Interesting concept. Future crossover with Stargate SG-1 (Janet Fraiser)? Looking forward for an update!
Comments from author:
That's all not necessarily correct, but kind of moot at the moment, since my muse seems to be ignoring this story as far as inspiration is concerned. ;-(
Hopefully, that will change soon.

An interesting story, starting to develop some good potential as we see Xander & Cordelia starting to show Neo & Trinity's skillsets.
However, while these changes have come from the demonstrated point of difference of their costume changes, you've been introducing other focus point changes with no demonstrated cause. For instance, Janet Fraizer has somehow gotten married, left the SGC, moved cross-country to a tiny town far away from any major biomedical research organisations/hospitals/universities, and begun human trials of previously-unknown anti-cancer treatments. What is the cause of these changes, when supposedly two Halloween costumes are the only difference?
Don't get me wrong, I like and enjoy this story, and hope to see more of it at some point; but if the story is going to mainly remain the same and not become a total AU, we need to see why and how changes are happening, not simply that the author is saying "Okay, I feel like rewriting canon of several series because I want to smush them together without bothering to explain why"! :)
Keep up the good work, and hopefully you'll be inspired to return to this story at some point.

Glad you enjoyed the story so far.
As far as why Janet's in Sunnydale, that's something which will be revealed in due time. Unfortunately, my muse's interest in thsi story seems to have waned a bit. ;-(
I know where it's going, and why, but I can't seem to get the next chapter finished. ;-(

I really liked Cordy tearing Harmony apart, and showing her up when Willow revealed herself to the Cordettes. Willow's S&M fantasies were a nice touch too.
Are C&X still in contact with Neo and Trinity? That's something I was hoping to find out in the second story. If possible, I'd like to see you expand on that.
Seeing that you updated this pretty recently, I hope that you do so again in the near future, I really want to see what happens.
Comments from author:
Thanks. Willow's imagination can be a little scary, can't it? ;-)
Your questions about X&C contacting N&T will be addressed in an upcoming chapter.
And the next chapter's appearance is entirely up to my muse's whims.

Nice to see an update to your interesting story. I am glad to read a story where Ford is not a bad guy. I was hoping he and Buffy would pair up, but it looks like his heart belongs to Frannie. I wonder if the alien tech Janet is most likely using to cure him has made his blood toxic to vamps? I also wonder if Buffy's not-paranoid-when-they-are-really-out-to-get-you friends are tracking her and Ford so they will be able to help out with the Slaying? I look forward to reading more of your nice story but hopefully within a little shorter timespan than last time. Lol!
Comments from author:
Several of your comments and questions will be addressed in the next chapter, and I certainly hope that it will be a MUCH shorter time between updates than previously. ;-)
You know how to tweak canon to keep us on the edge of our seats - "is Ford a good guy or a bad guy?" That is the question of the day. Fun, as always. There are a lot of reasons I have you as a favorite.
Comments from author:
Yeah, that's one of the best parts of a good story, in my opinion - determining whether a character really is as he appears, or whether they're lying their ass off.
Damn! Talk about a blast from the past! I had almost forgotten this story, but it was a treat to see a new chapter, especially since there is nowhere near enough Xander/Cordy goodness out there!

very interesting concept. i just wonder is it like to separate universes that can talk together through the phone, or is the scooby gang just plugged in the matrix still? cuz either would be cool, and could lead to very different directions. i also like how you're writing ford into the story. it's the first time that i have ever read him being a good guy. i hope you pair him with buffy. i never really liked season 1 and 2 angel, because he never really seemed to get involved and just played the mysterious card. also thought it was funny the little bit of dominatrix willow that you showed. reminded me a little of vamp willow lol. looking forward to more. keep up the great job ^_^
Comments from author:
First off, the Matrix universe and the Buffy universe are completely different, as I indicated in the preceding story, 'Enter.. the Hellmouth.'
And yes, Angel was pretty useless the first two seasons, aside from playing the dark, mysterious stalker from Hell angle.
Glad you're enjoying this story.
