Great work. I loved almost every one :) It is really funny that Wowbagger is now wary of Sunnydale and even Buffy Summers in particular. After Giles little trick as a Fyarl maybe he should just avoid the town entirely!

These are great fun! Wowbagger's insults are hilarious and appropriate--I can't wait to see what you come up with next. I'm also, for some reason, really enjoying the alphabetization. Are you going to do the Angel crew too? I hope so. :)

Thanks. I was only planning to do the BtVS main characters. I have an arc that ends with Willow, and I think adding Wesley and Winnifred (he's going by their given names, as much as possible) would mess it up. I'll consider it, tho -- I'm kind of stuck on Riley right now....

Review of chapter "Alexander Lavelle Harris" from jrabbit
Review:
You know if anyone reads this who doesn't know who wowbagger is, you are going to get some serious flames! May I recommend the drop down list of characters on the ffa page - just to make sure you don't miss anyone out.
EDIT: I just meant that you could use the list to find out who needs insulting without missing anyone out.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what your comment means. I found a page called Fic for All (re FFA), but it had no drop-down list. I don't know what this drop-down list is supposed to do, either. And what are they flaming me about if they don't know who Wowbagger is -- for not explaining who Wowbagger is? Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, so I can stop doing it wrong.
--Edit--
Sorry, it *does* have a drop-down list, but Wowbagger isn't in it. Plus I'm not pairing him with anyone -- or maybe I'm pairing him (non-romantically) with everyone.
Review of chapter "Alexander Lavelle Harris" from Ponder
Review:
*snerk* Cute.
One minor nitpick, and it's just about your story notes rather than the story itself: Wowbagger wasn't a time traveler. The book made a point that he wouldn't be able to actually insult everyone, because many many generations would pass during his quest to insult everyone.
Comments from author:
Humph. You're right (sort of). People do tell him that his quest is impossible due to the births and deaths happening all the time, and he doesn't mention that time travel solves his problems -- hence implying he's not traveling in time.
That's a problem for me, tho, because I need the characters not to be insulted in alphabetico-temporal order. At the very least, I need him to be able to get from Alexander Harris all the way to Willow Rosenberg in the space of their lifetimes!
Given that time travel is common in the HHGG stories, and Wowbagger has access to immense wealth (he cleaned up on high-yield long-term investments), I'm going to ignore that, and have him zipping thru time as well as space. I'd say that it was an AU HHGG, but every HHGG is an AU HHGG, so it'd be redundant!
