As news trickles in, we’ve come to find out that the Buffy reboot isn’t so
much a reboot, but the story of a new Chosen One with her own set of adventures. We’re more than fine with that - no need to redo the
perfection that was Buffy Summers. A script hasn’t been penned yet, so we
thought it might be fun to take this opportunity to make a Wish List of sorts.
Here are a few story ideas (out of a gazillion) that we came up with off the top of
our heads:
The Future Dystopia: What if our new slayer lived in a
dystopian future a la the Buffy episode “The Wish”? We could see a world
ravaged by climate change, making it fertile hunting grounds for nasty night
dwellers, demons, as well as desperate humans. Sounds like a perfect time for
Wolfram & Hart to enter stage left and take advantage of the situation.
The Metaphor: Buffy was known for the “high school is hell”
metaphor and since one thing we know for sure about the new slayer is that she
will be a person of color, it would make sense to use vampires as a metaphor
for white supremacy and racism. This could be a powerful telling of our present
state of affairs.
The Period Piece: Literally anytime in our past would make
for a great telling of a young girl’s story as she comes into her own power and
faces the resistance of the society around her.
The Crossover: Recently, SMG and David Boreanaz were asked
about the new slayer and both shot down the idea of appearing in it, but if you
read the articles here and here, I think you’ll see that they might be a little confused
(like we all were ) and think it’s a literal reboot of their characters. It’s
not and any and all guest appearances are welcome, even annoying Xander
(kidding, not really).
No matter what, I know we’re all looking forward to watching
this world come to life again. The possibilities are endless and that’s a good
thing.

Dear uffyfest, this is awesome news! I was so dreading a complete retelling of Buffy's story. It just felt "wrong". But the telling of a new slayer's story is very exciting to me. Where did you get this great bit of news?
Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
Recently, I have started to read a lot of unique articles on different sites, and I am enjoying that a lot. Although, I must tell you that I still like the articles here a lot. They are also unique in their own way
