In the canon, Mal--Moloch--pretty well cemented Giles' worry about codifying the stuff he deals with into anything online.

Infernal Machine indeed.

awesome work

If I had a holodeck I would tell it to convert my favorite novel length fanfictions into hardcover books so I could read them like that. Or just do the same thing with a replicator. There are a couple fanfics I would love to read as a musty old book. When I worked at Goodwill I set aside and bought any book printed over 80 years ago just to have some nice smelling old books on my shelfs.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players... Nice play with the fourth wall =).

See ya!!.

This was cute, but that last line "the library and its lone occupant faded away" was rather heart-wrenchingly depressing. Very nice work.

Perhaps it's the tired speaking, but this freaked me out a little. My mind instantly began trying to figure out why Willow and Xander were on a starship. My first thought was that they had survived to the future and were recalling the past. That couldn't be right though... why would they have lived that long?

The next thing to hit me was that the show of Buffy was never real. In the world of fiction, her story was just a program. Suddenly all the characters became less genuine than before.

o.O

I read into this too much, but regardless, I thank you for the little trip I just went on.

cute, short but sweet, would have liked to see more though.
