Elseworlds Preface
Hello everyone. Vryce here with a quick message about Elseword tales for those of you which might not be familiar with the idea. In Elseworlds tales, well, more importantly in My Elseworld tales, things change. And not in some "Spike ends up with Anya" or "Angel marries Willow" sort of way. Oh no. Instead you'll get a title something along the lines of "Elseworlds: ???" in which the "???" signifies the constant. Still confused? Good.
Let's have a quick example. In "Elseworlds: Tara", the character Tara is the constant. She remains a bit shy, retains her stutter/stammer, and continues to practice magics. However, she no longer loves Willow (Cuz Willow don't exsist) and no longer lives in Sunnydale (or on "Earth" for that matter O-o?). Also.......she'll most likely end up an Elf or some such thing. Neat huh?
Now then, this isn't just some Buffyverse AU we're talking about either. I mean Tara would be the only thing that hasn't changed, and even she'd be different. "Elseworld" tales are stories where I take a character like Tara, or Faith, or Willow, or Dawn, and place them in different settings while still trying to remain true to the original character. So an "Elseworld" Dawn would still be a tad bit snippity at an older sister and would constantly be striving to be taken seriously, much like she is on the show, but at the same time would have never heard of Buffy, Vampires, Sunnydale, or a Slayer. Oh, and did I mention she'd probably be living in Space? Confused again? Excellent! That's what these tales are all about.
Anyway, following this preface should be a tale of some sort, hopefully with a character you're fond of. Be forewarned though, as Buffy and Angel are 'Main Characters' I most likey will not be writing stories about or even featuring them. To those of you familiar with my work this will be a relief. To the rest of you.....sorry.
But enough of that. Let's get on with the Show!
