Story Notes: This is, and will probably remain unbetaed as I am uncomfortable getting feedback/critiques on poetry.  There will be some commentary by Buffy, but as the challenge demands, the vast majority of the content will be Spike's poetry.  Since this is a "published collection", the poems will not necessarily come as I write them (I might write later poems before earlier ones), and they will be divided into the following four categories:  The William Years, The Early Spike Years, The Transformational Spike Years, and The Champion Years.  Also, as this is just the "text" of the poetry collection, Spike will not be resurrected, which is the main reason for Character Death at this time (though I suspect there will be a poem for Joyce's death at some point as well).
Oh, and I made the banner -- I'm new to digital art, but I enjoyed the process.  It gave me insight into how much work our more active artists put in to their creations.
