DeepBlueJoy who used to be BlueBoo... Fav characters are Spike, Faith, & Illyria -- and more recently Drusilla... probably because I'm also a misfit who cares... And [hopefully] is transformed by it.

I'm a lot like Anya, except, I don't give a rats __ about money. ;-) and I'm not scared of bunnies!

If you get a 10 from me: Someone should be paying you for your writing (or already is), and you really should treasure it for life. If you get a rec *and* a 10, you're in very elite company indeed.

Regarding updates: When I have multiple projects in progress, I will rotate through them somewhat randomly, mostly dependent on inspiration. Don't think I've given up on anything unless it says 'abandoned' or 'on hiatus' (both very unlikely). I am in school, so sometimes long periods may occasionally occur between *any* updates (see below), but if it happens it's because it cannot be avoided I'm afraid.

Peace,

Blue

Note from TutorCat: Blue is attempting to study nursing and get into Nurse Practitioner school. If she is to do well, I can't have her posting chapters everyday. TutorCat is pleased with her progress so far and will allow her to post occasional updates... TutorCat wishes you the reader to be patient and encouraging. TutorCat is very appreciative of all your good wishes so far!

About Cordelia Chase:

Don't be surprised if I bring her back. Or refuse to let her die. In my opinion, the death of Cordelia Chase was the single greatest misstep in the entire Buffyverse. Not the fact of Cordelia dying, though that is regrettable. The truth is: people die. It's not because she's my favorite, though I do love her spirit.

No, the travesty is the complete and utter disrespect and disregard with which the most central character in Angel was systematically destroyed. Her character, her spirit, her innate honesty were ripped from her relentlessly. In the end, she didn't even rate a funeral. This pisses me off. Whatever axe the show runners had to grind with the actress, they took it out on the characters, the show, and ultimately, the fans. They decimated the heart of the show. Ultimately, that's why the series failed. With Cordy and Fred, there was joy and heart. After they were gone, there was just death.

About Xander Harris:

I don't write Super!Xander! stories. I *do* however really like Xander and I hope you'll like my take on a *normal* Xander. I think he's interesting and heroic enough as a person, warts and all... maybe more so. If you agree, you'll like my stories. If you need to 'tart' him up with uber-powers, you'll probably be disappointed by my stories.

About Season 8 and 9 comics? They do NOT exist. After the fall may exist in some parallel universe if I feel like it, but season 8 and 9 is fanfic by the man himself... It's not canon. Just for the record.

PS: I don't bash any character. If I hate them that much, why write them?

NOTE: I respond to *all* reviews. I unfortunately cannot respond to *unregistered* people I've never heard from before, who send me private emails. Thank you for your understanding.

I deeply appreciate thoughtful reviews, praise and polite criticism. Reviews make me think, encourage me, and let me know that other people really do care about what I write. I know a review is a privilege, not a right, but just know that they are appreciated, especially on those days when I'm second guessing *everything* I've written.
