Hi there! I wrote this story in 2000 and 2001, as an alternate Season Five for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When I started writing, Season 5 hadn't aired yet.
I was 19 - the same age as Buffy and her friends, and it reflects a lot of my experiences from back then as a young woman and a college student. (And now you know how old I am, I guess!)
The story should make sense even if you aren't familiar with the TV show, so please try it out if it sounds interesting.
And if you enjoy it or have suggestions for revisions, please vote and comment. Thanks so much!
