Question about Headful of Ghosts

[wesleysgirl]

So Xander has left the building. He's coming back. Some stuff happens to him while he's out on the streets (briefly) -- but I can't show that unless I write the scene from his POV. So far, I've managed to stick to Spike and Angel's POVs only, and it was my intention to keep it that way. But it might be better to show what happens with him after he goes outside (as opposed to having him tell it to Spike when he gets back.) But then I've got a story with three POVs instead of just two.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking there would be no problem in adding Xander's POV. Until now, everything that's happened has been filmed within the hotel through the eyes of its primary inhabitants, including Xander's arrival (carrying Willow). [Obviously I'm seeing this in visual terms.]

Even Xander's reactions after the rape are muted. [And why does it take SO much to get him to leave?] But, if his POV is going to bring us greater clarity when he returns (even with a more involved storyline), I say do it. Perhaps you could do his POV in a different font or size? Just in case we're too clueless to get it?

Once again, I don't know if *enjoying* is the right word, but *WOW* definitely is!

Thanks,
H.
