Thank you! It was an experimental work - I was only allowed to use description and dialogue, no action, and keep it quiet - or that was the challenge I gave myself.
I am fascinated by the idea of Spike shan-shuing. How would he deal with being human again? Would he embrace it? Hate it? And how would he deal with Buffy ten years later? For that matter, how would Buffy deal with Spike or who Spike had become? Most people found Spike the vampire more interesting, but William fascinates me as well. I like the duality. The contradiction. It is, I think, brilliant - most people would have made the man who became Spike, a working class street kid or punk - but Whedon made him a young struggling upper middle class poet who was devoted to his mother, and hated violence.
