It sure would be cool if you were to finish this story...novel idea...have not seen this anywhere in the b/g fandom...but obviously, since it is 2005...I am rather late entering the arena~

Enjoyed what you have written here...

I think this story, as an AU, has the potential to be a really sweet romance--but if it's OK, can I point out some things? If I were you, I would honestly switch the setting from historica fan fantasy, because the setting just doesn't match the real thing at all. I'm not saying your setting is wrong, it just isn't accurate, and therefore the story itself loses about half of it's punch.

I know you said in your notes not to take to notice of historical inaccuracies, but if you want to write a good historical piece, (and it's really hard to do), you have to do some research. It's part of the pacakge You don't need to make a huge deal about itl--I would really just suggest reading some literature written contemporaneously with your chosen time period, or close to it. It's like understanding the plot and characters of a movie or show before writing about them.

Just a few basic points:
Buffy is too perfect--give her some flaws. If will make her chara cha charming.

Instead of transplanting a California girl to eighteenth century England, think about what Buffy might have been like it that era. For instance, she wouldn't be tanned unless she spent a great deal of time in the sun (and tan skin was *not* fashionable). Also, as a princess her life would probably be much more highly structured and formalized.

Try to synthesize the speech patterns--the characters switch from a little too formal to a little to twentieth century--try for something in the middle.


I put all these things down (and just realized that this is a *really* long review!), because I'd love to see this story improve. I wouldn't review it otherwise. Please keep writing =)

K.B.





As I said, your story is fun, and I'd love to see you take it one step fur tor to make it really good. Please keep writing!

I say the mystery man is Alexander Harris. Or maybe he was one of her suitors...

Besides Giles/Buffy goodness, the best thing so far is Travers being Giles' personal attendant.

Cute that you put Winfred in the story. Cordelia'd be right at home during this era.

Would love if you'd post more.
