Never read/seen St Trinians, and never been tempted - but I've read stuff of yours before and loved it (I don't think I could review at the time cos I wasn't registered) so I gave it a go. Completely awesome. Who could fit into that scenario and hold their own better than Buffy and Willow?
I can imagine Ms Fritton as the kind of Watcher who initially approached Faith - just unflappably sailing through chaos!
Thanks for the entertainment.

Glad you liked the story - I hadn't seen the 2007 St. Trinian's film when I wrote most of, but it's a pretty good portrayal of the school as I imagine it, much better than the one made in 1980. There was a new film in December that looks like it'll be a lot of fun too.
Wonderful story. Great to see it completed, but also bad because it means there won't be any more to look forward to.

I thought it was high time I got it done - next I really ought to look at the unfinished Modesty Blaise crossover...

Review of chapter "XIII & Epilogue" from DaveTurner
Review:
Six years in the writing...that must be some sort of record; and yes I do think it was worth waiting for. Mind-you, I'm sure that wasn't how you meant to end it when you began!
Thanks for completing.

Review of chapter "XIII & Epilogue" from Waterfall
Review:
Yay, you finished! :~D This was worth waiting for; a very funny and believable finish. That they would have a missile launcher doesn't really surprise me, but that Miss Fritton knew about Gwendolyn I didn't see coming! In hindsight, it makes perfect sense though. :~D
Comments from author:
The launcher was actually mentioned several chapters earlier - I always try to play fair with stuff like that. And of course Miss Fritton knew!

I always like to see an update to any of your stories as it gives me a change to reread one of your many little gems. I was so happy to see another update to this lovely story. And rereading it turned what had been a perfectly rotten day into a joyful ending. But this story is now over. Sigh. Oh, well. I loved it and I laughed a lot as I read it, but now I have another new story of yours to look forward to. I do have a new story of yours to look forward to, right? Thanks for all the laughs and the jolly bit of entertainment.

I'm hoping to finish some of my other unfinished stories before I do anything major and new. Can't make any promises as to how soon anything will happen.

Review of chapter "XIII & Epilogue" from batzulger
Review:
Marcus, I've been following your work since the first release of FF I over BBSes, and this is easily the best stuff yet. Great vintage stuff. Maybe one of these days I'll try a Tom Sharpe X-Over.
Comments from author:
OOOH - that would be fun!

that was hysterical and quick! thank you! *laughs*
Comments from author:
It's a very odd coincidence - I finished it yesterday and posted it to my livejournal, then it was reviewed here and at fanfiction.net by you and someone else who (presumably) didn't know I was about to post the final part.

I really enjoyed this story, it was wonderfully funny and nicely dramatic by turns. The way that you merged the two universes was brilliant and remarkably plausible.
It's great!

This is brilliant! I've only seen the most recent movie, but reading this has made me want to find out more about the other versions of St. Trinian's. I'm very much looking forwards to the next chapter! :~)
Comments from author:
Won't be soon, I'm bogged down in an RPG design project that'll take at least a couple more months, but I do plan to finish it.

I really hope you are going to finish this story. I think it's just great. We had Belles of St. Trinian's in our family library when I was growing up and I studied the cartoons well before I could read the captions. Can't wait to see how you are going to handle this.
Comments from author:
Probably won't be for a few months, I'm working on an RPG design project and have to give it priority. But I haven't forgotten this story. There's a new St. Trinian's film, by the way, came out in December.

This. Is. Amazing. St Trinian's brought into the 21st century, Willow in what is surely her spiritual home and Buffy teaching mayhem to those in least need of her help. What a horrible place to leave us though... a real cliffhanger, with another Dr Strangelove quote to boot. Top stuff, KUTGW!
