Yep... it really did mean that much. In fact, lookie what I still have saved on my computer...
Dear Litgal, Wow!!! What a ride! And this is your first fic? It's spectacular. The AU is convincing, the characters ring true and you have a plot!!! I have been into Spander for a couple of years now and my main complaint is the growing prevalence of PWPtype drabbles. You actually took the time and made the effort to plan out your story and not have the bois simply fall into bed. I mean the relationship wasn't even consumated until the final chapter. I hope you plan to continue with this AU--I'd like to know what happens when Gunn finds out about Xander's new "position" and will Spike let Xander continue working at Safari and will Cordy tell Willow and what exactly went on in Sunnydale after Xander left. I'm eager to know. I plan to rec this fic as much as I can. Looking forward to more.
