Nice job. Very well written and entertaining. I really liked how , far from each other, some of the Scoobies got nonetheless some disturbing things happening to them. Hyenas, werewolf,.. or good ones. Giles and Jenny at last together. Yay! Fate, I guess.
Poor Buffy.. Not being chosen means she's nothing special, just normal girl. Sucks! *G*
Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the review. You're welcome! Glad that you've liked my story, too.
Angel and Spike's absence are easily enough explained. Without the Hellmouth there, Angel would never go to Sunnydale, and he's either dead, sucking on rats, or fighting the good fight somewhere else.
Spike (and Drusilla) are probably in Cleveland or in another Hellmouth, seeking a cure for her acute garlic poisoning.

Yeah, that's pretty much it, thanks for figuring it out, CrystalBlaze. Cheers!

I really liked this. kind of sad you didn't mention Angel or Spike but ok. loved that Giles and Jenny got their happy ending. would possibly like a sequel to see if Willow and Oz or Tara would eventually meet. Buffy isn't a slayer how come? Anyanka going after the religious and having more business than ever that sounds about right, LOL did I just say that. :))

Thanks. Sorry for not mentioning Angel or Spike - I just couldn't pin them down; Buffy's not a Slayer just because it could've happen if Anyanka messed with probability laws somehow... and shes' not religious, just sneakier than in canon.

I liked your imaginative story. I felt they all actually seemed to be doing better than they did in Sunnydale. Well, except for Xander maybe. But Tara made it to Portland! I hope it was Portland, Oregon and not the other one in Maine. We treat our lesbians well here. Lol! Well done and thanks for the beginnings of a lot of 'what if?' speculations now running through my brain.
Comments from author:
Yeah, I meant the one in Oregon. Considering that I don't know where Tara came from I feel that it's no more incredible than Sunnydale. Glad to hear that I gave you ideas, too. Thanks for the review!

Interesting thoughts as to what would happen to everyone if someone wished the Hellmouth away. I'm surprised that hadn't happened before. Who wouldn't wish it away?

I dunno; I had this idea going in my head for a while, but finally was able to pin it down and publish it here. Glad that you've liked it.

I would have preferred it if you'd shown what Angel and Spike were up to in this new world- did Angel get out of the gutter he fell into after the doughnut shop incident on his own or was he still there?-, but otherwise you did have some interesting ideas here; Cordelia more well-rounded as a person, Xander's greater confidence leading into arrogance without anyone to keep him grounded, Willow more willing to express herself as she's not 'focusing' her attention on Xander, Oz hitting the big-time without the Scoobies to give him a reason to stay put, and Buffy just doing whatever her parents do because there's no higher power to 'guide' her...
Not only did you obviously put some thought into their actions in this reality, but everything made PERFECT sense; congratulations!

Eh, I just couldn't fit in Angel and Spike, they're just too unpredictable for me to handle in my fics (usually). Thanks for the compliment, I tried; glad to see that you've liked my story. Cheers!
