Well what can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a highly original adaptation on the Halloween after effects plot. I liked that Buffy gained something from the whole event.

I enjoyed the premise of the fic. It's one of the more original Halloween aftereffect fics I've seen and you made us understand where she got her skills from without having to awkwardly narrate Buffy's thoughts about her Halloween experience. One thing I do have to say, is that even though this is a one-shot and many one-shots leave endings open to interpretation, this story does not feel finished. The ending seems to lack any real impact and feels abrupt. Other than overall enjoying this story I can't say much more, as I know next to nothing about the crossover, except that you got Buffy's voice down perfect.
(1 spelling error I found, al harpsichordy, I think you meant to write -all- harpsichordy :D..)

I am so glad you did this story. I have seen so many stories on Xander and the skills he got from the Halloween experience but none on Buffy. If he learned how to handle guns then why not Buffy and the harpsichord?

Ok. That was just fun. I wasn't expecting Scott McCall at all, and that, I think, was the best part ... right behind the harpsacord bit! This is great!

As far as the story goes it was nicely done. Plesent to see someone other than Xander getting something from Halloween. But you really need to do something with this, if you are planning sequels great. I'll look forward to them.

What do you mean Jimi Hendrix doesn't count as classical guitar? Sacrilege!
And I was wondering for a moment when Buffy first showed up where she learned to play the piano. I then saw that someone other than Xander picked up something from their Halloween experience.

Well, that's a first. Usually the "talent left over from Halloween" story belongs to Xander. This is not an oft-used crossover, and it will be interesting to see where you go with it.
Oops. Did not realize this was a one-shot when I reviewed. Sorry. Well--it was fun while it lasted?
