Evil author = one who doesn't finish stories they start.
And this is a terrific story, so please stop being one of the evilest of authors.

bloody amazing, every story i read of your's is bloody fantastic!!!!!

I do like this one, it is one of the more, unique I guess, Buffy Stargate crossovers. So, thanks for writing this, bye for now.

Two nice new chapters for me to read and I wasn't dissappointed. They were great. The only thing I noticed was that Faith 'Jordan' was noticably quiet during the exchange between SG and the Protectorate. Update again soon!

Well, in my head, she's still trying to adjust to the fact that she used to be a murderer, even a reformed one. Kind of a lot to take in, I'm thinking. For now, she's just trying to understand what the hell's going on, and since she doesn't really speak the language, she had to wait for the translations just like the rest of SG-1 that weren't Daniel.

As for updating, I'm trying, but new jobs, working six to seven days a week kinda stilt the flow of writing. :(

Veni, vidi, veni.

awesome chapter, I've never been into slash fic but this one looks promising! Hope to see more soon!

oooohhhhhh more chapters pretty please

This must be the third or fourth time I've tried to read this story, because I love Stargate crossovers, and I love Buffy pseudo-reincarnated fics, and I love the idea of Buffy and Sam as sisters, but I can never seem to get past chapter five or six before I give up on it. Like another reviewer, I think the info dumps are a major problem. They read like authorial insertions, there's no sense of character in them, they have no tension, and it disrupts the entire story in a really aggravating way. I'm also very turned off by the way you often refer to things like the reader should know what you're talking about, when you've yet to give us a single clue- for example, in the first chapter, you mention that Jordan had given Buffy the nickname of "Eli," but you provide NO information about who Jordan is. That's not revealing things slowly- it's just shoddy writing. A fanfic should read very much like a good book, and in good books, when a character is mentioned or introduced, the audience actually is given some idea of who they are, even if the story is third person limited. Here, there's information tossed out willy-nilly with no grounding, no explanation, and no depth. You actually build up the Buffy/Sam relationship, but everything else is two-dimensional at best, and horribly confusing to boot.

Another reason I just can't get through this fic is that I'm having a very hard time seeing any real traces of Buffy in your Eli. She doesn't talk like Buffy. She doesn't have Buffy's fatal flaws. There's not even a trace of a recognizable emotional arc from the Buffy we know. Instead, you have some super genius, doesn't-even-want-to-be-a-normal-girl, miniature Carter, who is a very believable little sister to Sam, but seems to bare no relationship to Buffy at all. The challenge to a reincarnation-type fic is to meld together the new personality and the old one, to let the readers see BUFFY, even though she's different in this life than she was back in Sunnydale, and for me, this fic fails on that front. Strategically, making her relationship with Jordan an integral part of "Eli's" character right from the beginning was a poor idea, as that's just one more thing that seems to make your character an OC who doesn't really have any Buffy to her at all. It would have been much more effective to let us see Eli independently of a relationship, and then to build it over time in a way that FELT like the way Buffy is in love. Instead, it comes off as Random!Slash and makes your characterization that much more distant from the character you're supposedly portraying.

If you're referring to Buffy & Faith's life story when you say 'info dump', it was just to get it out of the way, as it has no bearing on the story as a whole. Eli and Jordan are not, and let me repeat this, ARE NOT Buffy and Faith. Did you miss the A/N where there is already a Buffy and a Faith in that dimension. They are the reincarnation of their souls from the other dimension, not their personalities. The core of who they were are still there, Buffy's sense of responsibility and willingness to do whatever it took to protect family and friends, Faith's wildness and willingness to rush headlong into a fight. That's still there, but Buffy's California raised, weighed down by the weight of the world because of her Calling personality simply isn't there, nor is Faith's probably abuse related psychological damage and emotional instability. They grew up under completely (or in Jordan's case, no nearly as damaging) circumstances.

While I've never thought that Buffy was as stupid or vapid as a lot of fics insinuate, Eli, through an accident of birth, processes information faster and uses more of her brain, which, yes, makes her a genius, who is being raised by her genius sister that encourages her scholastically, while being ignored by her father. She has never been any other way, so to her, the way she currently is right now IS normal to her. Jordan had somewhere to go (her sister-in-law, Janet Fraiser) when she ran away from her abusive father, instead of putting up with it for who knows how long, then living on the streets, before watching the only person that cared be torn apart right before her eyes.

Oh yeah, by the time this story is in motion, both girls are in their late teens, and already in an established relationship before they got their memories back. The reason that there was no previous indication that Jordan was Faith, is because it was supposed to be a surprise, as Faith was never mentioned in the original plan by the PTBs.

Sorry that you can't get past those chapters, though.

Wonderful update! So glad the Protectorate is actually PROTECTING their Champions. And them putting Jacob in his place? Priceless.

CT.

As with all of your stories, great work. Keep it up!

I like it that Buffy/Elizabeth is not having to handle situations blindly. For once she is being given full disclosure so that she can make decisions based on all of the facts. These new PTB seem to give their champions a fighting chance.

that's what I'm going for.

Love the update. I especially love the way the beings told off Jacob & then Selmak's reaction. :)

I had just read the last three chapters this afternoon, and was wondering what had happened with this story, and now you've gone and updated it. Yea! The story is still alive!

> Then *you* will be de­liv­ered unto the An­cients to fur­ther *their* train­ing and *their* ed­u­ca­tion.

I was unclear about the meaning of this sentence, since it mixes 2nd and 3rd person pronouns. It could be read as meaning that the purpose of delivering Eli and Jordan to the Ancients is so that the Ancients can get further training and education (which could be possible, seeing as how the Protectorate seems kinda down on the capabilities of the Ancients).

Thank you for noticing that. I've gone back to correct it. It's Eli & Jordan's training and education that will be addressed, not the Ancients. In essence, they will end up in many way like the Ancients that the SGC un-iced. There will be references to her further into the story.

Good stuff. Please continue.

This is an interesting story. The characterization isn't always spot-on, but it's not bad. It's definitely entertaining. :)
