jadelyntateI got a review last night for my kids story "Growing Pains." The summary is: "The Scoobies didn't like growing up the first time around, what makes you think they'll like it the second?"
I just saw the title of the story and could only think "The Scoobies grew up? When the hell did that happen?"
Buffy's incapable of maintaining a relationship, whether with a lover, a sister or a daughter. The last is both what Dawn really is and how Buffy insisted on acting towards Dawn even though she sucked at it.
Xander has always been an immature little Buffy worshipper. Intellectually, psychologically and emotionally lazy and incompetent in the extreme. I know that in post-TV he's supposed to be training slayers or something but that's ludicrous. He never did any training himself.
You have to wonder if it was just the fact of his survival that got Xander promoted in construction. Is he really any less lazy and any more competent at construction than, say, saving his own life? Well, given that he knows how to operate a wrecking ball pretty well, apparently so. Or maybe he just survives on luck.
The only Scoobies that did any growing up were Faith and Willow. Both of them did it after murdering someone. Faith supposedly and Willow in reality.
You know where the Scoobies actually grew up? In Barb Cummings' stories.
Um...I'm not sure what exactly this is but I don't think its actually a review of my fic. Its more of a character bashing using my fic's premise as an excuse. And I looked at some of this guys other "reviews"...he sounds like a sociopath in the making.
