While perusing All About Spike a new WIP that has just started (2 chapters right now). It's called Every After and it by Ginmar. It's post Chosen and looks like a picks up a few months (or maybe longer) after Sunnydale is sucked to hell.
I like what I've read so far. Has anyone else started reading this?

Betsy, I was about to reply to you on part 20 when it (finally) was locked. I'm reading it and I'm encouraged by the amount of detail Ginmar is putting in. Lots of verisimilitude about the rescue attempt, for instance, and good dialogue in part 1 between Buffy and Giles--the occasional traffic noises, for instance, that she hears on the phone during Giles' silences. That's always a good sign in a story. I'll continue to follow it, even though Spike apparently doesn't show up drowning in footwear in this version.

I ran over and gave it a quick read. Ooooh, I like the way this is shaping up! Thanks, Betsy!!!

I just finished another chunk of my synthesis project and I need a mental health break. OK, over now. Back to work (at least momentarily). Hi ho, hi ho...

I got a call from a sobbing daughter this morning. Her counselor was letting her use her cell-phone. She was begging to come home so Brad went to get her. If she was that unhappy I didn't see any reason to make her stay. It never bothered me to be away from home. I don't know why it does her, we don't treat her that great She'll be home in a little while and I'll find out more then.

I found it quite interesting the detail she went into while the crew were in the high school and her description of the destruction and the questions in their minds. Then at the absolute end . . . what a way to come back. What did you think? I'm glad I'm on the update list for AAS so I know exactly what's been updated. Makes it easy to track WIP's.

I remember when I went to Florida with my grandmother when I was 10 and my aunt sent me home early because I was so homesick. Went home all alone on an airplane. I think that was more traumatic than it would have been to have stayed there and tough it out. Now, I only have happy memories of the visit - and don't remember the homesickness at all. I remember the cute blonde boy who taught me how to swim. I always thought they had sent me home because my mom was lonely for me. I was the oldest of 4 - don't know how lonely she could have been.

Vlad's internet provider has been down and out since Monday morning, with only occasional flickerings of life. He has been unable to update anything since Sunday...for those of us with chapters, analysis, names, profiles and *ahem* poems waiting for attention, we are not forgotten, just...inaccessible.

I just got overwhelmed with homesickness, he offered to send me home. I think that's all I needed; after that, I was fine and stayed for the rest of the trip. However, no cute blondes on my trip. Damn!

I remember what a dork I thought I was back then.... shy girl from the midwest, didn't know how to swim, and then here's this beautiful boy - and he had perfect manners. Never did laugh at me or make me feel stupid. <Sigh> He died in a tragic accident before he was 20. EG! I see you have MASTERSIZED! Have you picked out a title yet? How about S'cube Soul Sister? Don't know why I thought that - but now I've got that song running thru my head. Of course, can't think of the name of it. (looked it up - Lady Marmalade) duh [glow=red,2,300] [/glow]

They are stopping at McDonalds and will be home in about an hour. Get this. I asked her if she had any fun at all and she goes "I had alot of fun, I made a ton of new friends" and I go "Well why did you want to come home?" "I missed you, isn't that a good enough reason?". I should be flattered I guess, but I'm wondering if I should have made her stay now. I thought maybe no one was talking to her and she was having a terrible time. My mom thinks she just needed to know she could come home if she wanted. Who knows

She'll (and you'll) do better next time!
