Oh, I love it. I really want to see more about this plot, so very refreshing and interesting. Very amusing and I read It more than once.

Thanks for the great review! I only realized as I was re-reading this that I was foretelling a possible visit with Willow on Earth. So maybe a sequel sometime or another.

It's nice to see a Stargate scientist type in a crossover who believes in magic. I do have to wonder how he originally met her though.

Thanks! I'm not sure how they met but my current idea is that Willow's skills with computers were good without magic, so that with magic they are good enough to catch McKay's attention. "Why is the hacker's holy grail, the only current un-hackable database known to man, the firewalls protecting an all-girls gradeschool in Cleveland?"
McKay's voice--his arrogance, condescension, and penchant for melodrama are all spot-on. Not to mention the fact that he disdains Willow's claim of computer science as a "real" science, all the while ignoring the fact that she could kill him with her brain.
Also! Most fics with McKay (or Sam Carter, or any scientist-type, for that matter) usually have him as a hard-core skeptic. It's refreshing to see McKay saying "Of COURSE magic is real! What are you, stupid?"
And Sheppard's confusion and wait-and-see attitude are just so very him.

Thanks for the great review! I got so tired of the standard skeptical scientist that I decided there needed to be a story showing the other side of science: the side that looks at the evidence and throws out any theories that don't match it. If there's evidence of magic, then any theory that doesn't support that evidence is clearly false. Plus, McKay is an absolute delight to write.
