This is cool!selinde2January 30 2008, 01:15:40 UTC
I'm always pleased to see a new Joyce fic, and I enjoyed this one - short and sweet, with just enough conversation to be believable, and isn't Spike the nice guy trying to be pig enough for Harmony to leave him? I am big with the liking.

*squee* Glad you liked. I cringe right along with Spike when Harmony is mentioned. But really, you could see the guy trying to lay a few subtle hints! "I care for syphilus more than you" and the like. :)
Enjoyed that very much. Have always had a sneaking liking for Spike/Joyce partly because I self-identify with Joyce, but let that go, and this was cute and funny and with great character voices as usual.
One tiny thing - it's 'bollocks', not 'bullocks.' A bullock is the Brit English word for a steer, whereas 'bollocks' means 'balls,' something that bullocks are conspicuously lacking.
Joyce is a very easy character to identify with and we just can't have enough Joyce fic! Glad you liked.
Hee! Bollocks! Thanks for finding that screw-up. I think it was a case of the spell checker earnestly convincing me it knew what I really wanted to type. Added to the dictionary!
Lots of Americans make that mistake. In fact, it's so common that if you look at the Spike set of BtVS trading cards (which I own because I'm a sad old fangirl), the mistake is even repeated in those. Aargh!
I have a very useful educational icon someone made me to illustrate the difference.
When I looked at your LJ today, I was hoping that htere would be a new part of Falling up. But now, after reading this, I'm glad you wrote this instead...
This was SO NICE! I could see the two of them snuggling and drinking chocolate. Such a nice, warm, happy little fic. Thank you for posting it and making my day nice.
