Of Flames and Feedback
This section is dedicated to the people who were kind enough to feedback me on my site and stories.  I thought a little acknowledgement was in order.  Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback, you hold a special place in my heart, and now...on my site!  I'll be posting flames as soon as I get them, (And all my friends assure me, I will...the bastards...)  But thanks to all of my feedback buddies, and I hope to hear from you all and new ones soon!  Love you all, Ripe Wicked Plum.

I finally got a chance to check out your site and I have to tell you how much I love it.  I don't watch Buffy that often, but I will definitely check back at your site often. Your  fanfic is sensational, arousing, intriguing, and any other adj. you could think of. I especially like your likes and dislikes. A little abnormal. But who am I to talk, I have a ficsation with Dawson's Creek. Your pictures of Spike are exceptionally scrumptious.
     Anyway, great job with your site and I will definitely be coming back often.

Author's Note:  Mellow up there is a friend of mine from school, and she's so nice to me, isn't she folks?  What she says about the Dawson stuff is right.  I think she's a beta-reader for, like, three different people or something.  Thanks Meg!  -RWP-

Author's Note:  This is my friend Kaz in the UK.  I met her in a chatroom one late, late night.  Excitable, isn't she?  She's pretty cool and helped inspire me in the looonngg development of my Erin-Spike stories.  (Seriously.  I rewrote that thing twenty different times, with several different beginnings.  Maybe one day, I'll post them just so you can see how my crazy creative process works.  Thanks Kaz, you're my inspiration.  Even if the enter and shift keys on your keyboard doens't work.  ;-)  -RWP-

 Tiger Eyes Series:
Oh, series please! It was great and I'm hoping for more. It definitely needs a companion. It told me. It's very lonely. You should be ashamed of yourself, allowing the poor Fic to suffer so.
Christy
This is the same Christy who wrote Earning Eternity on my Other Authors page.  This is the very, very, very first feedback I have ever gotten, and inspired me to write a two sequels to my Tiger Eyes series.  Thanks Chris, for your support!  -RWP-

 Watcher Series:
Enjoying this series very much. I like the idea of Spike as a Watcher. Nice to see him using a plan as well. A completely impulsive Spike would have been a dead Spike a long time ago. Thank you for writing.
Cynthia
That was great! Thank you. I really like this couple.
Cynthia
I am still enjoying the Watcher series. Spike as dad, hmmm. I'm really enjoying the interplay between Giles and Spike.  
Cynthia

That last section "and the Heavens Wept" was sad and very, very grim. It was, of course, well written but Erin has a much greater capacity for forgiveness then I would in her situation. I'm beginning to side with Giles, Spike (not William) needs smacking. :) Okay, 'nuff said. Here's hoping love wins out. Please write more.
Cynthia

Author's Note:  I'm starting to suspect she's the only one reading this series.  Thanks, Cynthia.  This is my pet project.  You should see the stories I came up with before -RWP-
Okay, still alive for several days on the cross!!! arrrgh! I hope this is leading up to ole Spike/William making a big and grand gesture, although it was cool of him to tell the Devil to get lost. I have a questions though, if he's always a vampire and she's always a slayer are we gonna find out where he goes in between times? She seems to go to at least a part of heaven? Does he go to a part of hell and has he ever had a soul? This is a neat development, awaiting more.
Cynthia

Okay, I'm warming up to him again. He's male, I'll give him some idiot
leeway. Bummer about the baby though. Right now it all looks like it'll end
in tears but I'm still pulling for true love.
Liked Dragula too. Another story would not be amiss. Thanks.
Cynthia


 The Stand
OMG!!!! I just read your Buffy/The Stand Crossover and all I can say is WOW. I was crying almost through the whole thing. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write more soon. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and of Buffy but I had never thought about doing a crossover. It is absolutely amazing! If it's not too much trouble could you e-mail me next time you update it? OK thanks Bye!
Rachel
Author's Note:  So far, this is the only feedback I got on my Stand series.  I'm feel a little like crying myself.  I wrote an angsty fic and didn't even know it!  Thanks, Rachel, I'm working on part three right now.

 Sister Dearest
my god ur stories well that one called sister dearest had me in
tears!!! ive never read such a good story that made me cry,ur really good at it!
how do u do it? ive tried to make up my own but its so damn hard,anyway i'll
keep checking up on ur website for more new stories ok bye bye for now and email
me soon ok.
Kaz

Thanks, like the newsletter and enjoyed Sister Dearest. We don't see enough
of Spike's car. I can see him going without blood and cigs to take care of
it. Thanks again.
Cynthia
I am soo surprised my friend Kaz cried!  I didn't even know it was a sad fic!  Guess since I'm the writer, I'm harderned or something weird like that...oh well...and yes, Spike's car is the best, and it should be worshipped thoroughly!!!!  (He he...I found a model kit for a DeSota...now I just have to stop sniffing the glue and build it.)
 Dragula

I just finished reading "Dragula", and all I can say is  WOW!  This would
make a great series if the mood strikes you.  I can't wait for more.  Keep
it coming!  
Amy

I think this would make a very interesting series, if you choose to do so. I'd love to see where you take it. I'm also eagerly awaiting the next installment of Origins, especially in light of where the new ep took Joss' story arc tonight.
Cori
Actually, I kind of thought this one sucked, but apparently some people liked it.  It's defintiatly a PWP, I think, so it's my first one!  Yay me!  I am probably going to continue it in a short series.  Not like my three huge ones I'm working on right now.  (AAHHH!) RWP

WARNING! SPOILERS FOR SEASON FIVE!!!
 The Origins Series
Hi!
You don't know me...I just finished reading your story Cocoa and Compromises, and I really, really liked it. I am a relatively recent (I started watching last spring) but major, major Buffy fan--more specifically, a Spike fan. The past several episodes have been very distressing, though.  I've felt ever since I started watching that Spike and Buffy would be an ideal couple, but it seems as though the writers are toying with those of us who think that this season, purposely depicting Spike badly! And the robot was, in my opinion, the final nail in the coffin...
    Suffice to say, I have been watching with an increasing sense of despair, which was countered by your fanfic. It made me feel immeasurablybetter. I'm beginning to think that Dawn is one of the only possible things that could reconcile Spike and Buffy...and is it absolutely horrible to say that Joyce's death is a perfect opportunity for Spike to show how wonderful and sweet I'm sure he can be? (not that I'm glad that Joyce died. It's just that this cloud definitely has a silver lining).
    I suppose that was sort of a long mail just to say 'I really liked your story,' but I really don't have any major Spike fans to gush to among my friends.
    Also, I was wondering if it would be too much trouble to ask whether I could be alerted when more is added to this story...I would very much like to see it continued.
Thank you for a great fanfic website!
Elzbeth
Author's Note:  You have no idea how I felt when I got this email.  It made me feel validated, like my carpal tunnel syndrome was for a reason.  Thanks Elzbeth!  You have no idea how this made my otherwise lousy day.
Congrats!
Needy was even better than Cocoa and Compromises! The brief moment when Buffy was taking the splinter's out of Spike was perfect...quite wonderful. I'm enjoying this series a great deal...keep them coming! (and would it be too much to ask to be alerted when you update again I read Wind Beneath my Wings--cute--but next time there's a story after that)
-elzbeth

I Loved It! Wow! You wrote exactly what I was thinking after I watched "The Body". I hope I'll see more soon.  
Leigh
I love it when people tell me I captured what they were thinking.  As am I hoping to one day be a writer, (Outside of Buffy stuff, I've written three novels, sixteen short stories, and an odd assortment of poems,) I need to have a feel for the people, and sometimes I feel like I'm way too odd to accomplish that.  Thanks Leigh, Erin and Amanda.
Hi! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your "Cocoa and Compromises" series. If you decide to write more on it, please let me know. Thank you for a great story to read!---Erin

I loved your "Origins" series! Please continue quickly and let me know when you update. Thanks!
-amanda
Author's Note:  This is one of my most popular series, if I judge by feedback.  Thanks to everyone who stoked the fires of my ego!  I'm hoping to get some flames soon to add to this page.  (OMG...I'm actually craving flames.  I'm sooo sad.)
That was great!! Thanks so much for sharing it!!!  *grin*
Jessi

Just re-read the Origins Series...any chance at a 5th
episode soon??? (Please, please, please)!

Lee

I absolutely loved your stories "Cocoa and Compromises" "..." I would
like to read more and see what happens next.

Rowan

 am loving this series!!  :-)  Can't wait to read the next installment!!  :-)  Great job!!
Jessi

Another great one!!  He he he!!  *giggle*
Jessi

You are my new favorite author.  This series is so cool, and the
descriptions and dialogue are outstanding.  I laughed a lot and enjoyed it
very much.  I can't wait to read the next part.

Dontia

I can't breathe. Oh god, that was........ okay, I can't speak either. I love
it. I loved all of it, but this last plot twist struck me to the core.
Oh god, please more soon. I'm on someone else's computer and my times almost
up. I can check my email about once a week. I was wondering if you had an
update list? I don't have time to look for it now. I've been to your site
several times and have always liked your stuff. If you have a list could you
let me know so that I could sign up for it? Like I said, I only get to surf
on borrowed time and it would make it so much easier.
Reguardless, GREAT FIC. Please MORE NOW!!!
(and sailor language if of the good!)
becca ruth

Aaa!!!

Wow with the shattering plot twists....I mean, this is better than Spike
getting killed, but...you will find a way to cure him, right? Right? Pretty
please with a cherry on top? :)

Despite being utterly crushed by the ending, I /really/ love the way the
series is going...fanfic at its best!  You made my day!!

-elzbeth  

Oh Rapture!!!!!! It was great!!! Just made my day!

Lee

I love the Origins series btw. And Tiger Eyes was great too!  Keep writing.

Cori
Author's note:  No kidding, by far, I am surprised by the popularity of this fic series!!!  I feel so...wow.  Everytime I open up my mailbox, I'm diluged with praise for this thing...good god, people, you don't know how warm and fuzzy this makes me feel!  Once again, thank you all for writing and letting me know what you think!  As always, I love it and appreciate all of it, and seek to try and make this site more enjoyable for all of you.  Thanks!  (sniffle) Ripe Wicked Plum
