Lost in Translation by anaunthe Hebi 04/01/2012 01:11 am Chapter 1 As someone who does a bit of translating ancient texts myself, I's just like to point out that Wes's last suggestion would likely be a poetic rather than literal translation. Which would not make it less likely to be accurate, as prophecy is often poetic. Other than that, fantastic. Really, they as good as said Spike's soul burned out on the Hellmouth, and then made it clear with Ilyria that souls can indeed be consumed. Add that to the personality changes, and nothing else makes sense. I like your translation of the Shanshu much better. But you still have to wonder Wes said one who loves and is loved in return. Spike didn't believe Buffy and still doesn't. Is he hoping to find a new girl? alým 04/23/2008 11:08 am Chapter 1 Perfect! Loved it! Dirktavian 01/02/2007 12:12 am Chapter 1 Very interesting concept. I always thought it was Spike's vehement dislike of Angel and his own belief that Buffy's life would be better off without him that made him act so differently in the last season of Angel. I really like your writing style~ very, very good. Robyn 09/05/2006 01:07 am Chapter 1 This really is a great reconciliation of the two seasons. Thanks. :) Thanks. It seemed to fit. ~*~Tasha~*~ 08/31/2006 07:08 am Chapter 1 Now that is an interesting take on that episode and the shanshu. I liked your reconciliation of the two season's characters. You brought up some good points, and you explained things a lot better than we got in Angel Season5. Thanks - that whole season was so inconsistent. I can understand why the show got cancelled (prior to that year I had never watched AtS, can't stand Angel is why). Tamara 08/25/2006 02:16 pm Chapter 1 Oooh ooh nice. Next please? Maybe more later. Thanks for asking. that was rather nice - but i want to know more! great little fic Thanks. I may rework something else I have into a sequel - after I finish my other project. Emily 08/20/2006 03:02 am Chapter 1 Oh!!! That is soo good! Great great explanation. I was always wondering why there was such a huge difference between the pansy-ass Spike of season 7 and the pain-in-angel's-ass Spike of Ats. I always figured it was either the fact Joss is incredibly inconsistent (even his worshipers must acknowledge this) or the fact that even people with souls would love to piss off Angel. But this is so much better and so much happier with the Shanshu twist. Loved it! Thanks - I just found the transition a bit jarring, but I guess that Joss's explanation is closer to yours. Personally, I'd go with the pissing off Angel one, but Joss's inconsistency is probably nearer the truth. Wow! Great twist, love the possiblities. Spike not having a soul again, not that he needed one in the first place. Very exciting rewrite. Looking forward to your updates, LOL. Hey Verda, girl. Glad you liked this quickie. vladt 08/20/2006 01:18 am Chapter 1 very good read, thank you. Thanks for the review! kim 08/20/2006 01:08 am Chapter 1 Interesting...but I always chalked up his behavior at times to being around Angel again, and tons of strangers. That kind of thing puts Spike at his snarky, most defensive best. I agree. But the fling with Harmony was inexcusable. I very much enjoyed your take on this! Great ficlet. Thanks for the review! lol...that translation points much more specifically toward spike i think...excellent little piece, great job :) Thanks. Language is much more difficult than is usually thought. | |||
