I must say, having just clicked on this story...I find something disturbing, or perhaps alluring...at the very top.

Warnings: Some strong language, and a little lesbian wild monkey sex.

I WILL NOT STAND FOR LESBIAN WILD MONKEYS!

Lesbian Willows, on the other hand, I will gladly envision.

Had to think for a minute which story this was...then I remembered, Willow, sexy terminators, robotic demons and such like.

The 'wild monkey sex' reference is a running joke with a couple of my regular readers.

Good story, great job meshing the terminator and the Buffy gang. Had some really good funny parts and the whole story was again well written like all your stories.
Thanks!

Thank-you kindly.

Loved it! Funny, great episode to cross over with, the blending of dialogue and bits from Buffy and the Terminator movie was just fantastic. And Cameron dying made me sad, which is both good and bad in a way.
Yes, I'd love some kind of sequel. Thanks for writing!

Thank-you, it was fun writing that.

I did toy with writing a sequel for a while, there's several BtVS episodes with robots in so there's plenty of choice, but I don't know if I'll ever get round to doing it. Plus they say the sequel is never as good as the original.

A sequel is a vague possibility but don't hold your breath...sorry.

Cheers,
Dave.

Good fic :)

Thanks.

Really like the way you're totally twisting the two stories.

Loved the scene with Cameron loading the batteries into the Big Boy 3000! Managing to stay true to the Terminator...yet not. I was imagining the shop proprietress scrabbling back in...shock, nay...fear? Very clever!

I wasn't sure, but was Giles' thought about the giant kitten roaming around London a Monty Python reference?

Giant Kittens was 'The Goodies', and is an idea that really needs expanding upon. can you imagine Willow chasing a giant kitten through London?

"He's so cute," cooed Willow.

"But he's a hundred feet tall and just knocked over the Post Office Tower!" explained Buffy.

"Yeah," sighed Willow, "but he's soooo cute!"

Thanks for your comment and for stirring up the plot bunnies.

This was totally awesome!!!

Glad you enjoyed it.

For some reason, Carstairs description reminds me of Jimmy Edwards.
As for Cameron deciding upon her surname, that was too darn funny.

Carstairs; actually I was thinking of one of the RAF pilots out of ''allo, 'allo'. And Cameron...well it had to be done.

Cheers,
DaveT.

Great chapter. Keep up the good work.

Thank-you.

DaveT.

Dude you killed Cameron, so not cool but now there's a chance of Willow Buffy, Yum!

Thanks for sharing

Well I'm afraid that's what happens to good Terminators...they die saving the human.

I enjoyed this so much that it inspired artwork from me. I hope you don't mind. And one of them is a title image that you can feel free to use if you want. Or you can run screaming from the room yelling "Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!" and I'll delete it. :)

Thank-you very ver5y much! That's about the first time anyones done that for me (without a bit of grovling on my behalf!). When I work out how to use it as a banner (I'm not very good with all this computer stuff y'know [leans heavily on his walking stick]) I will.

That's so much,
DaveT.

gee, I was hoping for happily ever after with Cameron & Willow . Maybe in a sequel? It'd be weird if "Cameron" showed up again. Even if they don't get involved romantically, I'm sure Willow & company remember the names & such Cam. cited & will remember "Tara" ; so in '4th season' Tara might still end up as a friend / involved in their activities, prompting another robot from the future.
* I don't think objects from the future vanish once their future is gone, it's just that they future they're from is gone (note Jess/Derek came from different futures). But Cam. might not have known that...

The objects from the future vanishing thing was something I got from a very old sci-fi story. It also avoids any messy clean-up/explanations. We won't know until we travel in time. Slso maybe it just vanishes from that timeline...I don't know

Sequel, I'm thinking about it.

Cheers,
DaveT

good

Great fun! You matched the tone of the first season very well.

Your writing delivers an organic mix of the corniness of Arnie's Terminators with the snarkiness of Buffy's Scoobies. Props of course to the respective writers of the dialogue which you adapted/adopted to hilarious effect.

I didn't particularly like your final twist on Moloch's demise, (a minor point of character development), but perhaps you could tie it into a possible sequel. ;)

Willow’s development was accelerated in a near-canonically believable way, in manner if not time (I think the Hell-mouth didn't just evolve Cameron), but perhaps that’s wishful thinking.

Posting two short chapters at the time recalled watching Buffy with its act/commercial breaks, and the short time between posts felt like watching a mini-arc from the original series; but palatably bite sized.

I haven't seen much of the Sarah Conner Chronicles (TSSC), but that series seems to lack the humor of the Terminator 2 movie, and the way you blended Cameron's humanity (taken up a notch) with T-101 robotic inanity was masterful. The TSSC producers would do well to hire you if they are green-lit another season.

Mixing “English-English” and American idiom was pleasantly jarring (a witty story helps); did you learn that and Crossover proficiency at the “University Collage London” [sic] mentioned in your profile? ;) I only went to College, but I do sometimes feel that my education comprised a smattering of snippets pasted together to make a degree.

Thank-you for your thought provoking and generous review...if only my English teachers could see me now! Ok I know I'm far from perfect but I've learnt more about English Language in three years on TTH than I ever did at school.

My connection with UCL is purely a non-academic one.

Moloch's end, hmm maybe you have a point. I read it through before I posted and it did seem a little abrupt, but it fitted in with the plot line and there were time constraints so I went with it.

I also thought I was going a bit fast with the Willow 'gay-now' thing. But when I looked back at the series it did seem she turned gay more or less over night. So again I went for it! I think it worked.

Chapter length; I've found that a chapter of about 2500 words give or take a couple of hundred has improved my style and posting two together gives the reader something to get his/her teeth into. And yes I suppose it is reminiscent of TV add-breaks...not thought of it like that before.

As for a sequel, well there's a good chance of it but at the moment I've got nothing approaching a plot-line.

We have three robots (I think )in canon.
Ted; just makes me angry and I don't like watching that episode.
April; perky robot girl looking for Warren Meers, of the three this is most likely.
Buffy-bot; this opens several cans or worms. The thing with Glory, the aftermath with Buffy being dead. Not sure I want to go there. Any Buffy-bot story I think would be darker.

Anyway cheers for your comments,

DaveT.

Seems solid enough right up until the end. I'm not sure that the hackneyed 'must terminate self' ending really fits with what came before. Also, considering the level of robotics that already exists in the present day of the Buffy universe (Buffy-bot, Joyce's psychotic robot boyfriend, etc), it's more than a little naive for Cameron to assume that her presence is what causes Skynet to come into being.

Its not the robotics, its the chip thats the problem(at least I always thought it was). Also ther is the thing that whatever sacrifices you make Skynet keeps getting built! Damn that Skynet.

Cheers,
DaveT.

Firstly, VERY original idea for a story; the concept of the 'Cameron' Terminator being sent back to seduce Willow- although you could have put a BIT more thought into the name- was an original touch on its own, but the subsequent fight between Moloch and Cameron added another interesting touch to the story.

However, I have one essential problem; the whole sub-plot with Buffy's own 'feelings' for Willow.

I don't object to the IDEA of that pairing per se- everyone's entitled to their opinions, after all-, but it played such a fundamentally minor role in the overall plot it seemed like you just stuck it in because you liked it without ever intending to go all the way.

As it was, I felt that the 'Buffy issue' somewhat detracted attention from the more interesting central plot of Willow and Cameron's relationship; some readers might start wondering if anything's going to happen between those two only to be let down when it doesn't, thus stopping them appreciating the Willow/Cameron pairing (Which, as I've said, I found MUCH more interesting)

I've never actually considered a Willow/Buffy pairing before until a friend told me that some people thought that Willow was Buffy's soul-mate! I put it in as a minor sub-plot (nothing was ever going to happen between the two characters) with an eye towards a future sequel.

If Buffy is in a relationship with Willow (or indeed anyone other than Angel) so many interesting things could happen, so many characters don't die...and it wouldn't disturb the 'timeline' of the story too much.

Thank-you for your comments they were quite helpful (I have a tendency to put things into a story simply coz it seemed like a good idea at the time!). However, if/when I do a sequel the Buffy/Willow thing will be more important and this gives it some background.

Cheers,
DaveT.
