It looks like I neglected to comment  on this - I meant to, really! I love Agnes Pringle. And I love the way she feels about Christmas, regardless of whether it's appropriate for her now that she's a vampire. Her struggle to carry on with life, or unlife, is always very touching. A lot of them would be turned, especially at this time of the year when vamps got bored with being indoors but until then, they needed to be fed. That line seems quintessentially Agnes. Very realistic and yet strangely innocent, with a basic practicality underlying it all. She's had such a difficult time of it both as a human and a vampire and yet she keeps trying in spite of everything. Her perceptions of "Dear Richard" are hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm so glad you gave her the wished-for snow for Christmas.
Oh thank you!   For making it the 3000 review but also, much more importantly, for saying nice things about my Agnes Pringle.  Yes, she does find life difficult, she always has, but like a lot of people who are overlooked - both human and vampire - she is needed to keep the wheels turning.

I love my vampire world.  There must have been a lot in Sunnydale who went on once turned because otherwise there wouldn't have been all those ones rising for Buffy to stake!   If you see what I mean!

 The herald Angels indeed!  I love when nice things happen to our Agnes!  How did I miss this update?  I do so love this view of Sunnydale and all our friends there through her eyes.  That "demon community" really needs exploring and you are doing it so well...so nicely fleshed out!

*hugs* to you and to Agnes

 So glad you have finally caught up with our Agnes and Hark!   I missed your comments when i first posted and wondered if you didn't like it.  I have to get down to some serious Agnes writing soon but RL has been nastyish of late. Hope all well.

I want you to know I burst into tears over this chapter of Agnes's life.  What a lovely piece of writing.
 Awww - thank you - I think!   Didn't want to make anyone cry but glad it touched you.  Hope all well.

You know, I can't bake anymore without thinking of your dear Agnes. 
These chapters are so poignant and sad.  Sometimes I wonder if I can even bear to read them.  But I always do!  This one was lovely.  I particularly liked Hark.
 I am exactly the same!  I was trying to make cheese straws before Christmas and kept hearing a voice saying, no not paprika, add blood!  It makes them such a rich colour!   Glad you liked Hark!   My childhood favourite angel!

How nice that after no one came to Agnes' Xmas eve, an angel answered her wish.  That was a sweet chapter.  How I love Agnes Pringle.
 Thank you so much!  Delighted you are still enjoying Agnes' story and apologies for not updating more regularly!  Hope you had a good Christmas.  Best wishes for the New Year.

Thank You so much for this wonderful Agnes Christmas Gift -  It's a lovely story and so perfect for Agnes -   I was so sad at first, but  Agnes turned everything into a Grand Christmas Champagne and got her beautiful gift . 

This will go with my Holiday Season Recommends over at my Buffy Tube site -
 Delighted you liked the story and thrilled that you will put it on your recs site.  I don't know the Buffy Tube site. Will need to check it out.

And a very Happy Christmas to you and yours.

I'm thrilled Agnes had such a sweet gift from 'Hark', it made me come over all sentimental. Seasons greetings to you.
 Yes, she needed something to make her Christmas special.  Have a lovely Christmas.

Aw, poor Agnes, she tries so very hard and it never quite works out for her. I love her encounter with the Mysterious Stranger. 'Some people call me Hark' indeed! Love it!
 So glad you liked the story.  I'm very fond of Hark the Herald Angel!!
