Egads!! Are you Cordelia? How else to get the voice so right?

Really good fiction -

[a2zmom]

Good grief! I hope not considering she's not exactly nice.

I'm glad you're enjoying it. More to come.

Great beginning! Cordelia always was spot on the money, wasn't she? *g*

But you've been way off your game for days and if you get killed, what's going to happen to me?

Heee. Great Cordy voice.

"Fiddler on the Roof," she said as if that explained everything. Judging by his expression, it pretty much explained nothing.

*SPIT TAKE*

“And textbooks are no longer required for this effort because…?”

“Because we’re studying for an oral quiz,” Buffy earnestly explained.

Hahahahahahaha.

Great dialogue in this. Thanks for writing it for this ficathon. Looking forward to more!

I love writing Cordy up through about AtS season2. After that, I have no clue about her character, because she no longer made any sense. I hate how they ruined her.

The oral quiz line is a favorite. Yeah, Buffy logic!

Thank you! I can't wait to read your story - I'm rationing them one a day to make them last longer.

Wow, what an excruciatingly embarrassing conversation. Made me facepalm. Beautifully written! Your Buffy is just so... sixteen. :)

[a2zmom]

Your Buffy is just so... sixteen.

That is a lovely thing to say, considering 16 was a long time ago for me. Sex is a mortifying topic for most people of any age and the guy you have the hots for has just admitted to being a walking slut - no, not good.

You can kind of understand Angel really not wanting to talk.

Oh my - it's just like we are back in that season! SQUEEE! Oops - sorry - will calm down now and be normal. Hmmm...loved the Angel and Buffy confusing conversation - rather a staple at this point in their relationship and I especially liked Cordy. Ahhh...remember when Cordy was this awesome character who you just had to admire for her simplicity? Okay - now back to regular life. Will watch for the next part with bated breath (okay, maybe not literally bated but I think I get to exaggerate here if I want!).

Thank you for the delightful enthusiasm.

The ruination of Cordelia Chase is the biggest mistake ME ever made. They made her boring!
