Review of chapter "Seven of Nine" from DarthTenebrus
Review:
Good Goddess! That's just frightening. A Cordette Collective that just enslaved the Slayer! I suppose it would be a good thing that Borg implants wouldn't take in vampires as they are already dead, else the CordyBorgs would have a supernatural army! Look out, First...
Edit/Reply : ROFLMFAO. Any more Borg stories featuring the Scoobies? I always love a good solid dose of horror, and the Borg certainly fit the bill...

If the last chapter has taught us anything it's to ask "Which hot chicks is Joe hooking up this week?" And the answer is all of them. Cordy as a rule 63 Thor is a a brilliant idea, Buffy as the blondest blonde who ever blonded is equally amusing. Was turning Harmony into Amora an homage to Dreamsmith's Supergoddess or did it just seem like an interesting fit? Wouldn't being a Norse Goddess mean Willow has quite a lot to do with Christmas via all of those Germanic Yule traditions imported into the holiday? I'd really forgotten just how fucked up Loki's sex life was: a stallion really? And his own brother while transformed into a woman? I thought that was just something Avengers fanfic authors did. Did you ever think about having this version of Cordy do the whole verily thy ass needeth swatting Buffy talk? Which chopstick is the fork is an awesome metaphor did you come up with it yourself or borrow it from somewhere? Great chapter very sad this one has come to an end.

Harmony was totally an homage to DreamSmith's story; he got to read this before I posted it. And yes, Loki had sex with a stallion while transformed into a mare. That's where Odin's mount Sleipnir comes from in mythology. So yes, Odin rides around on his semi-grandson. As for Thor/Loki, that's something I carry over from Blue Belle... but in mythology, Loki and Sif hooked up. That's where some versions of the myth have the hair-cutting thing starting; basically, Loki doing the haircut post-sex.
The chopstick thing is an Ellen quote regarding questions she gets about her and Portia.
I might actually be doing costumes 11-15 in "Ten Costumes". I have a few other ideas, including one that has Cordelia accidentally getting possessed by a cosplayer to invert the clichéd "Xander throws together a bunch of pieces to represent his Level 50 Everything D&D persona and becomes l33t" stories. :)

Lesbians are definitely more important than what your feelings towards Buffy are. Harmony passing off real aliens as photoshopped friends on deviant art is great idea and I loved the getting ahead pun. Also now I really want to go back and get caught up with Pyrrhic Victory.

Oh, I absolutely loved this one. You're right, it was a lot better to start this after some time had passed, because it offered much more. What I liked about this most of all was how the new characters fit with their original personalities, but we could see how they had merged, so that attributes of both the original and the new characters could be seen. Harmony as Amora was especially brilliant, as was Buffy as Sif. Meanwhile, Thor and Loki as Cordelia and Willow made a perfect backdrop for their rivalry while keeping some similarities with their original personalities, and enhancing them - so that Cordelia is more of a leader than ever, and Willow is much more a schemer and plotter. I'd love to see more of this one day, if the muse ever hit you and other projects were finished.

If you're going to be taking the legends into account as opposed to the comics or movies then Loki is a fire giant, not a frost giant, and is considered Thor's uncle, not brother as he was adopted as bloodbrother by Odin for his assistance in battle against the frost giants. http : // i125 . photobucket . com /albums/p52/KamuiSyvil/rule-63-thor-demotivational-poster-.jpg

And any or all of that might be at all relevant if we weren't talking about a story where one of the four main characters is a character that exists solely in Marvel's universe. I said I sampled bits of it, dear, not that I discarded Marvel's version entirely in favor of the myths. As quite obvious, again, by the presence of Amora.

Its been a fun ride. And Cordy as Thor, and other members of the Scooby Gang (Willow, Buffy) and one Cordette also changed makes this one WILD finale! And its been fun seeing Cordellia being the one changed other than Xander. Now, maybe its just me, but I smell some SEQUELS in the air!

I don't think I've ever gone back and made a serious story out of one of my one-shots, be it an "alternate costume" or an FFA.

Heh, it seems like a convergence of a few concepts here, and that perhaps we will get to see a completed picture of the gang in the other story. I had forgotten about the Cordylosophies picture, I really do like that one.

I'd hoped to be further along with PV by now so this would serve as an omake/outtake of sorts. The best laid plans of mice and men, though...

Oh, this was really nice. Mostly unimportant character interaction, but brilliant. Harmony as a Zeltron is simply perfect, and now she can drink and eat all she wants and not worry. The rest were interesting, even if we can't know hoe well it fits. Harmony was hilarious, and Willow's last words were awesome.

I'd hoped to have more of PVictory up by now because this largely serves as a happy go lucky omake to the main storyline. Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men...

Review of chapter "Bellatrix Lestrange" from deathgeonous
Review:
You know, you still have two more costumes to go. Just pointing that out. Well, thanks for writing what you did of this, bye for now.
Comments from author:
Yeah, I had two costumes to go and about a dozen ideas that I couldn't decide between. Which is a better problem to have than two costumes to go and no ideas at all, I suppose, but doesn't get me any closer to having the last two chapters done. :)

While I read all of them insofar, Jean Grey was my absolute favorite for two(?) reasons. Wait, I think three. Jean and Emma are my favorite X-Men pairing due to sexual tension etc.etc.; Willow and Cordelia is one of the oddest and most interesting pairings; Willow and Cordelia were not the characters I was expecting which made it priceless.
Comments from author:
I try and have a bit of fun when I can. I mean, I could have done Cordelia Frost and Willow Grey but... well, one, there's already a Cordelia Frost. And two, it would have been far too obvious. :)
