The Writers
The books they could have written.
Have you ever wondered what any of the Scooby
Gang would write if they were writers?? Okay so the question doesn't come up a
lot but it struck me to be quite a funny concept, so here's how I see it, if
they did write here's what they could be like.

The Slaying
Handbook by Buffy Anne Summers |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The First Line
|
|
" I never got given a handbook of
any kind when I was told I was the chosen one...so I've made
one..." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Target Audience |
|
Slayers, and could be helpful to Watchers too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Plot |
|
We all remember when Buffy was extremely astonished to
there being a slayer handbook, and feeling a little disheartened to the
fact that Giles failed to give her one, Buffy went and wrote herself
one, and of course for future slayers to come. The book includes helpful
tips for fighting multiple foes, how to research well and get the
results you need. Also gives a guide to if you begin to feel the
pressure of The ever famous Watchers' Council breathing down your neck,
and what you should do about it. The basic jist of this book is that
it's the cross between a how-to-book and a personal biography of Buffy's
life. |

The Last Line |
|
"Now you're
ready to be a slayer..." |
