Great twist, having the characters in each universe be fictional in the other. I like how you got Willow and Buffy involved too, but even they are not the primary recipients of the night's changes! Can Andrew still contact them now that their com badges are props again? Hopefully the holograms can keep it together until Andrew can scrape his jaw off the floor :)
And with stargate involved you have an enemy that will be challenging for a federation starship and assorted crew.

Funny that, how a side character will sometimes step up and take over the stage for a while.

Besides, the idea of a 'competent' Andrew just made that girlish scream and faint all the better. =D

Hmm... I wonder how surprised the Goa'uld will be to see the USS Prometheus (Federation not SGC) in orbit over Earth by the time they come out of hyperspace? This looks like the Buffy/ SGC verse Earth just gained its first true starship all because of Ethan's frakked up spell.

"You will kneel before your God!"

"Okay, where is she?"

So Willow is in command of a Starship. That could be fun. I don't recall Willow ever EVER being the one in charge in a situation like this. Nice fleshing out the back stories. I am eager for the next chapter.

Willow as Captain was the primary specification of Challenge 4242. Besides, Xander almost /always/ gets the goodies in the YAHFs while Willow ends up touching solid things alot. Figured she was due a power-up.

Nicely done. I will keep an eye on my email for the next set!

Thanks again. I've got some time this weekend (am dogsitting for my sister) so I hope I can get most, if not all of the next chapter pounded out. I'll send it over as soon as I can.

Absolutely love this and can't wait for more.

Thanks! One of the first reviewers stepped up to the plate and volunteered to beta for me (poor them ;) ). The next chapter is already in their hands. Just waiting to get it back so I can incorporate the changes. (They're also supposedly sending me some notes on what has been posted, so I will probably have updates for the Prolog too.)

Ok, loving it so far. Is this like the ship of the line series of stories? Will they get a ship? Hope the next chapter will be out soon!

You will note that 2 challenges are referenced in the summary... the second one is Ship of the Line. Actually, both challenges are very similar in some aspects, which is why both are referenced. I'm playing it from Willow's perspective since that was what the first challenge specified, and Xander is the one who almost always gets to party on Halloween. So Xander here still gets an upgrade, but maintains his comedic sidekick dominance.

Also, specifics about the ship are in the first segment and available via the link in the author note (unless you happen to own a copy of the GEC Logbook from January/February 1994.)

Sunday at the latest on Chapter one... Title:

Holodeck Program Buffy One Zero Three One One Nine Nine Seven


hmm

Just another twisted idea, as a side adventure have the Prometheus show up in the Code Ragnarok verse. It would surprise that world's Scoobies to see Willow Rosenberg as a Starship Captain.

Since I noticed that there was a scene from Stargate: SG-1 in the Prologue. I wonder just what the Halloween event will be, *cue evil laugh.* I wonder what class and type of starship the USS Prometheus is. In STO (Star Trek Online) my Federation player captains a Light Escort and my Klingon captains a Bird-of-Prey. In the Star Trek RPG I was Security on a Miranda Light Cruiser and Helm on an Enterprise Cruiser (The Flight II of the Constitution-Class). I like my escort from STO except when engaging Romulan Battleships. I get my ship shot out from under me every time. Oh in Prime Directive I usually was a Star Fleet Marine.

I also have played a Soldier and a Scout in Stargate RPG usually on SG-17 or on SG-5.

Hi,

The PROMETHEUS is an Omega Class Command and Control Cruiser. A ship I designed back in 1992 which was published in the Galactic Engineer's Concordance in January of 1994. She's slightly smaller than a Galaxy Class, roughly equivalent in firepower, stronger shields and the Communication Suite to end all Comm packages. Basically she's a purpose designed fleet command flagship.

She ain't the baddest dog on the block... she only holds his leash.

love this, your story is a great twist on the Halloween story-line.

Wait til the next chapter. The title will suddenly make a ton of sense.

Very nice. Always good to see the Scoobies pulling Buffy into the roleplaying ... makes me think about pulling my Sunnydale GURPS story out of storage ...

Very much hoping you continue this.

Current plan is between 3 and 5 chapters with potential follow-on stories.

I already have the first chapter (post prologue) finished and the second chapter started. I've got someone who has volunteered to make a beta pass who should get Chapter One tonight. I'll post once I have incorporated their feedback (or by sunday evening, failing that).

Oh my. That's going to make for some very interesting tangents.

:D I'm hoping my next chapter doesn't lose everyone with my approach.
