This has got to be one of the most stupid things I have ever read! Yet I couldnt stop reading it. I only wished it could have been longer and the scoobs and the charmed one could have kicked some major ass together. I also would have lot to see that first month of xan and magical babies

Review of chapter "Chapter Three: Party at P³" from Vassago
Review:
Yeah, can't see this (sex with a male just because of sex change) happening with post-canon Xander at all. Even transformed into a heterosexual females body, his mind would rally against it and rage, because canon Xander has never showed signs of being bisexual or homosexual. There'd be a ton of psychological baggage and horrible, horrible trauma if it did happen. You mention some of the freaking out, but don't go into it at all beyond that.
I see it even less likely that his closest friends would almost immediately dress him up like a High School Slut in order to get him laid. If he's really as beautiful as they keep telling him he is, then he wouldn't need to dress up like that.
I give it a 7 because it's written well, and it's got a good premise, despite my personal dislike of it's execution.
EDIT: No, not really a slasher. I enjoy a good slash story, not so much when it takes an openly straight character mid, or end, series and turns them exclusively homosexual (instead of bi-sexual like you did here) out of almost nowhere without really solving the problems that come with a very dramatic sexual orientation change (and then waving it off with "he was hiding it. REALLY WELL. Even though he had sex with, like, 4+ women and showed no signs during the series"). Unfortunately, in fanfiction, that seems rather common.
While you nicely solved that with the "he's been doing it privately for a while, but was ashamed of it at the time" spiel (which I apparently didn't notice when I wrote this review, how odd). However, the whole "get-laid-NAO" thing just...turns me off. It's my dislike of being pressured into something shining through. If I'm pressured into something I'll screw it up completely on purpose.
Comments from author:
So, not a slasher, I presume. I'm not going to argue about that, I'm just going to say that I write slash and poly as well as het. And Xander's usually somewhere in the middle of it. And, for this story, it was stated by the others, and by Xander, that him being into dudes wasn't just because of the sex change.
Thanks.
