Mar 02, 2009 23:00

There have been "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" / "Hackers" crossovers before. i've read several. Some of them are good, some of them are not so good, but none of them have really been ideal ( Read more... )

This seems fun... but you could also add Oz to it, he has been scouted by several companies out of high school and didn't go to any one, and his style would be closer to the hackers but not... and in my mind after all that happened he and Willow would still keep in touch ( ... )

Ooh. For some reason I had forgotten about Oz, but that would also be really awesome. I bet both Willow and Oz change their net names fairly frequently. They are not, after all, out to make a reputation for themselves on the net or to create general chaos, they need to be able to get into government/police/morgue/bad-guy/etc files and they need to be able to find esoteric bits of information ( ... )

People do forget Oz because he is just so quiet! But yes I agree that they would known only to a few hackers, a way to bridge that elite with those at the school would be two oriental guys whose name I don't remeber but seem to be pretty elite and know virtually everyone ( ... )

I can imagine Oz calmly playing backup to a band in some club that the rest of the hackers hang out in, which would be a nice way to get them all in the same social circle without actually trying to make Willow punk. Maybe they just dismiss Willow entirely until they see her looking completely out of place in this traditional hacker bar being a fangirl to one of the musicians, who's pretty odd in his own way ( ... )

There are four hacker crossovers posted on www.tthfanfic.org but they all have a lot of failings. I remember enjoying "Hackers" by Serena back when I first found it but I think I've grown as a reader since then. I can't remember any others off the top of my head. Sorry!

i've read some of those but you are right they do have many failings, I'll keep looking to see if I can find any others
