Whoa! That was seriously creepy, I know Giles had to go evil at some point this year but Yikes! Great Job!

Thank you. I love writing evil Giles more than I should. He's such the perfect gentleman monster. I'm happy you like it.

Awesome. Writing a story to reflect the video was great. You had just the right amount of creepiness without going overboard.

Thanks. I think that part of evil Giles' act would be to remain civil until the monster showed itself. He would be quite a force. So glad you liked them both.

I was right about those puppies and ponies then...

Blimey, wicked!Giles is wicked in this and I love how you discarded Spike!

gilescandy July 8 2014, 08:35:05 UTC

Yes, he makes the best gentleman monster. Glad you liked it. Oh, and I thought of you when I decided what to do with Spike. It occurred to me that good Giles can barely tolerate Spike, and evil Giles would have even less patience for him. Especially if Dru wanted to play with her new stud. Vamp!Giles would stake the big baby so fast... and I knew you'd love that.

Great companion piece, all dark and hopeless, with a nice feeling of final apocalypse)

Thank you. The last section was odd for me since my style is to tell my stories through dialogue. But I thought the stark description was a good mirror for the bleakness and hopelessness Buffy felt. And that it would easy to see how this group of good turned evil would be the force that could take on the world. So happy you liked it.

Well damn, there goes the vamp Giles story I was thinking about writing. I was specifically loving the idea of having Dru do it at the end of season two because it would be such a different take than your wonderful story Magister. Oh well... I'll think of something. Seriously though, this is great.

Hey. I say if you have one, write it. Several Vamp!Giles stories start with Dru. I mean, how can anyone not see that she thought about it? They all turn out different. So, go for it. And, writing vamp!Giles is so much fun, everyone should try it once.

I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully, I'll have time to expand it at some point. After I finish the Magister'verse and others. There was a whole sub story of Faith and Wes trying to stop them (and failing) that I had to cut out of the vid for time. Hey, maybe a sequel vid if I find the right song. It's hard for me to let story-lines go.
