Now here is an original take on the Halloween theme! I can honestly say I would NEVER have come up with this twist and gotta say, Props for Originality! Good work!

oh dear... that is... wow. I hope you muse can kick into gear on this one cause it seems to have potential. Just kinda curious, but does Xander now have all the abilities of the original person as well as the costume? like does he now play football really well, is an amazing guitarist, have all the speed and strength of a slayer? Looking forward to more.

Thanks for reviewing. I'll see what my muse wants to do as far as continuing this is concerned. I know where I want to take it; I just don't know if she'll cooperate.

I loved this story when I read it on your yahoogroup and I just finished rereading it and it just makes me want to read the next chapter stat. I can't wait to see the fallout from events of this halloween. There is a lot of potential to be cool, but also so pathos and angst. The sexuality issue alone boggles the mind. Can Xander's machismo withstand the combined power of Larry and Andrew's gayness? What will Cordy and the Cordettes do with the knowledge of just how mean they were to willow? How what's going to happen to Buffy the Vampire.
Dude, I gotta know more!

Thanks for reviewing and commenting.
I do have a very vague plot bunny in the back of my mind as to how best to follow this up, and I'm letting my muse decide how best to utilize it. I'm not sure when I'll have anything done, but I hope it's in the near future.

Halloween is so much fun, and the more twisted the author the more fun to be had. I was impressed with the way you kept the characters straight, and managed to provide enough detail that I was comfortable even with the characters I wasn't really familiar with.
I would ask for more, and I do want more, but I am also eager to see more on your other stories, so I will just wait and see.

Thanks for reviewing and commenting, I really appreciate it. Hopefully, my muse will deign to work on this one sooner rather than later. ;-)

More, more, please. This is a *wonderful* variation on the Halloween theme, and I can't wait to find out what happens next. I hope your muse and schedule will allow you to write and post more chapters sometime soon. Keep up the good work. Zafaran zafaran@fastmail.fm

Glad to hear you enjoyed the story. I have every intention of following up on this and I am completely confident that no one will be expecting most of the consequences of this particular holiday. ;-)

Now THIS is one I'd be interested in seeing you continue... not just because of Uber-Xander (Go Xan-Man!), but also such things as how Buffy deals with now being part vampire, herself...
Comments from author:
Everyone involved with this particular Halloween, not just Xander or Buffy, will have to deal with the ramifications of the costumes they chose. And I think those ramifications are a lot more extensive than you would expect.

Well... we now have a VAMPIRE Slayer... amongst other things... this will be an interesting quandry. "But the Slayer cannot be turned!" "She can if it bypasses the whole dying thing it seems."
Comments from author:
It certainly seems like that, doesn't it?
