You're fabulous and for what it's worth, I've noticed that your responses have been faster as of late, so I think there's been improvement there!

All I can really say as far as crit is that I would looove to see Xander around more. I know Blake is your main character and so you're more likely to toss him out, and he's lovely, but your Xander is so good too. ♥ And I say that as someone who hasn't seen BtVS, but he's just such a crack-up.
