Hey, bewildered about season finale, what happens when the new Slayers die? I mean, is it still one dies, another is chosen?
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I don't know if this is explicit, but I got the impression that Willow's spell essentially used up slayerosity and shot it all in one wad. Which would fit into Fray continuity sort of. But I could be wrong or Jossed.

See, and I thought that from now on, every girl who could be a slayer, would be a slayer -- so if there are 750 proto-slayers born in 2004, by 2020 there will be 750 new-ish slayers, plus however many slayers from previous generations are still around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which means, of course, that I though all current potentials were activated, but with no implicit effect on future potentials.

See, I was applying the idea in Fray that there hadn't been slayers in a long time.

The thing is, I'm coming at it with no Fray knowledge except what I've picked up from stray comments here. But from what I understand, Fray canon is that Slayers were "extinct" when the story started. So I see where my version doesn't fit with that.
I'll check the actual wording of the spell.

I'm with Lyra Jane. I thought every girl that could be, would be, forevah' and evah'. And that, plus a couple other things (the magic and vamps being sucked into the vortex, Mel never hearing/reading about multiple slayers when she learns about them) make it not fit into Fray continuity for me.
Not that I'm complaining. IJS.

If that's true, that it's all used up, it was a really dangerous spell.

OK. Here. We know that in Fray the magic and vamps all got sucked in the vortex - so that is why the Slayer line ended. Because demons and magic were all banished. That way you can have multiple slayers into the future and still explain them being gone when Mel is called.
If that works, it is my first wank.

I'm thinking it's the plot bunny between Chosen and Fray. How Buffy or somebody Buffylike killed off all the vamps on earth.
