Re: [buffywantswillow] Fic; Clean Break(1/1)

["Quindo Ma" <quindo.ma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry all, dunno how it happened, but that last mail went out before I could stop it. I hit 'reply'
and it was out, way before I hit 'send'
Sorry again.

<<<Author's note; I wrote this story for one purpose; I decided that, as much as I want Riley
Finn off the show, I don't want his last episode(whenever that may be, I'm taking all rumors
of Mark Blucas' departure with a grain of salt until I hear something from a reliable source) to
be messy. If Riley is killed, or Turned, or sacrifices his life to save the gang, or something like
that, Buffy would get angsty for the rest of the season, and an angsty Buffy is not a fun Buffy.
Just look at the Angelus story arc. Powerful stuff, but man, I was starting to side with Cordy;
"Spank your inner moppet!" This way, she makes a clean break. No angst, no regrets, just
a simple goodbye, and a promise of a future for her. Plus, we won't see Riley pop up in any
nasty nightmares the way Angel did at the start of season three.>>>

I think you're quite right with that one.
Great story, and now... who's taking up the ball of this one to make a sequel? Hmmm? :-)
