I love Xander and I love it when people get creative with stories about him -- I really enjoy x-overs and I happen to really like most of the characters you have pulled together, but . . . I have to stop reading this -- it is way too convoluted -- I know this is make believe, sci-fi and your own story, but so much does not make sense -- why are there 2 or 3 fathers for each baby? Just a way to pull more characters into this? Thought I caught some of the incest stuff, but I actually object even more to using a baby's DNA to make other babies. Wyatt never should have been included.
So many characters with altered backgrounds and relationships just makes it too hard to follow or remember chapter to chapter -- you have to spend so much time explaining everyone's background and connection there isn't much room for actual story, but I wish you luck -- you have certainly set-up a complicated AU. I have read and enjoyed many of your stories and greatly respect your ability, but with this one I can only wish you luck and hope you can make it work.

'blink blink' - what the...???? well - you've made me really confused. The amount of people and information in this story is massive... and the words simply don't match(the amount of people involved and the crazy plots and hints make me expect a book the size of LotR... or several). Normally I'd just say 'rewrite' or something, but from what I know of your stories this could simply be one story with lots of prequels and sequels.... So gonna wait with rating and such cause right now even reading through it is confusing.... Hope for more soonish:) or just a new story in general:P Have fun writing... I think

I enjoyed this a lot. I don't understand why you would have Pru/Andy and John/Mary half sibling soul mates however. I would love to read more - especially how he met and intereacted with all these diverse people. The Care Bear revenge was awesome!

You are the second who spotted the incest overtone, I completely missed that while I was writing this. I'm going to make a correction on that.
Thanks Calia

I really love this story but I'm finding Dean and Wyatt as fathers, or rather who they are fathers to, a bit squicky. Maybe it's just the way it's put down. Dean being the father to his own mother and Wyatt being the father of his aunt ... put in such blunt terms seems very incest-y, grandfather paradox-ish, even if it's not. I'd feel a whole lot better about it if Wyatt was the father of Mary and Dean of Prue.
I'm sorry, I hate giving reviews like this even if it is considered constructive criticism. I always feel so very guilty because I really do love the story (all your stories, really) and I'll still love even if nothing is changed.

Wonderful story! I hope we get to see pregnant Xander making the Powers miserable in some way. And the Island sounds like it will be a busy and fascinating place.
