response: I agree writing Dru can be difficult. Most people write her as flat out crazy. Even on the show, Spike, who knows her better than anyone, says she's crazy. But Dru isn't detached from reality. She simply perceives it differently than everyone around her. While some people look at an object and see its shape or size, she sees its history and its purpose. Others see a person's physical attributes; their hair color, eye color, the appearance of their face. She sees their history, their purpose, and their emotional state. Thanks again for the review. |
