Read the new material. Very nice! I think though, that Giles needs to
keep his cool if he is going to get anywhere in explaining things to

Happy Holidays everybody!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday
season. As one of my New Year's Resolutions, I am going to try and post
something at least once or twice a month. I hope that you all would try
and help keep me honest.

I check my e-mail several times a day, even if I neglect to log on to
my IM.

In other news, two of my Cole/Willow stories have been nominated for an
award at Twisting the Hellmouth: Passion of 3 and What Was She Thinking?

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to let you all know that I've started to write again. I
had planned on posting the next chapter in my "Knight of Angels"
story. But I got the call to go back to my darling Cole & Willow. So,
I've started writing Chapter 8 of the prequel. I had been doing some
daydreaming (brainstorming) about that story in the last couple of
weeks. However, my daydreams and the status of my story seem to be
separated by a few scenes. So, hopefully, I'll get back up to a
regular update.

Secondly, I have also started brainstorming a little about an original
story. If I start this story, would anyone be up for giving me a
little criticism?

Thanks,
Kirsten

I think it would be a fascinating story! I would love to read it!---

I am! I am!
I would love to read about Cole's history, especially his mother and what
happened to her.
great idea.

Certainly an avenue to explore and one I personally
would love to read.  I've just re-read some of your
stories and am as delighted with them as I was
first-time around.  I look forward to the follow-up of
Godzilla Fest!  The last line of the last chapter (a
whitelighter in the Underworld...) has me very
curious!

Many thanks for these wonderful stories.

Would you read a story that took place in Cole's past? I've had a
brainstorm for a new story. I would love to explore Cole's past -
especially his life in the Underworld.

What was life like for Cole as a half-breed?

How did he feel after his mother killed his father and then they
moved to the Underworld?

His training and education in the Underworld - What was that like?

What were his early experiences with demons like the Source, the
Seer, Shaxx, Tempus, etc.?

What kind of mother was Elizabeth?

What kind of friends and relationships did he have?

These are some questions I would like to explore. My question for
you is: Is there any interest in reading these stories?

That is a great idea. I would love to see how you write it.

Number one, you're going to make my head swell with words
like "beloved creator".

Number two, cool idea! I'm not sure how Cole would handle that.
Originally, I had planned that they would've known everything about
one another. So, that means Vamp Willow wouldn't have been much of a
surprise. However, now that I think about that, that would make
life/marriage kind of boring if your significant other knew
EVERYTHING!

I do like the idea - maybe put it in a one-off story - or sneak it
into "If Wishes Were Demons".

Thanks! I love to get new ideas. Keep 'em coming!

First off, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Harry, and I am a
big reader of fan fiction. Our beloved creator of these stories sent me
an invite to join up, and I just finished reading all the stories that
she has posted to date! Now, a small suggestion, and if the creator of
these stories wants to follow up on it, then she is MORE than welcome
too! My idea: Have Willow and Cole end up in the Wishverse, and meet up
with Vamp Willow! Talk about double the fun! Might make for some
interesting times!

Sorry to everyone for how long it took me to post again. I know it's
been way too long. But, I just didn't seem to be able to string two
words together for some reason.

I am going to try to keep up from now on. Thanks to all for your
patience.

be fine. Sorry about the wait.

Thanks for re-reading Willow in Thorns. It always amazes me how popular
it is.

Kirsten,
Hi, sorry it took me a little while to respond. When will you be
updating Third Time's The Charm? I just reread Willow IN The Thorns,
again, for the 3rd time. I just love it. I love the relationship
between Cole & Willow. I never thought of them as a couple, but they
do seem alike in some ways.

My favorite chapyters of Willow In The Thorns are 12 & 14. (Great
Cole/Willow chapters.)

I know it's been a while since I've written anything at all! I'm so
sorry. I'm still thinking about my stories - I just need to get to it.
Does RL mean real life? If so, not really. I just go through dry
phases.

Thanks for the note.

I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. Hi my name is Erica and
I am a WillowCole-aholic!!!

Well, believe it or not, it was one year ago today that I posted the
prologue to A Willow in Thorns. Hard to believe.

I'm also happy to announce that A WILLOW IN THORNS has been recognized
in several places. Soon after I first finished it, it was nominated for
Best Supernatural story at the Fang Fetish awards. (Go figure! I
absolutely hate Spike/Buffy and Spike/Willow stories!)

Now, it has been nominated at the Twisting the Hellmouth's Crossing
Over Award where it won for Best Charmed Crossover - 2006!

Thanks to all who believed that I could write!

Kirsten
aka zillagirl84

This is my first entree into the position of moderator. So, let me know
if there is anything you need to know.

First off, my rules are simple and sweet. This is not a place for spam,
obscenity, or NC-17 fics.

I would like to use this as a forum not only to post my Willow in
Thorns series, but a place to discuss it. If any of you would like to
post your own fic, please do. I welcome seeing your contributions to
the Willow-Cole world. That saying I will accept any Charmed-Buffy
crossover.

Second rule, if you do post a fic in the Willow in Thorns 'verse,
please let me know before you post it elsewhere.

Thirdly, anyone that is inspired to produce fan art from one of my
fics. I would love to post it here!! I'm a complete nerd when it comes
to maniupulating images - so I'd love to see it!

Welcome again!!
