Posting from Africa - yeah, a real post.

Hey, check me out, I finally found a guy with a computer in this almost-town who's letting me use it. No phone-in post this time. Real live posting action going on

Xander- you are a good man. *hugs*

Xan's caretaker- You have done so much more than you will ever know. You and the other socks helped a lot of people move on, work through their grief (yes I say grief because in a way these shows became like family, and the people we made friends with did become family).

You have always played Xander true to form. Adorable, funny, strong, insecure, and a damn fine man.

I'm one of those who send you Christmas cards and such simply because reading your journal gave me so much joy.

So thank you, good luck and I'll miss you.

Hey, Sun, and thank you for writing. You're right, it is and was grief, because we all became so invested in these characters. We continue to care about them. The fact that we care so much is a testament to the quality of both Buffy and Angel. This project has helped me deal as well.

I did receive the e-card, and it made me day when I did.

Thank you for your incredibly kind words - I've worked hard to be the best Xander I could, because the guy sure deserves it. Hearing that it's been appreciated means the world to me.

Thanks for sticking around as long as you have, and for chiming in when you felt the urge. It means a lot.

Take care.

Thanks for being my partner-in-crime, Stealth Pig.

You will be totally missed, like an older brother who fixes things instead of locking me in closets!

What I mean to say is, I love you and will miss you.

I'll miss the other-yous, but I'm incredibly glad to know the real-life-you.

And thank you for all the work you did on entertaining those of us who loved the show.

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.

Thank you for reading. It's been more than a pleasure, believe me.

I still have other projects rolling, but it's just time for this journal to end. This experience has truly been one of a kind, and I'm very glad to have been a part of it.

Not goodbye...farewell...

I've been reading all the Buffy journals for awhile now. It was yours that got me started. It was yours that kept me here.

You are a talented writer and don't EVER let anyone tell you otherwise. If you must leave this forum, please work with your talent in some way. It is an awesome gift. Use it well.

Pacem.

Wow. I'm dangerously close to speechless. Your kind words mean a great deal to me. Thank you.

The random act of creating this journal led to my being bitten by the writing bug; I don't think it's possible for me to ever stop. I do have other projects rolling, but this journal has grown to mean a lot to me. My experience writing here and interacting with people as Xander is something that I'll always treasure.

Thank you for reading.
