Review of chapter "'Quick like a bunny'" from (Current Donor)JanessaRavenwood
Review:
“Hey. You.” His voice boomed through the Gate Room, and the girl’s head snapped up, the shimmering eyes meeting his own. “Yeah, you, with the hair. Stop. That thing with the blinking and the blipping around--just stop it. Or else... we will order you to stop. Again.”
-----
ROFLMAO!

I'm surprised he did not...taunt her a second time! :-)

Thrilled she got out. Now that she's *seen* the outside world, she can get out any time she wants. I assume she will end up having reason to go back, but now she has a bigger bargaining stick...she can leave any time she wants.

That said, her best bet? Start looking at new locations on this world, all over the place, as soon as she can. At this point, if you haven't seen the movie "Jumper," I would recommend that you do so ASAP. The teleporters in that movie operate according the same rules.
Comments from author:
Hey there! Glad you're enjoying the story.
(And I'm glad you enjoyed O'Neill's ultimatum :-)

I AM familiar with 'Jumper', though I've not seen it since it came out.
Some of what Dawn is doing is sort of based on that, but I'm also an X-men geek from way back, so there's an equal amount of Nightcrawler mixed in there too.
Dawn's exact power set is different from either of them, though; more limited in some ways, more flexible in others. I'm doing my best to walk a line where she's very powerful and adaptable, but also quite fragile and limited in some ways, and in no way a gamebreaker or Godmode Sue.

That said, thanks for the nudge; I'll rewatch Jumper again for possible inspiration (and also Rachel Bilson)

Review of chapter "'Quick like a bunny'" from AllenPitt
Review:
She shouldn't have said she hates the Donut God. They'll never forgive that kind of blasphemy. Next up... I wonder if she'll look up names in phone books/on the internet to see if there are analogs of Faith, Spike (real unlikely) Buffy etc in this dimension? It's real unlikely there's a duplicate Dawn here. Wouldn't it be weird if there was a Sunnydale where everything happened as in her dimension but no Dawn, no Glory etc?
And wow. There really are tours?
Maybe the SGC can get the Asgard interested in this? Grab her with their teleporter thing & 'hold' her in a field?
Comments from author:
The Donut god is a jealous god. Thou shalt put no other pastries before him.
:-P

It does seem reasonable that she would check to see if there were versions of herself or the others here, sure.
::scribblescribble::
I'm not sure there are actually tours; I kind of assumed. There are certainly photos of the place available, which I found as I was researching. Let's say that, at the very least, they sometimes show Senators, their wives and children some of it, as a way of fostering some Governmental good-will, and the Airmen assumed Dawn was some important politician's spoiled Daughter (she certainly looks the part).
Remember, very early in the Stargate timeline; far before they could (semi) casually call up the Asgard, Tok'ra, or others for help.

Review of chapter "'Quick like a bunny'" from MarcusSLazarus
Review:
Well, that was a somewhat-embarrassing disaster for the SGC...

Here's hoping they manage to track Dawn down before she does something to attract the attention of the NID, anyway.
Comments from author:
Hey, the NORAD guys didn't manage to stop her either!

But, yeah, still embarrassing for one girl to run right through the most elaborate security setup in the world.

Review of chapter "'Unlocking a different kind of Door'" from DearestDrusilla
Review:
This is just, all sorts of fun. I'm really looking forward to the next chapters, the promise of hijinks is exciting and I can't wait to see what sort of trouble she ends up saving them from and vice versa.

Is willow going to feel any guilt at all? Or Tara? I would like to know on that end, along with any potential Buffy rage.
Comments from author:
Thank you so much!
I hope you enjoy the chapter I posted today.

Review of chapter "'Unlocking a different kind of Door'" from Chikageko
Review:
Nice, very nice. Now, let's see if you can peek it up. Two things of curiosity, are you willing to show us parts of the past you described for Dawn and how far did you let her go in magic learning beyond her key stuff? This is after all the girl who by all accounts succeeded in performing a master level resurection spell with all previous experiance being observation as opposed to practice...
Comments from author:
There might be glimpses of her situation in the other universe shown in flashback, but probably not more than that. Though I suppose I could change my mind.

My take on Dawn's Key abilities is that it isn't magic at all, really, but basically a very narrow chunk of natural law that she can control in some limited but very powerful ways. I don't really see her as any kind of spellcaster, and that wouldn't fit well with the Stargate stuff anyway (at least not as I want to write it)

Thank you for the reviewage!

Review of chapter "'Unlocking a different kind of Door'" from (Current Donor)MaxGSandeman
Review:
I can imagine Dawn body collapsing in on itself, before she vanished. That would cause Willow and Tara the most horror of what they did to Dawn.
I hope they remember. Just try explaning what they did to Giles and Xander. The authorities might show up.

There's an implication that the Key is everywhere, as the Dawn part of it finds the strings that lead her to the SCG.

You would think Hammond realizes the futility of pursuing his current course of action and decides to pull back. Usually, Daniel would be the one to make a suggestion, but I hope it's someone else, perhaps Teal'c.

Dawn's inexperienced in interacting with people, even if she remebers everything the monks locked away, will possibly lead her to blab about herself. I hope that doesn't happen.
'Where do you you come from?'
'Do you have a map of southern California?'
When she sees no Sunnydale, she'd hopefully make the connection a of different universe.
Let her be a liitle vage about the Initiative, if the subject of her terror about the military comes up.

Review of chapter "'Unlocking a different kind of Door'" from Jazzibear
Review:
This is very good indeed: an intriguing idea, very well presented. I am puzzled by the story title, though, for the syntax feels fractured to me. “Base” is singular, “are” is plural, and putting them together jars. Maybe I’m missing something, or maybe all will be revealed in due course.

The chapter title is splendid, though, so witty in very small compass. I smile whenever I see it. And the chapter as a whole is gently funny. Not being exposed to Jack O’Neill’s brand of humour in reality I find him very risible, but I guess he drives his colleagues to distraction.

If the whole story is as good as this chapter, it will have delivered entertainment of a very high order. I am impatient to read the next chapter. Soon, please?
Comments from author:
In hindsight I can see that I really needed to include an explanation of the title.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us

That gives the origin of the meme, though of course I ended up using it as the title because
A) It sounded neat/interesting
B) There was a playfulness to it with the 'her' included that felt like Dawn's attitude
C) It's fairly descriptive of the actual story, though it might take a few chapters to fully arrive at that point.

I'm quite pleased that you found the story enjoyable (and 'gently funny' is a wonderful compliment!).
Doing my best to find time to work on the next chapter.
Thank you for your kind words.

I will repeat Dawns statement: “This is so cool!”

I like this a lot, and I'm really looking forward to more :-)
Comments from author:
I feel warm and glowy when people are pleased by my stories.
Thank you.

I'm having lots of fun writing it, and that's usually an indication that there WILL be more to come.
