Realised that for some reason I forgot to put these up. This time I've ordered them in groups:

Review by sp23


Um... thedeadlyhook? molly_may? Any thoughts at all? Or are you just paralysed with not caring anymore?


But I have a theory of my own... Because lets face it, Buffy looks *nothing* like she did on the show (who is this round-faced, button-nosed young woman people keep addressing as Buffy?). So, I think the real Buffy (and the real Dawn) are in Rome. This Buffy (and Dawn) are from a parallel universe, where incidents not entirely unlike those in 'our verse' took place, but with the odd differences of course [insert ret-cons]. Oh and Willow mindwiped everyone so they *think* this is the real Buffy. :)

*has brainwave*

When they brought the other Buffy and Dawn through, parallel!Amy and parallel!Warren hitched a ride. That, I think, explains everything! My theory is neat! *g*

Thanks! As to "not commenting" - I understand it. I see that more and more people who initially were enthusiastic, stop caring and withdraw from discussing.

I suppose it's a matter of high expectations - the result doesn't satisfy because people were expecting a masterpiece.

After the "cheese" comment at the end of the first issue I decided to condition myself to a funny, cheesy entertainment - a project Joss accepted to survive during the drought season. S8 works better this way.

Also - not enough time!

I wasn't really. I just wanted a good yarn. And instead I got a Buffy who looks all wrong, stupid ret-cons and baddies I don't care about.

S8 works better this way.
Absolutely. *I* think it's crack!fic.
