the Sunnydale Slayers

Most collaborative works suffer from two central problems: incompatibility of style, and incompatibility of vision. When the Sunnydale Slayers got together to turn out “the Darkest Dawn”, however, something else happened. This is actually a series of stories, most by authors already in my Favorites list, and each one showing the reaction to the events of Episode 100 by some member of the Buffy/Angel casts. The least of them is a legitimate entry into Buffyfic, and the cumulative effect is well worth reading. (Not incidentally, the graphics theme also is excellently done, in a tastefully understated way.) Below is a listing of the stories and authors, but I’ll let you see for yourselves which perspective is featured in each individual tale.
