I'm feeling insecure tonight, and hoping I haven't offended, so I wanted to come back and make a disclaimer. I'm Very new to fanfic, and had never, before this board, imagined anyone writing something using someone else's character(s). I remember being startled and a little weirded out by someone finishing the unfinished Bronte novel (I've forgotten the name). For fanfic, I think I'm most in awe of good writers who can get the individual characters' voices down correctly. I don't think I could do that, though I'm beginning to feel like a crap writer with a bent for mary-sue, anyway, in comparison to some of the things I've read. The disclaimer: Since I can't hear voice well unless someone writes something that really resonates, I wasn't sure if that was a Willow voice or not. I wasn't saying it wasn't. Mostly, I was wondering about the use of the word "God" since I couldn't, and still can't, recall a particular Willow-diety-usage. Goddess doesn't ring any bells either. I still very much enjoyed it and was glad I got to read it.

Deena, don't be silly. This is why things get posted, so people can give opinions and praise and criticism and advice.

That being said, I'd like you to read my stuff and tell me what you think.

Elena, I'd be honored. E-mail (profile) or link is good for me.

Though I'm getting a not responding when I click.

Elena - it works fine for me and is now bookmarked. Assuming I don't go have a baby tomorrow, I'll read it soonest. If I do, then I'll read it after I get home.

Assuming I don't go have a baby tomorrow,

This is the best. excuse. ever.

I don't think so... If she gets a laptop in the labour room I expect her to read the fic and send immediate feedback.

They have Rules. No food, drink or electronic equipment. Bastards!

Bastards indeed. I was looking for comments such as 'Spike's pain over Buffy's death was not unlike the pain of pushing a nine-pound baby through your cervix SOMEONE GET ME SOME FUCKING MORPHINE!!!'
