'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
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.
I though all current potentials were activated
In which case we're back to two-year-olds with Slayer strength, which is... an amusingly evil thought for me, but then I've never been a parent.

Eh. It seems like girls are potentials form the time they're born, but can't become slayers at least until puberty. (The youngest Potential we saw activated was Softball Girl, who looked 11 or 12.)
What I would wonder about would be 80-year-old Slayers.
Heh. It would be nice, wouldn't it, if the skipped over potentials got a little surprise too.
I think the age thing would still stay pretty much the same. You still have girls getting called in puberty and dying young - because they are still warriors. Joss has said Buffy was the story of the best Slayer that ever lived, and with the dying and coming back, very unique. I still gotta think that most slayers aren't going to last more than a few years, even if there is a mess of them.
In Fray, isin't it also that Vampires haven't been around, either?
Maybe it's a whole balance thing.
