once she's dead--

[dudly_lajoie]

 This is my first AtS fic, and I wrote it a while ago, beta'ed by super awesome mabus101 (I have no idea how to do the linky thing, sorry.) It has been sitting around for a while, and I added a small part at the end, based on a line said-beta gave me. Anyways. Pleaaaase, give me some input?

Very nice! You know, I'd forgotten about this.

I recommend you cross-post it to fic sites--buffy_fanfic, for instance.

[dudly_lajoie]

Thanks! :D You can take some credit for it, too. :)

Uhhh.. Okay. What do I do? Give a link? *blinks*

[mabus101]

*nods* Basically, yes--post some basic information about your fic (like a rating, a summary, what characters it's about, and so on) and then a link to this post.

I have no idea how to post on there. Do I have to join the community or something?

I want to laugh. I want to cry.

I want to hug Joss for creating such amazing characters and then slap him for killing them all.

But mostly, I want to congratulate you, hon. This is really good. Too many lines to choose from; but I think the one that I liked best was:

Her newfound resolve brought back her irritation full force.

Because, YES, that's the Cordelia half a fandom fell in love with.

Love the inclusion of Anya. I've always wished there'd been some way to put them in the same room, and that was a really good conversation between them. Very in character.

As per Doyle. *happy sigh*

You've made me happy, sweets. Thanks for reminding me to stop by.

[dudly_lajoie]

Thank you :DD I'm glad it's not a waste of your time. n___n

He did kill every friend Angel started with, didn't he? Doyle, Cordy, Wes... Fred, Gunn is probably dead and all. For that reason, the thought of doing a sequel to this came to my mind, but I don't really believe in sequels. ^^;

Heyyy! :D I just noticed your icon. <3 *is giddy* Thanks for stoppping by.

Here from leni_ba and very glad I dropped by. Such a great story. So very, very Cordy. And yay to the inclusion of both Anya and Doyle. :D

[dudly_lajoie]

Why, thank you! :D

Anya used to be my favorite character, when I had not watched AtS. There's just something about blunt characters that I like.

Anyways. I'm glad you liked. n___n Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Also came in thru Leni's rec, and glad I did. I love it that Cordy's getting some credit as a character here without needing to lean on love stories-- and poor Doyle was her only really good love story, so seeing them reunited warmed my heart.

And she would so totally want to watch her own funeral. Ha!

[dudly_lajoie]

Who wouldn't want to watch their own funerals? XD I mean, beside the creepiness factor and the seeing everyone you love in tears, hearing so much praise is what you want during all your lifetime, is it not?

And, thank you for the kind word. :) It warms my heart to see people like it. ^^

[a2zmom]

I think you nailed Cordelia. Very well done.

[dudly_lajoie]

Why, thank you. I'm happy you took the time to read and review. :)
