Review of chapter "Chapter Five: Conclusion" from Ponder
Review:
Thanks.
I like how you occasionally show that Spike had a good education, despite his attempts to hide it.

You might want to take a look at your semicolon usage. It's almost always never correct to mix them with conjunctions. If you've got a conjunction joining clauses, the usual punctuation that goes with it is a comma, or nothing. A semicolon is used to join together independent clauses without a conjunction, or is used to delimit a list that contains non-delimiting commas.

Thank you.
I've taken that look at the semicolon usage. I wrote this story a long time ago and my punctuation has improved since then. I noticed that in a couple of places I had used two semicolons within a single sentence and I wouldn't do that now (except to delimit a list that contains non-delimiting commas, not a situation that often occurs in a fic). I've gone through and deleted many of the superfluous semicolons or replaced them with commas.

Review:
Lovely story, here. I think I may have heard of the Noggins and the Clangers, but never have seen them. Your chapter intros were exactly what one would expect of a cartoon serial, and made a nice addition to the story.
Thanks for writing! ~"~

Review:
Lovely, lovely.
He, he. By the end I was making Ivor the Engine noises.
Very calming, well written and it put me in the mood for a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Thank you very much.

I was terrified that the Ivor the Engine bit would disappear into a black hole of reader incomprehension; I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about! Thank you.

Thanks. I was worried that no-one would have heard of Noggin.

Lovely to see this here - hope you'll be posting more stories (and writing more crossovers).
Comments from author:
Thanks. Of course, first I'll have to find another fandom I know something about! I don't think Buffy on Ringworld would work, but perhaps I might try Spike or Angel meeting Modesty Blaise some time.
