Reactions and Reviews
Even though when I first read this story I had never watched Buffy, I found it very enjoyable. I rolled my eyes a bit at the premise--Chapel as Vampire Slayer--then found myself completely engrossed nevertheless. I think it works because while injecting the Buffyverse into Trek, Djinn never loses sight of who these characters are. I like how Djinn deepens Chapel character here with a slice of back story we never saw on the series while Spock very much remains Spock. And in a sense this isn't a true crossover--no Buffyverse character appears in it. Instead Chapel finds in the Enterprise command crew her own group of "scoobies." But in the end this is a story that works on pure storytelling ability--it's just a plain good, fun yarn. [1]
TOS meets "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"? OMIGOD, Djinn actually makes this loopy premise work, and work well. It seems there's a lot that the command crew of the Enterprise doesn't about their head nurse, but they learn quickly when they beam down to a planet that has been a feeding ground for vampires. Christine's history is plausible and well written, and Djinn has shown a real talent for writing nail-biting action sequences. Couple that with her tight dialogue and wry humor, and you have a winner! [2]
Christine the Vampire Slayer faces another battle with the forces of evil as her (kinda dense) shipmates figure out there's something a bit different about her. But of course, she prevails! I am frankly envious of what Djinn's fertile imagination can manage to come up with. [3]
