Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

* A spin-off virtual series that takes place seven years after S7 and centers on Xander -- now armed with Cordelia-style visions and a magic eight ball that actually does tell the truth -- moving to Cape Kenneth to be the Watcher for a young Slayer named Olivia "Liv" Fontaine (you may remember her as the girl with the baseball bat from the very last episode). The series is rather OC-heavy, and is written in [[Script Fic]] format, but don't let that scare you; the format is used well and captures the traditional witty banter and horror-comedy feel of the Buffyverse, and the [[O CsOCs]] are likeable and interesting. The classic ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' characters also feature heavily, as the older and established generation which are on call for when the big guns are needed... though apart from Xander (and eventually Spike, who has a major role in the second season), most of them remain secondary characters.

* ''Comments:'' Amazing. This will make you laugh, cry and feel everything in between. Really takes the 'Two sides of the same coin' to a whole new level and can stand as its own novel. Begins with Faith's return into Buffy's life all the way until the end. There are twists and developments that really keep you into it and the relationship between all the characters are very well written, concepts and problems of Buffy and Faith's relationship are dealt with extreme care and attention. Props to the writer who not only added in her original characters by developed them so well that they grow on you even if you don't like fanfics with [[O CsOCs]].

** Review: Okay, is so and so done. Good characterization and good dialogue. But Buffy verse is ''imbalance to death''. I mean, [[SG -1]] had taken by that moment entire Goa'uld Lords and are treated like kids against the scooby Gang. There is a lot, and I [[Science Is Wrong|mean a lot]] of ''military is bad'' going on and Willow... Also, Riley had to be the '''worst''' militar man in existence, literally [[False Dichotomy|supporting]] what could be nicely be called a semi-competent anarchist, third wold level trained group ([[Oddly Small Organization|who when having less than a hundred individuals, are supposed to protect the entire world, at all times/places]]), constantly sneer at the [[Armies Are Evil|Military]] Idiocy and all in all had caused [[Straw Hypocrite|to forces of Darkness]] to continue going (mostly) scott free to uphold a [[Masquerade]], [[Protagonist-Centered Morality|because Buffy]] is the [[Chosen One]], a supreme warrior and can handle (which, is odly, against U.S Militar mindset) it alone. Yeah, recommended but honestly for this troper, make it glad that is actually the Army and not a group of teenagers and co. who handle global problems.

** Seconding this story. Both 'verses are balanced perfectly. There's great characterization for both [[SG -1]] and the Scooby Gang, as well as the original characters. The plot is very engaging. Riley is great as a go-between and I like the character development he and his wife get.
