Comments from author:

Excellent story. I'm slowly making my way through all that you have written! :-) Anyway, you weave a fascinating tale. Any chance that you'll continue this one? If so, I'm excited. If not, I understand how sometimes a story bogs down and all that. You are a fantastic writer, and you should give a go at doing it professionally. I'll definitely read it! Take care & have a great weekend!

This one is definitely not done. I have more written and more comes bit by bit. Just want to make sure there's enough of an update to make it worth people re-reading 100k words. Hope you enjoy the rest.

Review of chapter "21. Does that mean we can drink now?" from Vassago
Review:
Isn't naquadah present in the blood stream of goa'uld? And probably Tok'Ra as well.
EDIT: i c u explain this in 22.
E2: The council not being very rich makes sense, though them having some money (maybe one or two members having Henslin's ladder Upper class with the rest being lower middle and working) with most extra income being spent mostly toward getting dangerous items destroyed/finding potentials (ie Kendra) and such wouldn't be unreasonable. And usable metal weapons aren't exactly extremely cheap from my experience, which is probably why Slayers use stakes more often. I do feel the need to mention, however, that the council building and people we see don't exactly dress conservatively or look to be on a conservative budget. They have a big meeting room filled with books and paintings in an old fashioned house with ornate chairs and designs on the arcs. And that is just the picture from the btvs wikia in the article taken from the show.
Comments from author:
As far as the wealth goes - having some nice things, i.e. being Wealthy, and having the sort of Income that is typical fanon are two different things. The watchers council is an organization that supports ONE woman (at a time). Buildings, books, and paintings are the kinds of things that last generations. If all their stuff was new, then I would more willing to say they have a high income. Weapons can also be reused by future Slayers.

Just read the story, I enjoyed it and hope you write more. --- If you're going to give lantash to one of the group, it should probally be ford. He's already commented that xander being an alien was awesome, so he probally doesn't have a problem with it. After getting through brain cancer, the upgraded healing abilities would appeal to him.
Also, this could give xanderXford an entertaining buddy buddy dynamic, and watching willow get a little threatened by xander's relationship with a man sounds pretty funny.
I suppose willow would be the obvious choice, but it seems like there'd be all sorts of interesting relationship aspects to explore if jolinar and lantash couldn't simply pick up where they left off. --- Since xander is trying to rebuild tokra tech from a 20th century earth techbase and decided to be creative, is he ever going to consider cloning as the solution to the tokra population problem?
I know there was an episode in season 5/6 where a goa'uld got cloned many times and infected a town. The tokra never thought about because the goa'uld don't use it and they aren't too creative.
Who needs a queen when you can clone jolinar complete with memories? Or clone egeria from the corpse she left behind for that matter.
Comments from author:
More is coming. I believe in making an update worth re-reading. So, you won't have to re-read a 100k story just to understand a 1k update.
I haven't decided who Lantash will go to if anyone. I think that's a ways off yet. Though that does sound interesting.
Cloning. Hmm... that's kind of a 'why didn't I think of that' moment. Or maybe why didn't *They* think of that? Perhaps there's a reason.

nice phone-call with the SGC and nice for Ford that they healed him
Chapter 22.
good Carter got promoted to Mayor and also good that they will try to help Jakob.
Chapter 23.
ahh good Willow survived and if they learn something from it it was worth something and the council being poor is for sure a new twist, but in my opinion an organization as old as the council can't be to poor. They should have money from investments or interest at least, if not they should hire some good businessmen :)
Chapter 24.
Microhard??? rofl...but nice how that all was handled.
Comments from author:
Chapter 23. Why CAN'T they be poor? Being old doesn't equal being rich. They are not the Vatican with millions of people giving them money each week. The modern banking system is a fairly new invention and in the past, it would be quite easy to lose a fortune in it rather than make one. And they are a historical society dedicated to helping one warrior (at a time). Not businessmen.
The council being rich is silly fanon for lazy writers.
So I've just made my way through all of your stories and I saved this for last since it's the longest. I've gotta say I really enjoyed it. I think the only criticism I have for it is the reaction to the supernatural that the SG teams had with the supernatural. I think Jack at the very least would have been more vocal and loud about it all. Either way I am really enjoying this story. I hope to see more soon.
Comments from author:
Thank you. Glad you know you enjoyed it. And Jack's reaction to strange things tends to be a bit subdued with a snarky and/or ironic comment, usually.
Anyway, I do have more coming for this, though I'm working on Emerald Dawn at the moment.
Thanks for reading.

I am enjoying this most interesting Post Halloween crossover between BtVS & the Stargate SG1 series Staring Xander as the main central character & I am hoping the author will soon update this story .
Comments from author:
That's a very specific subset. :-) Though, I'm happy you think I'm the best. I'm hoping I update soon too. I am working on it.
