In this timeline, he'd be arriving a full year earlier than in the canonical Buffyverse, right?
Almost 18 months earlier. He will be VERY green, very perplexed that Willow isn't like the Slayers he read about at the Academy.
But I think uncertainty and danger bring out the best in Wes.
Having Buffy die in "Prophecy Girl" and having Willow become the Slayer certainly changes a lot of things, doesn't it? No loss-of-soul boinkage, no Kendra, no Faith...
Yeah -- that's another aspect that intrigues me. The characters don't have asmuch baggage as they would if, say, Willow was called after S5.
Wonder if the confidence of being the Slayer brings Willow to come out earlier?
Not super-early, because I can't pass up a chance to do Willow/Oz. But Amy Madison will be in the story, so there may be some wacky Wicca crushage. Can't say, yet.
