Hmmm....... this sounds nice. I can't help but ask this though: What if Buffy is kinda known for something(s) [Think of a Batman/Bruce Wayne] other then heroics, and not as her super heroine? Oh! And I just noticed that I am now a The Slayer too! It would be cool if there were even more rankings.

In the words of a particular Star Wars favorite of mine... I am a slow learner. I was just noting that I liked your ranking system. It is fun to have ranks like "Master Vampire" and "The Slayer". I'm just thanking Heaven this isn't like this other forum I have seen where everything is a Marines' rank and it takes beyond forever to reach the next level, since they are mostly set. Oh, and another little bit... I like how you add challenges as films come out in the movies. There are many fantastic ones coming out in the next few months, and it would be awesome to use them in crossovers. Well, firstly about my ranking system: I wanted ranks that have something to do with the actual show or at least with this topic (= BTVS fanfiction). I think I succeeded with these ranks, right? There is one rank left for Goddessa, so if you are a busy little beaver, and send more posts, you will get it. ;D But I'm not telling you what is the rank you can still get. (nah, nah, nah naa naa...) But, there are two ranks left for possible forum moderators. I think I need at least one moderator, but I haven't yet decided will I get one. ~ ~ ~ And about coming movies: There are still lots of movies that I'd like to use as Inspirational Challenges, but sometimes it feels like I don't have time to do these challenges. But, I think I will use the weekend to research some new possibilities and check what kind of movies I could use. Hmmm, you know... What do you think about if I make a list of possible crossover movies, TV shows, books, comics etc that I haven't used yet? And when I use one of them, I'll just 'erase' them from the list. And members / visitors could also give me some crossover ideas.

Crystal, you did a fantabulous job with the rankings! It is definitely something to strive for. And that little note for Goddessa was devious... go you!
Considering you are a one-woman show, you are doing awesome as it is. I am certain you have many ideas, but I noticed that when Constantine came out, you added the challenges. I just figured that if something came out that you really liked, we would get that treat.
You should make a list (yeah, here I go on lists again) of things you'd like to use, and even ones you wouldn't like to use. I thought there was a topic where visitors could post challenges, was there not? Even if there were not, there may be other ideas floating around.

Okay, seriously, I think I should spend some time with checking what kind of movies are coming soon, or what there has been. I've watched so many movies that I don't even remember all of them. So, there might be some movies that would fit so perfectly as BTVS crossovers. I'll try to do as much work as I can during the weekend.

Poor Crystal... I hope your mind doesn't explode.
ETA: About what Buffy should be known for... well, she has an incredible heart. She should be a code-breaker or something or work for an intelligence agency. Bruce Wayne was famous for his business sense and his millions. Buffy should be famous for her generosity or else her ability to keep things undercover. Of course, she could always be known for her snappy fashion sense, something that was almost never realized on the show.

Thanx for the note CC. If you're not careful though, you'll need a whole 'nother forum section just for lists. Don't you just love them?!
Anyways, Buffy's celebrity status is something that everyone should no about, I'm thinking possible actress or something (channeling SMG) or maybe a musician or model with a past (and a present) in government or soemthing. Of course, she could always be an anonymous author or artist with ties all over and things can go from there...

Hmm... I like that idea. I would personally pick model, but that is just a preference. Actress would be fun, and anonymous artist/writer would work, as well.
She could always model SMG's Scooby Doo famous damsel-in-distress act.

I would say a mix of them all. She acts and fights. She can sing and model possibly. I think she should be able to write and draw as wekk but thats just me.

I thought about this too, and I think she should be a damsel in distress type. In the show Buffy was always showing a brave face, like nothing could hurt her, but this was just acting. She is just like every girl: school problems, home problems, relationship problems, lots of emotions etc... She never showed her true face behind the Slayer mask. She was a slayer 24/7. Nothing more, nothing less.
And now is her chance to be something else. She can be The Slayer, and she can be... What?
Personally I think she shouldn't be anything like her former self in Hemery - brainless fashion chick. I would like to think she choose to be some kind of artist or to do something brain work. We don't believe she really is the dumb blonde like in the show, right? I like the idea of her to be an author, or some kind of writer.
She would be a great model or actress, but then again... She would have to show a fake smiles and pretend face most of the time. And I think we are looking for something different this time, right?

I really like the Damsel-y idea. She can finally show true emotion... it would be nice to see her cry just once for a reason other than someone she loves dying or someone she loves leaving her behind. It would give her the chance to find love aside from pain and give her something bigger to hold onto. Did that make sense?
I think she could also be a journalist, perhaps writing for the city's famous style magazine or something. She could always be a photographer and snap pictures for different publications, as well.

I like the idea. She could be a journalist who writes stories about famous people or fashion or... something else that is far away from her night job. She could even have a very brain-y girl attitude and opinions, and still be very well liked and popular amongst people.

That's what I figured. She would finally get the chance to be herself around other people like her... and she could actually have relationships and friendships that last more than a "season".

Cool. If you want her to get involved with photography, then maybe she is one of those people that travel around and look for scenery to go in movies. She could always be an actress and show feelings that she could never under her slayer responsibility.
Maybe she just wokrs a bunch of part time jobs-hell It's a kinda AU world. Maybe there are more hours in the day. SHe can do a bunch of little things under a bunch of different names and write books or articles and control things like clubs and parties. Really, it is up to whoever picks this up...

It is... wow. There are a lot of ideas for this one. I think each idea needs its own recap, and then summaries and yeah... I will shut up now.

I guess this one has so many ideas because we can finally make Buffy as we wanna her to be. She can show her emotions, she can act like we wanna her to act, we can choose a good and interesting job for her (eewww, no burger flipping!) etc... We can make her happy, and she doesn't have to pretend. She can choose if she is Buffy or The Slayer who helps innocent.
Oooh, got an idea. I don't even remember if we have discussed if Joyce and Hank are her parents. If they are, are they just simple humans or superheroes too? Do they know about Buffy's 'destiny' as The Slayer? If they aren't her parents, then who are?
