Hi, I just finished reading this from start to, well, here. I really like it. It's a very interesting concept. I liked that you said Spike didn't go there before because he was afraid of leading the Initiative there. So many times authors forget to explain why he never used the resources they claim he had, drives me nuts. So kudos to you! This also a very interesting take on bring out Xander's repressed hyena. I like how he could smell the blood first, it makes sense in retrospect, but didn't give away what was happening. I can't wait to see where this goes next!
