'Twas a long time in waiting but I thoroughly enjoyed this new
installment!!! Adrian Paul as the evil immortal, sweet!!
[Producer's note: Thanks for your feedback Sylvie...and yeah...making
Adrian Paul of dubious character is somehow very satisfying!!!!
Some future stories are planned for him, but we need to finish this
seasons arc first.
Alllie really liked Valentino for the Immortal and in the classic
sense he would have been perfect, but the graphics were limited
so we made a sound choice with Paul, and apparently everyone seems
to like it.
Hope you will keep reading and be patient, as it is taking us
quite awhile to get each episode done, but we will keep plugging
away at it...Ok?
Thanks again. Kathy H]

Spike: Soul
Survivor - The Series |
By the way I am still
enjoying it and I was surprised when Illyria turned up in Texas, but
then again after reading so much of it I shouldn't really be surprised
anymore, but now I'm starting to wonder what else is in store for
the gang especially Spike. Well at least he's staying true to Buffy
(so far), but all the compliments he's getting could turn his head,
they would with most ordinary men, but then again Spike is no ordinary
man is he. I hope he stays loyal to Buffy now she's told him how she
really feels about him. |

Hey, I've been reading
through the series and I havta say you guys are doing an awesome job!
Very well written, and great spike characterizations. Also, great
job introducing new, interesting characters and a solid and thoroughly
entertaining plot. Thanks! now I'm on to read more of this excellent
series!! Can't wait to see what you have in store next!
[Producer's Note: Thank you for the compliments. Sometimes we 'bend'
the canon a bit to make the story flow...but we do try to be true
to Spike at least as much as we can. He's just so fascinating. He
has so many layers to his personality and I think we want to explore
them all. This has been a lot of work for us, as we are limited in
members now due to some real life issues that smacked us in the face...but
we are still trying to get the episodes done and posted as quickly
as we can.
Please DO stay with us and I hope you will continue to enjoy the story.]

love new installment
a lot. Much time has passed (and one of your cast members became an
Oscar winner) and I thought this WIP will never be updated - but you
go on, and it's great!
Interesting idea about Spike's transformation into a white wolf.
The battle between Scoobies and Dracula's minions and subsequent
battle between Drac and Spike are inventive and graphic. I know
how difficult it is to describe action scenes because action is
to be seen not read about. But here you succeed to make the scenes
interesting and captivating.
The mention of Buffy is a very nice touch. It's great that you
keep her unseen presence in Buffy-less episodes. Thank you. My inner
Spuffy is happy. :)
I also want to thank the designers who did wonderful job with illustrations.

Spike: Soul
Survivor - The Series |
I was so excited when I got the email that this story had been
updated. This was another brilliant chapter in this story. Keep
up the good work. Eagerly awaiting the teams arrival in New Orleans
and can't wait to see what Dru's presence will stir up.
[Producers note: Thanks so much for checking out the episode.
The Dracula episode was a lot of fun and we hope New Orleans will
be a little diversion. Dru however is really only in flashbacks
at this point, but will figure more into future developements. Hope
you will stick with us though and be patient. I know it's taking
a long time to get the episodes done, but we do our best.]

I don't like Fanfic but the first impression is very good! |

I can't leave feedback
for some reason on your site. So I hope you don't mind my comments
put on here.
Soul Survivor is an amazing fic, so well written and the graphics
are kool. I've been reading this since it was started and it will
be a shame when it ends. Eagerly awaiting the next installment. |

I'd like to say though
I agree with HC, and I also love how you bring all the characters
into it and don't take away anything from Spike's story.
It is a true saga.

It's nice to have Virtual Spike back, and I mentioned the story
in Marsters Mobsters too. I loved your reference for the Immortal,
just who I had in mind too.
I did like the Dracula connection, with him turning into a black
wolf and and Spike turning into a white wolf, but I am more of a
cat lady myself, though I do like dogs. We have 5 cats, and I kinda
see Spike as a white panther myself, cats are reputed to be the
deadliest killers of all, yet I think they're so elegant and graceful.
I'm not one for commenting on the literary style, I did enough
of that for A level English Literature thank you very much. (That's
the English exams before college/university.)
I do love the ways that you've developed the Scoobies characters,
and the stories always seem true to the canon."
Live Long and Prosper
[Producers notes: Carol...thank you again for the comments. It
is frustrating that we can not get the feedback to work for everyone,
but Alllie is doing her best to make sure we get the input from
the readers.
As for the wolf connection...we kinda saw Spike as a lone wolf
in a way, but a very noble creature looking for acceptance so the
wolf was somehow calling to us, even though I have often seen Spike
referred to as a sexy wild cat like he was in the panther crawl...growlllll!!!
I hope you will continue to stick with us. We have 2 more episodes
and an epilogue to finish. It may take us 'forever' but we are die
hards and we will do it...Ok? Thanks again for your feedback and
continued support!]

Just finished reading
it. Thank you so much, it was great fun, and loved the wolf impersonation.
And yes, Spike would make a beautiful white wolf. The art work was
stunning, also. Now, did you have to cast such a good-looking Immortal?
Congratulations to all.
[Thanks for your encouragement!! We are so glad you liked it!!
As for The Immortal, I tried to get them to cast Valentino...but
Adrian Paul won out.
Thanks again,
Alllie]

Brilliant fight scenes..Spike as a wolf. Beautifully imagery through
out and you just leave me wanting more. So Glad to see you post
again. Excellent Story.
[Producers notes: Thanks for the feedback Dar. We thought Spike
as a wolf would be cool and definitely add an edge to the fights
and the pictures. Spike DOES make a very sexy beast!!!!!!

Great to see this series
back, I'm really enjoying it. So many good Buffy stories have been
abandoned lately, so its good to hear you will be continuing with
this.
[Producers notes: Thank you Laura...glad to hear you are enjoying
this series, and yes...we agree that a lot of Buffy stories are quickly
disappearing, so we wanted to try and offer the readers something
special to honor Spike. Please stick with us. Kathy H ] |

I hope you guys get this. Anyway, another lovingly done chapter
well thought out and presented. The Spike/Wolf deal made sense with
the Dracula stuff, since he can turn into one too. The artwork was
great as usual.
I know you all work so hard on this and it is appreciated. It is
so unbelievably well done. I wish I could help you out (I could
probably beta but I'm not that talented with the computer). Just
keep it up and we'll catch you next chapter (I look forward to learning
about New Orleans! - haven't been there!)
[Producers notes: Sea Pea...thanks for your feedback. I'm glad
you enjoyed the Spike/Wolf stuff as it made for some pretty cool
fights and some awesome artwork. The graphics folks are incredibly
talented. Thanks for understanding how hard we have to work to get
this together and for being patient with us. If you ever DO want
to try your hand at beta work...let us know. We can always use the
help. Again...thanks for your feedback and support and join us for
New Orleans. In the meantime please tell your friends to give us
a look. Kathy H]

First off, Adrian
Paul as the Immortal?! Priceless! LOL....I remember a few people
suggesting it back when The
Girl In Question was coming up, and people were hoping we
might see the Immortal in the episode.
Trouble with Dru, a Vengeance Demon...I'm thinking maybe Cecily?
And ghosts....hmmm...
I was so thrilled to see an update email today! I check every day
to see if you guys might have updated. It really has been a bummer
that so much has gotten in the way of your original schedule.
Great Part 2...Spike really went through
a lot! I wasn't surprised that Haley fell under the thrall. Watchers
really seem to have a problem with that, LOL. Mean's coming into
her own...growing up as the trip proceeds. Xander's quips make me
laugh. Poor Spike was really the butt of a joke lately. The deal
with the horse - I can so see him going through that very thing.
Very glad Elizabeth is dead. Very glad that Victor is gone, too,
the whiner. Too much of a coward for eternal life. I was hoping
they'd finally get the better of Drac and end him for good, but
he had to fly away...poncey bugger.
Marcus sounds evil to me. How did Buffy not figure that out?
I hope it won't be as long to the next episode, guys! Love what
you do.
[Producers notes : Hey Kim...I am so glad you continue to stick
with us...it has been a long, hard road this year, but at least
we got this episode finished. Now to keep moving. Please be patient
though...it takes us a lot longer than we hoped to get these stories
and graphics done. We are trying our best though.
Anyway.....glad you liked the Immortal...we had some other choices
we were kicking around for him, but he seems to fit well and Alllie's
pictures are awesome. He is a shifty character and yeah...you would
think Buffy could see that...but hey...he is charming and all. He's
not Spike...but he is handsome.
Glad you enjoyed the rest of the episode and trust me...the
horse stuff we put Spike through...I know first hand...so we thought
it would be funny to show the perils of not so 'prudent' Spike.
He kinda went off half cocked as far as Drac was concerned. A bit
of a 'macho' thing I guess.
As for Eliz and Victor...yeah...they got what they deserved,
but Drac we figured was such an icon...it was hard to kill him off
for good. After putting up with Elizabeth we actually felt sorry
for him, but I doubt he will trouble Spike again.
As for the next episode, there are several things going on and
a few things we simply set up at the end of this one HOD part 2,
as 'foreboding' for the future ...but lets not spill anything just
yet...... We have an appointed arc to finish for this season first.

OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! how bloody brilliant was this ep?!?! well
worth the wait.
Spike kicking butt, Spike becoming a wolf, I never saw that one
coming. I love the way Xander got his own back kinda for the 'buttmonkeyness',
what a great word btw!
Can't wait for the next one.
Slay
Ya
[Producers notes: Wow Tanya...I think you really did like the
wolf stuff, and I'm glad because we were hoping it would go over
well. I am a little partial to wolves myself I think, and we didn't
want Drac to show up Spike! Right??? Thank you so much for reading
the episode and obviously enjoying it so much. It was good to see
Spike kick some butt and also Xander get some gumption back. "Buttmonkeyness'
IS a great word isn't it, we can thank Virginia for that gem!!!
Hope you will stick with us. It will take us time to get these
episodes out but we will persevere...OK?

Against Your
Will |
I've just finished reading the end of Against
Your Will and I know I haven't sent any feedback to you
since I started reading Soul Survivor, but I do tend to read quite
a bit before I feel capable of giving a decent review, so here goes.
Soul Survivor is full of suspense, well-loved characters, new characters,
sadness, love and apprehension. I can't wait to move on to the next
chapter.
It must be good because it managed to make me put down the book
I was reading, which was Angels
and Demons by Dan Brown.
The picture of the gorgeous one (Spike) really help the plot and
how much would I love to be in that Viper with him on some desert
highway on the run from the Senior Partners.
Write some more about Spike if that's possible, but I haven't got
to the end yet so it might not be but I hope he's okay.
[Producers notes: Thanks Gloria. I'm really glad you are enjoying
the series and we appreciate any feedback we can get. It keeps us
going and inspires us to do better. If we made you put down a book
by the author of the DaVinci
Code...wow...I don't know what to say to that...but thanks for
doing so. I hope you will continue to enjoy the series and just
be patient with us as it does take us a lot of time to put each
episode together. Just keep reading and we'll be grateful!!!
