HOW'S MY DRIVING?

It's that time again!

Also, as amazing as getting ILU comments is, it's nice to hear why, and what we're doing right, just as much as criticism needs to be constructive.

ALRIGHTY well, I must say I am v. much enjoying vamp!Buffy so far. I'm really impressed by how you make her sound like herself, but with that definite twisted, creepy edge. Also, as I've mentioned before, I think the AU is pretty inspired, and I also think it's excellent how you explore the emotional implications/consequences of Buffy being turned.

As for the mistaken identity issue, I agree that people mistaking the two Buffies in the flesh is pretty unlikely, unless the person doing the mistaking hasn't seen her much before. SMG does age visibly as the seasons progress-- and to clarify, the tablet holograms are actually pretty high quality. They're not as good as visual mode, but they're not fuzzy or flickery- they're quite clear. Advanced alien technology and all that. HOWEVER yes, people could so very easily be duped by the voice setting, and this is something that I think could make for an excellent plot device in future!

And I am also very much looking forward to us doing some kind of Buffy vs. Buffy showdown thing! AND in other news, I found this icon in my swathes of folders, and thought it might be relevant to your interests:

I will get through this ton of notified replies, I will...

(1) Thankee! It seems a lot of people took a genuine liking to the miniature story thingy, while I was merely hoping it would somehow all string together to make sense! :) In recognition of this, I shall be trying to come up with ways to... Somehow explore/bring up aspects of it. I don't quite know specifically how yet, but I'll try!

Nevertheless, it means much to me that you, of all Buffy writers, are agreeable with the emotional portion of it. Highly self-conscious about potentially stepping on creative toes, here!

(2) Thank you for the heads up on holographic stuff! The SW analogy seriously made me imagine they were vaguely washed out and flickering and stuff. Has it ever been canonised whether they're, like, a miniture person coming out of the screen or if they project life-sized stuff in front of you? There's ambiguous wiggle room for possible mistaken identities if it's the former, maybe! Weird proportions and all. Especially in dark lighting?

(3) Happy to do that, as and when! Now that the journal things starting to actually notify this account about stuff... >_<

(4) Pretty icon! I'm up to my limit of available slots, right now, but shall store it, just in case! Thank you!
