You write Faith so awesomely. I love her! I didn't watch much of the show so I don't know which parts are canon but I love the way Faith backed Buffy. Thank you!
Author's Response:It's always surprising to me when people love the fic but haven't watched the whole show! What drew you to the ship? Glad you liked this one!
I finally decided to create an account :)! How nice it is to finally be able to comment without having to write my pen name and no-spammer code over and over! Who knew life could be so uncomplicated :'0?
I can finally put stories in my favorites and get rid of all these bookmarks on my browsers lol
I think with this story I have finished all your Fuffy stories :'0! But I'm still so unsatisfied, I need more of my Fuffy fanfix (<-- :D * eyebrow wiggle*)! I'm such a fanfic ho when it comes to my OTPs ha ha ha ha! I consume way faster than the poor writers can write ha ha.
Also, I wanted to throw out there Fuffy fanfic authors whose stories I totally loved! Although you probably already know them having been in the fandom longer than me. But these are the authors that I feel really have a good grasp on both pacing, plot, storytelling, and characterization for the Fuffy pairing!
Redcheekdays (ao3)
Tigerdragon (ao3)
beer_good (ao3)
aliceinwonderbra (the chosen two) Yeaaaa youuuu :3
fembuck (ao3)
erinya (ao3)
SharpestRose (ao3)
zulu (ao3) <--- this person is AMAZING. I loved EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR FICS. I wish they were still writing. Such a gem of an author. I think they moved on to other fanfics. I appreciate the stories they left behind for us (T^T)
Imrryr (ao3)
impertience (ao3)
me_llamo_nic (ao3) <-- prob the best dollhouse and buffy crossover I've read; I love the authors that try and take on this crossover! It's pretty simple to merge the two universes, but creating a good story is always difficult!
Electra (the chosen two) <-- I still have soooo many stories of hers to read through, but so far i'm liking her stuff!! I wish she'd continue "chase the moon" (ToT)
declan4 (the chosen two) <-- also one of my favorites ever
silentlyslaying (the chosen two) <--also my eternal compliments to their work
micktrex (the chosen two) <-- loved his two amazing stories, wish he'd continue!
hellmouthadmin / hellmouthguy (fanfiction . net) <-- this guy did a disappearing act but left behind a fuffy masterpiece (it grew a little weird further into the story but I appreciated the quirks nonetheless! I wish he'd come back)
Bobbi (the chosen two) <-- I think I've read like... 90% of their stories ha ha :'D
There's so much talent in the Fuffy fandom! Both past, current, new, and eventually incoming authors! I remember when I used to write fanfics, I tried to read the best ones out there, so I could learn from the best how to write fanfics that did justice to my OTP :3!
Author's Response:0mni! I just finished chapter 10 of Other Woman and sent it off to Electra to proof. :D You've got a couple people on your list whom I don't know--mostly because I have a beef with ao3 and I only go there for TigerDragon. :p But perhaps I will check out some of these! I know and enjoy beer_good (although I think mostly from wayyyyy back in the day on LJ), Imrryr (and I don't think their fic I was reading was finished, so now I have to go hunt it down and see if it was finished on ao3), silentlyslaying (omg I love her and I wish she'd finish her stuff I was reading), ditto micktrex.
Totally agree on Zulu--they were phenomenal! Electra should really finish Chase the Moon. I'll go kick her and tell her we demand it, but this doesn't usually have much impact. :p If desperate, you could always dig through Wicked & Divine-have you been there? It's been around forever and has some of the very early fuffy fic. There are some gems, but there's also going to be a lot of unfinished stuff and some terrible fic. :p Oralfxatn also has some stuff that probably isn't posted elsewhere. For sure there are more Bobbi stories there than there are here. As for what I've got kicking around, there's a complete series re-write that starts with Faith, Hope and Trick and goes through season 7. I started it in 2012 and last touched it in Jan 2015, lol. Seven chapters done. In July of last year I was fast and furious for a few weeks on an AU (what if they never met Faith) and I have four chapters of that done. Then over in the abandoned fics section we've got one chapter of a story about Buffy getting stuck in her own past, which I wrote in 2010. :DDDD Eh, I still might finish it. I do think both the partially finished long fics are good and different than what I've done before, so I'm trying to get myself to finish them. But first, The Other Woman, haha. Next chapter up hopefully early next week, or maybe over the weekend if Electra has time. :D So you said you're a writer, now I have to ask. You got any fuffy? :)
Ohhh wait, one more rec! Have you done the Damned series by bkitty??
Nice to see Faith lay it out like it is.
Nothing quite says 'i'm on your side' like taking a stand.
I'm glad they have each other.

Author's Response:Thanks, glad you liked it. I hated season seven so writing this fic is like the only good thing from the whole experience. :p
Thanks You for answering my review .could You write another one shot Buffy and faith post empty places ? This episode makes me sad for Buffy , the sacrifice she Is making everyday Is so mesmerizing . To be the slayer means more than agility , strenght , This Is a sacrifice for the world and Buffy did it again again again . Her friends , giles , even dawn don't understand her . Inside her she Is alone and i suppose since she came back , she somehow resented them , she feels betrayed . could You if You decide to write another one shot introduce these feelings ? 3
i read several times the beginning of your story and i hope you will continue writing it because the feelings you make us feel as readers are so powerful and magical , i 'm catching goosebumps everytime !
we can sense buffy sadness of being rejected by her so called friends and sister ( when i think she died for her it makes me sick to see dawn acting like a brat ) anyway buffy will and always will be the chosen one even though they are potentials or future slayers after her , the enemies see buffy as the slayer !!! even caleb said that on the show .
update soon please
until next time
Author's Response:I'm glad you liked it, thank you. :) This is a one shot, so it's already complete. There's no more coming.
