Just found this. A shame this was never continued, I can see this going in so many great AUs.
Alot better introduction than that 'amulet with Spike in it got sent to the SGC' story.

Thank you! I have half the next chapter written but I got sidetracked and I'd almost forgotten about it. I will get back to it eventually - I have a romance planned for Spike that I'm pretty sure no-one else has ever thought of even though she's perfect for him (and no, it's not Vala).

Wow this is irritating. A wonderful start to a story and no more to read? Sigh.
Comments from author:
Sorry! I got sucked into my wife Curiouslywombat's Lord of the Rings obsession, through having to beta her stories and then getting the Lord of the Rings: War in the North game, and at the moment the only thing I'm working on is a LotR story that I'm not posting here. However Sky is currently re-showing the whole of Stargate SG-1 at two episodes a day and hopefully that will get me back into the right frame of mind to continue this.

!!! I don't know how I didn't find this one before now. This story-line has a lot of potential; I love what there is of it. A remarkably non-cracky way to shoe-horn Spike into the SGC and drag the rest of the 'verse in after him.
Comments from author:
Thank you! This story is put to one side for the moment while I concentrate on my 'Tara in the Age of Conan' story. Once that's finished I'll return to it.
The genesis of this one was my long-held opinion that Buffy is all wrong for Spike because she'll age and he won't. I've thought of several more viable partners for him, such as Viconia (life expectancy 2,000 years) in 'Tabula Avatar' and the Adorable BuffyBot (immortal as long as she gets regular servicing) in several stories, and it occurred to me that there were several likely prospects in Stargate SG-1...

Sorry, at the moment I'm busy with something else that's been occupying most of my time for the past two months - a non-Buffyverse Lord of the Rings crossover totally devoid of Spike. I have half the next chapter of this one written but I need to re-watch a couple of Stargate episodes, and one Buffy episode, before I can finish it and I'm too caught up in the other thing to do that for the time being.

Nice first chapter, I'm definitely interested in seeing where this is going.
Comments from author:
Thank you! Unfortunately this is being delayed because I've promised to concentrate on the 'Tabula Avatar' series for a while and also another project, to do with the WriterCon UK meeting in August, has been occupying me pretty much all the time for the past month. I'll return to it when I get the chance.

One chapter in and I am epically in love with this story! The characterizations are brilliantly written, pitch-perfect blend of comedy and storyline. Seriously if I could I'd marry this fic and have adorable fic!babies with it I would :D
Comments from author:
Thank you very much! I have made a start on the next chapter but unfortunately it's fairly low on my list of priorities, as I'm committed to doing more of 'Tabula Avatar' and 'Came the Thunder' before I do anything else.

Fascinating setup. This is different - and intriguing.
I'll be watching for more of this one.
Comments from author:
Thank you! I have a chunk of the next chapter written but right now I'm concentrating on 'Debt of Blood', and the Epilogue to 'Life, Resumed', so it might be a few days before I get back to 'Another Girl, Another Planet'.
Please sir, can I have some more? *puppy dog eyes* Please? I really like it, i would love to read more......
There are a few spelling issues scattered through the chapter, noticeable enough that my eyes 'ping' on them, but there aren't too many to make it hard to read. Although I'm trying to decide if the recon/raccoon in Buffy's little speech is intentional. It sounds like something she might say.........
Comments from author:
Thank you.
What spelling issues? I've double-checked and I can't find any. There were a couple of ambiguous spellings, for instance 'Dr Angleman' is listed as 'Dr Angelman' on IMDb but almost nowhere else and so I've used the 'Angleman' spelling, and Janet Fraiser's surname looks wrong but that odd variant of 'Fraser' really is the way that they spell it on 'Stargate SG-1', but that's all I can find. Please point out anything I've missed.
The recon/raccoon is a direct quote from the dialogue in 'The I in Team'.

I like this one! You are not trying (as so many do) to make Spike a good guy. He is still, as he puts it, a Big Bad. Having that chip did not make him helpless as the Scoobies believed. The only reason he didn't kill them was because he needed them. An indirect killing was probably still possible. For example: Wedging doors closed and then setting the building on fire. On the other hand, Spike rarely lied. He can the SGC could probably come up with a reasonable working relationship.
Comments from author:
They managed a reasonable working relationship with Ba'al on occasion, although later than the date of this story, so Spike shouldn't pose them too much of a problem.

Spike fits in with SGC remarkably well. Hs attitude should mix with O'Neil in very interesting ways. I especially like that this is an earlier Spike, before he lost his edge. And I don't mean the slayer-whiped vampire with a soul, I mean before everyone, including the writers started treating him like an idiot. The Spike we first met was methodical intelligent manipulative and capable. He just lacked patience and focus. When he really wanted something, there was little that could stand in his way. Not even Angelus.
Among the military, with a clear alien threat Spike should be able to retain that edge. His attitude with authority might cause some problems of course, but a long campaign might teach him something about patience. There is much room for interesting character interactions. More please

Thank you!
You've pretty much described the thoughts that inspired me to write this fic.

Loving this so far--great start! I don't know whether to bless you for starting something that looks like it will be great fun, or curse you for starting another WIP. Bless you, on balance--I've always liked your take on Stargate.

Thank you! I didn't start this intentionally; I was doing a bit of research for something else, something grabbed my attention, and suddenly I found that I was writing this story.
