Nice chapter to a nice series. I gotta agree with becuzitswrong in that Raven is an excellent OC - I mean you're only six chapters in and yet it's clear she has a distinct voice. Can't wait to see where you go with this...

What a great story! I click on the site to update and there are so many great stories to read. I love Raven! Excellent OC! I like how you have her father be an ex-Marine, who has indocrinated his little girl in all of the fun things in life: guns and marine corp culture.
Xander and Faith were both convincing and true to character. I like how Faith is still telling her naked gator story, even after all this time.
I look forward to more.

Any chance to see the marine in Raven's dad giving her some professional After Action Review on her tactics??. Of course, after the shock of watching his daughter killing those monsters goes away =). Cool chapter, see ya!!.
Comments from author:
I'm glad you're enjoying this. I'm having lots of fun writing it.
I chose to make him a retired Marine as a tie in to some ideas I have for later in the story and for possible future related stories but he will of course have to do a post mission debrief both from the military side of his background and the police side. I'm sure once he has time to think he will find all sorts of problems with her tactics but that's not surprising since Faith pretty much tossed her in to the deep end with no training.

Marines Semper Fi xD!. Why do I think that Raven is gonna have an AA - 12 as a side arm, with some very heavy deer o boar slugs, or an .50 Beowulf M4 carbine? I mean, her dad is gonna teach her the basic about combat rifles. Cool chapter, see ya!!!.
E.T.A. Yeah, and Buffy will be soo jealous of Raven and her guns xD.

I can see it now. Tiny little girl with a rifle almost as big as she is. Maybe bigger.

I have no idea what you're crossing over with, but I like it. As long as it isn't something lame like Supernatural, feel free to keep this shrouded in mystery.
Comments from author:
Thank you all for the great reviews and comments. As to the cross-over. I have several in mind and there are some hints to the direction in the story so far. Part of the problem is having to pick from a set of choices that didn't really reflect where I am planning on going.

I've got to admit, I hadn't read this because it's a surprise crossover and the summary wasn't intriguing enough to overcome that. My loss. I still have absolutely no idea what the crossover might be, but your writing is well worth reading! Thank you.
Very enjoyable story. I'm glad she was a slayer or it could have been a bad for her. I do hope those idiots get what they deserve. Nice to see a protective honest principle. I bet that will shock Xander after snyder lol.

This chapter brings up an interesting question; what do you tell your Dad when you've turned into a slayer and beaten up the local rapist...especially if he's a cop! Just as well Faith and Xander are there to help.
Yep, I think some sort of POV indicator could help, but I've not had problems with it myself yet.
Good update, DaveT.

I have to agree with DaveT, you are not getting enough reviews. For as good as well written as this fic is. I only have one suggestion so far, put some kind of small break in when you're switching perspective. when you switched from the principle to the main character I had to reread a couple of times to figure out what happened. Please do not use section headings like "Principle's POV" just a couple dashes so we can that there is a break in perspective.
Keep up th good work.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind going forward.

PS; I've just noticed how few reviews you've got for this fic. I really believe it deserves more as its well written and an interesting and unusual storyline. Don't get discouraged by the lack of hits and reviews.
