So far, so good.

Since this is a Star Trek crossover, the first person that comes to mind is Guinan.

Hmmm. Interesting idea, but no, not in this case. Good guess though.

Great story. Keep up the good work.

Why thank you. Please read and review my other stories as well.

The Adoptive Mother in question....Is she a part of a know cannon?

Sort of. All will be revealed in time.

Suggestion 1: name the woman.

Will do next chapter.
What's suggestion 2?

Wow, what an ego buster sold, and to add insult to injury for a measly $800. On the other hand someone REALLY wanted him, but who IS she?

Not telling! Not till next chapter anyway.
Love the review. Hope to get more like yours and to have writing worthy of such amazing reviews.

How about telling us who adopted Xander?

Next chapter. Promise.

I have to echo WolfWriter, once you get things down on paper it becomes so much easier to write. I'm in the middle of writing chapter 2 for my Prototype 2 story and I'm referring to my notes. It keeps me on topic and not rambling. Good story so far.

Thanks for the positive review and I actually agree with you. I ramble a lot too, and so that's why I write the whole story down first (basically a rough draft is my version of an outline) and then I make it better by typing it up. It helps me a lot and that way, if I lose things or get things to be too badly bad or off topic, then I can just look at my writing and try to make ideas pop into my head. Doesn't mean it works for everyone, but I also tend to have a very blank head when I'm not acting out sections of story.
Back to my original thoughts, I thank you for your review and hope to see more of it just like you.

So... what is this a crossover with? It says "Star Tek - Other", but I have no CLUE who this woman is that's adopting Xander. Right now, the scene is incrediblly generic, and could be any number of people from any number of series, from Margaret Houlihan's daughter to Major Carter from Stargate SG1, to Donna from That 70's Show, or even possibly Daria from her show if we push her timeline back and Buffy's forward.

Hehehe. Great ideas. I might even turn this into a series of universes where Xander gets adopted by different people! HEHEHEHE. You saying that it's so generic tells me that I did my job of being vague well and setting up 'Who she could possibly be?'. So, I think that it'll surprise you who it is that's adopting you.

Okay, first off: Who is she? You never gave her a name.

Two: How does this fit in with Star Trek?

Three: Which one? Classic Universe or Reboot? Next Gen, Voyager, or Deep Space Nine?

Four: How old is Xander? Younger than five but older than three?

Five: Where will he grow up? On the Hellmouth or in 24th Century San Francisco?

Six: Will there still be demons, or will they have faded away?

Seven: If it's classic Trek, then it should be Roberta Lincoln and Gary Seven who adopt him. Take him to the planet that Gary grew up on and have Xander trained there, then return him to Earth, in whatever time period he will fit in with best.

If it's classic Trek, then don't have him tell Kirk and Spock where he comes from unless its absolutely necessary to the plot.

This story is pretty good for a prologue, but if you really want a good story, put your plot points down on paper and try to develop it from there.

Like who does what, with whomever, for whatever reason, in search of whatever object or to achieve whatever objective in whatever amount of time.

Once you get ALL of that straight on paper, THEN start typing up the little darling, and believe me, your story will go places.

Just don't get stuck on dialogue or have too much exposition. Those can bog a story down.

Give details, but not too many all at once.

I can't really think of anything else to add.

If you need further advice, PM me, and I'll see what I can come up with.

I love all the advice you have given me, and I will do my best to use them all, but I will say that the first chapter basically came to me fully formed and with nothing else. That's all I had for this story, total, and am basically depending upon reviews to make it go further along.

One: I will give her a name next chapter, but I know exactly who it is and I'm not telling! (Least not till she tells you in the story. Hehehe)

Two: I was thinking of making a dream in the Star Trek Universe at some point in time, and I just didn't want this to just be a simple non-crossover story, but thinking about it now, and with your wonderful questions in consideration, I might make it a part of his past, just to screw with him. Hehehe. That'll be fun.

Three: I haven't decided yet. Suggestions?

Four: It's right as they're coming back from Christmas Break after it snows on Christmas, keeping Angel alive. That was the last episode I saw, so that's why I chose there.

Five: On the Hellmouth of course, or so we think. Hehehe.

Six: Demons. Definitely Demons. Maybe I'll have superdemons. Huh. *Think*

Oh, and the adoptive mother is doing this partly because of the love spell that backfired on Xander earlier in the year. You know, the one where every female in Sunnydale at the time, including Druscilla, fell in love with him but Cordy. Kinda. *Shakes head to get head in the game*

Thank you for your review and will try to mention you when I put in the next chapter to commend you for your help.
