[i am my own fandom]
when talcotts got the buffy comic, he raised the question of older, middle-aged etc potentials ... if they lost their potential or if they too were now slayers. i famously have a huge desire for older-lady fic, and these ideas combined to made me explode with glee. just imagine!
1) sister pete. aside from the obvious awesomeness of a puerto rican slayer/nun, would she keep her job? what would that do, for example, to her dynamic with keller? how would it affect her vocation? also, this raises the question as to who could be a vamp in oz. i'm voting for ryan. possibly just because that would be hot.
2) ruth fisher. it would do her a world of good to have that kind of power. also, she's in the perfect location -- just think of how many vamps might be coming through there! and i'm pretty entertained thinking about how her kids would react.
3) emily gilmore, i rather suspect, has been a slayer all along. it's one of those things that you just don't discuss (obviously), but it must be done. these things have to be taken care of, and the less said about it the better.
4) i considered anna conroy, but i still think i want her to be a watcher. because she would be -awesome-, especially as luna's. but how hilarious would ellen fanshaw be? it would take her a while to come 'round to her calling, i think. hee.
5) carmela soprano, who reminds me of ruth fisher, actually, in that it would give her some much-needed power over her own life. or, really, enhance the strength she doesn't know she has. and can you imagine how that would make tony's head explode? as if the poor guy doesn't have enough issues already.
6) then, you know, we could move on to younger women, yet generally considered outside the age range for slayers. like maybe frannie vecchio. or! hope! which would raise an issue, because obviously curtis is a vampire. that's -really- why he a) doesn't leave the house and b) goes through so many roommates. you only -think- they've left. or OMG! annie cartwright! oh man that would be so awesome.
...this is what it's like inside my head, guys. and that's without coffee.
