Tim

Great story! I'm glad that you brought Angel and Jenny back. I just hope that the show does. I think you're right about Xander and Cordelia being in love. I don't even mind that it was all mushy. Buffy is always about action.

Tim:
Even though it's mushy, it's pretty damn good. I especially like the fact the Angel didn't get back "in."
Giles and Jenny together also makes me happy...

Annie

Realy great ending, it brought a tear to my eye when Buffy was talking about Angel and the ending where he was by himself. It was a really awesome ending!

Sydney

I like it. I like it a lot. It's touching and very moving. makes me
kinda sad, and like Xander says (I think he says it) in Lie to Me "It gives me a happy"

Hi, my name is Jenny, I sent you email a few days ago... to tell you that I love your web page. Now I am going to tell you that I love your story... I write fan fiction as well, and If you want to read it I would be glad to send it to you. It is intense I warn you... But I would like to have your feedback.. If you want, e mail me at Xander1013@aol.com Thanks! ----Jenny
If any of you have read some of Jenny's fanfic, you'll agree with me that's it's pretty good. She wanted me to link it to my page, but I don't have the server space. Email her and ask her to send you some, it's adult oriented but very well written.

Well I don't know about heavy narcotics but if they'll make me write like
that BRING 'EM OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNN! I think your story was GRRRREAT as my friend Tony would say! Yeah, it was mushy, but a good kinda mushy!
This story is posted in an archive, and in the disclaimer I wrote that I won't claim the authorship of this mush-fest since I was under the influence of heavy narcotics when I wrote it. That is a joke, I really wasn't.

This was a very good story. I loved it!!! I cried, it was sooo good! Could you send me a copy??? PLEASE!!!!

~Jennifer
Jennifer didn't send me an email address, so that makes it kinda hard. But she should feel free to download a copy for her own use.

It was cool ! I think it would be like the perfect script for the last episode of the season. ( Basically cause Angel and Jenny are back!)
What happened to Willow that made her so mad at Xander?

A person who luved your story,
Amanda Garofalo
I don't know what happened. I had a whole story worked out but never wrote it and forget what it was. It was similar to what Aftermath is now, except this scene wouldn't be in Aftermath. And I'd love to see this as a script--Hey Joss, if you read this, feel free to take it. You don't even have to acknowledge that you ever read it. You can steal from me anytime.

Nice story. Very sweet and cute. Nice of you to think of a way to bring back Ms. Calendar and Angelus back to Angel. Nice ending though i hope you make a second part witch include Oz and Buffy has forgiven Angel, they make such a cute couple.
Anyway, it was a very great story!
I don't like Oz that much. Don't look for him to be a major player in any of my stories. But he'll be there. And I have no intention of ever getting Buffy and Angel back together in my fanfic. If I were to restore him in a future fic, I'd probably pair him with Calendar.

YOUR STORY COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, BUT IT WAS GOOD
Hmm...don't shout.

I think it was a great story, but I have just one suggestion. Put something about Oz showing up the next day and Xander getting used to him being with Willow. That would show that Willow is trying to move on and Xander is being a best friend like he used to be.
Kelly P.
I have always believed that Xander never saw Willow as anything more than his best friend, and after Becoming 2 I still believe that. In his mind, no one would be good enough for "his Willow," but you're right, he will get used to Oz.

I like your story, even though i don't know how angel and Jenny are restored. I think bringing Jenny back is a very good idea, I liked her.

Jessica
At least someone accepts that how they brought them back isn't important.

I read the whole thing , I really liked, The story was great, it was really mooshy, which was okay, but that was the whole thing and it's partly an action show, it needs a little more action to be a realy Buffy script
It's not a Buffy script. It's a story.

I have to say that if you can get this to the director of B.T.V.S, he would be a moron if he didn't make this into a episode! I was curious if you were ever going to finish this?

from:M.D.
Wouldn't that be something. And it is finished. But I may start it someday.

I think your story was great and i love all the mushy stuff. Keep writing, I'll be expecting
--Sasha

This short story was really nice. I hope one day on the show it will actually happen.
So do I.

This is a great story. Kudos to you my friend!!

hello! Why the hell didn't angel and buffy get back together?
Must I explain it again? I don't WANT them together. Move on already.

    This is my favorite...
honestly it wouldn't work there just isn't enough talk. Too much verbalization by you not them. If
you were writing a book it might work, but as a script it sucks.
     does this look like a script? Are there lines and stage directions? I don't think
so. It's a story, you moron. Take an elementary English class and learn the difference.
For one thing many things are unresolved, How they brought back Jenny, how they got the soul
into Angel,
Is that the focus of the story? In the synopsis, does it say "the gang revives ms. calendar and returns Angel's soul? No, I don't think so. This story is about Xander's reaction to events, not the evens themselves. What happened is irrelevant.
and you just dropped the problem by having them agree to put it behind them. You can't just do
that.
Yes I can. I'm the author, I can do whatever I want.
It takes TIME for wounds to heal and not agreements.
Time heals all wounds. Near death experiences do it better.
Honestly reading it was just a waste of my time. When you feel like writing something worth my
time or any one elses feel free but remember to slove your problems you stupid air head.
                                    - utterly dissapointed-
Yeah, that makes me takes you seriously. If I so wasted your time, why did you send me an entire paragraph in response? Obviously I had some impact on you. Get a life. God, I love people like you. I get such pleasure from taking a dumb fuck like you and tearing you flames to shreds. I have so much fun doing this...

It was pretty good. But you might want to try explaining how they got Angel's soul back, and how the revived Ms. Calendar. But other then that, very good. Maybe for a next story you could have Buffy and Angel getting back together, now that would be nice. I like the fact that you go into what Cordelia is thinking, people usually ignore what Cordy is thinking. Awesome job!!
Now I agree, some people might want to know what happened. And maybe one day I'll tell them. But at least you understand that's not the focus of the story. I've said it before, I do not think Buffy and Angel belong together anymore. Get over it. Too many people assume Cordy doesn't have thoughts. I think she's just afraid of showing herself. Glad you like that, it's the main point.

I think you wrote the story very well. In my opinion you did a great job keeping the characters true to the personalities that we, the viewers, know that characters by. Keep up the writing, I'd love to
see what you can do with your own characters!
Katie
One day, Katie, I'll finish my book and then you can see. For now, go to my page at www.Geocities.com/Broadway/9677 to see some of the other, non Buffy things I've written.

I really liked your story, and I just thought you should know that. I am also starting a Xander/Cordelia fan fic archive, and am interested in including Happy Ending in it. Please write back if it is okay.
-Melissa
I'm pretty sure I told Melissa yes. But if anyone wants to put this story in an archive, I give you permission. Just email me telling me so I can check it out.

I loved the story, although you might want to make Buffy a suffer a little less, she has been through enough...otherwise you did great
Buffy's suffered far too much, in my opinion. I think Joss needs to let her get over Angel and move on, at least for a while. Too much angst gets old.

I loved the story..It was great
Rachael

Pretty good story, we think, but next time do something with Angel and Buffy. :o)
Standard Buffy/Angel disclaimer here.

I think you did a good job. Writing is hard work, I've done a little and my own stuff bores me! I'm not sure this is the direction the show's writers will take the characters. On the other hand, I think the writers have put themselves in a jam with the overall plot (regarding Angel/Angelus) and who knows what they are thinking to resolve the mess. Your attempt is as good as any. Keep trying with the writing!

Chuck
He's probably right about the direction of the show. but I wish it would go this way. The key to good writing is to...actually, I have no idea what the key to good writing it. I make it up as I go along. all right, bad joke.

Hey! I'm impressed. This was a really good story. I'd love to know what happened before this story took place. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Colleen Murphy
so would I. But the muses chose not to reveal that to me.

that was a cool story it rocked it would make a cool show

Excellent, i love Buffy it's the best show. Plus I look like her...
GREAT web page!!
Lucky you, I wish I looked like Buffy...oh wait, I'm a guy, no I don't.

This is great!! Keep it coming....I wnat angel and buffy to reunite!!
You're opinion is in the majority. but I don't even want him back on the show.

this is way too mushy
I warned you...

(happy ending) I really liked this story. Even though I'm not sure about Xander and Cordelia yet, it was really sweet how you made them realize their feelings for each other. I'm really glad that you brought Angel and Jenny back. Now they can all be one big happy family again.
Slightly dysfunctional, but happy...

Hello, I think it was too melodramantic, I mean that whole part with angle and Xander.
"I love buffy but I also love Colly and I almost lost her but you saved her?" I have never heard
Xander say the I love you sentance. Not once, It was weird.
Sorry
B.M.
Oh man, where do I start...Angel, not angle. Cordy, not Colly. Sentence, not sentance. And it's a mush story. I say it right in the disclaimer. What did you expect??? Plus, Xander growing up. You start to say that when you grow up. That might even happen to you one day.

How come you didn't put a little more about Angel in it?:)
It had a good deal of Angel. More of Angel than Giles, Willow, or Jenny.

I thought the basic plot of your story was pretty good. I liked how I could see into Xander's mind so clearly- fans don't usually get to know what he's thinking - and how his and Cordy's relationship was further developed. However, you need to clear things up in the story. Perhaps you could write an episode that takes place before this one, and explains how Ms. Calendar came back and
how Angel managed to come back from Hell, so that you wouldn't have to make this story longer.
Those are incidental. They happened, except it. Deal with not knowing. Also, This was written before Becoming. So Angel wasn't in hell.

i liked it it did need a lil mor dialog, but it was a good story an i wana know what happens next
if u couldnt tell im goin through buffy withdraw here reruns just arent the same, so i gota go with the fanfic
What? learn to type.

I am making a Xander and Cordelia fan fiction page and I was wondering
if I could put your story on my sight.
Ps
If you write anymore xander and cordelia fan fic please send it to me.
I think I told this person yes. But if anyone wants to put this story in an archive, I give you permission. Just email me telling me so I can check it out.

I'm most defiantly not writing something stupid. That was great! I mean really really great. Instead of concentrating on the fights and the horror you concentrated on the healing. The feelings were the main thing here and I loved that. Feelings are never really taken care of on the show, and you did it wonderfully.
Keep writing!
Darn, a smart person! j/k. seriously, I appreciate the feedback. I think in the Innocence-Passion-Becoming trilogy they were well explored, and Lie to Me, but not apart from that. By the way, I make fun of people for spelling mistakes, but if you write something intelligent (even negative, but something intelligent) I'll correct it on her so you don't feel dumb.

it was cool i guess
thanks, I guess...

i think u have an interesting imagination......but how and when are u planning on buffy and angel meeting???? well the story was good so that means that u have great potential to be a great writer....

bye
meeting and coming to terms...I might write that. It needs to happen.

i liked the little story. it was kinda cute. but how did you get Angel out of Hell?
Again, this was a pre-Becoming story. And, for the sake of this story, it doesn't matter.

Well nobody is going to read that whole thing. I'm not saying it's bad or anything but nobodt is going to read that unless their a prouducer. And chances are the won't find the story, so make a copy and send it to them.
Apparently a lot of people read it...

Your storry was really good, but notreally like a real episode.
You should elaborate on demond and how it was killed.
1-Angel killed the demon. 2-demon. 3-it's not an episode. it's a story.

It was great
Jessie

Bruce's Mom-
Hi! I read your story Happy Ending and I really liked it! I was
wondering if I could have your permission to put in on a new
Cordy/Xander I'm working on. I won't touch a thing and your name will
be one it, and if you have a web page, I'll link you.
If you want to check out the site before you decide, you can take a
look at http://members.xoom.com/Mistiec
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Melissa Flores
I always try to plug fanfic sites, especially ones that want to use my story. Check it out.

Hey,
sorry this isn't one of the flames you love, but I really LIKED you're story. It was interesting and very cool. Xander and Cordy better stay together next season!!
Elizabeth
except for a brief Buffy-interlude, I bet they will (Cordy and Buffy, not Xander and Buffy. I'm just kidding) I don't know what happens so that's not a spoiler.

That was such a good story. I liked it so much. I almost cried! Hahaha!
Well anyway, it was really good.

It would be nice to see a story about Buffy and Angel getting together. (for all of us Buffy_Angel suckers out there) I read a lot of the criticism, and I don't agree. I've read every Buffy book that have been published, and I think your writing is good. This is one of the best fan fiction story's I've read.
Plenty Buffy/Angel stories are out there. But don't look here for one anytime soon. But thanks for the compliments. It's nice that some Buffy/Angel suckers, like this person, Have intelligence.

our story was great! I loved it i hope that you'll write more!
I will, I promise.

i think it was really good accept you should have done something at the end with Angel like Buffy forgiving him or something like that. but other than that i liked it a lot
sigh...

both "Happy Ending" "Aftermath" were very well written. I am looking forward to "Aftermath's" sequel. keep up the story telling but check the spelling.
I didn't miss spelling. Although I might have thrown in the wrong word, I know it was spelled right. It's a big deal with me.

Hi. My name is Andrea. I loved your story. It almost made me cry. I really think this would make a great episode. I do think you should have included Spike and Drusilla though since they are the coolest. I love how you made Xander and Cordelia really love each other since they are such a good couple. It would be a little better if there was a bit more description of what hurt Cordelia, but it's still great. Thank you for writing this story. I also love everything else on your page it's my favorite. Another Buffy fan
I agree about Spike and Dru, but they really didn't have a place in this story. Spike will be in Aftermath if I ever finish it.

That's all the feedback! If you want to send some more, or respond to what i've said, use the form on Happy Ending or email me .
