Review of chapter "Part Three" from draconis

Review:

Very nice story. Imaginative, funny, well written. Sending Olaf to Hyboria?...inspired.

It's a lethal Shrek...with horns...who gets to 'make merry sport' with the princess!

Much more interesting than Dreamwork's mushroom-eared ogre.

Review:

Wow. You've convinced me: I now consider Olaf as the most underrated character on Buffy. This series is awesome. :-)

Review of chapter "Part Three" from DavidFraser

Review:

A glorious romp through the world of REH - don't think he would complain... Might even have been published in Weird Tales.

Comments from author:

Thank you! I've always been a big fan of REH's Conan tales - not so much of the comics adaptations, nor of most of the 'Conan' stories written by others after his death - and I tried to do his world justice.

Review of chapter "Part One" from ShyBob

Review:

How the heck did I miss this??!? I thought I'd been keeping up with the adventures of our favorite troll. This fic is definitely in-character for both genres; I was amazed at how well you were able to integrate Olaf into the Conan storyline. This is definitely up there with Mint Witch's "Bit Parts" in terms of fleshing out minor BtVS characters. And yes, I did vote for it at COA =)

Comments from author:

Thank you! I've been a Conan fan for many years and Olaf has been a speciality of mine for a long time too.

Review:

A ripping yarn indeed. It must be thirty odd (some of them very odd) years since I read any Conan tales...maybe its time to dust them off.

Great idea, great story and as usual excellently written. Best 'Troll story' so far.

All the best,
DaveT.

Comments from author:

Thank you! A 'ripping yarn' was exactly the effect that I was going for.

Review of chapter "Part Three" from misterq

Review:

Aww, a nice story. It would be interesting to follow Conan and Olaf on their journey. And now that Olaf has found a possible long lasting relationship - and mellowed some, it would be interesting to see what would happen if some of the Scoobies were to cross over - somehow... maybe. :)

Comments from author:

Thank you! I don't think I'll send the Scoobies there - it would be hard to avoid it being very similar to 'Tabula Avatar'.

Review of chapter "Part One" from MarcusRowland

Review:

He always drinks the potion...

You realise that once this is finished you have to write a Discworld crossover with Cohen the Barbarian?

Comments from author:

Although I'm a big Discworld fan somehow I've never had the inclination to write Discworld fic.

Review of chapter "Part One" from misterq

Review:

You defiantly captured the spirit of the Conan stories. It will be very interesting to see how Olaf can help out his shield brother. Hope this is continued!

Review of chapter "Part One" from Feyn

Review:

I read this yesterday on your blog, and it's just as insane now as it was then -- in that good 'I can't believe that I can't stop reading' way. It's obvious that the world really was crying out for this crossover (just really quietly), and I'm glad that you wrote it.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the conclusion.

Thanks.

Comments from author:

Thank you! There turned out to be more tale to tell than I had thought and Part Two isn't the conclusion after all.
