I was thinking about your fic when we were talking earlier - your use of the word queen inspired it in one of my posts in reference to Buffy a while back, a "benevolent queen". http://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/17902.html Which is how I see her by the end of the series - as a matriarch.

Everytime Buffy makes the "Chosen" speech I could cry ugly empowered tears. It refers to all of us, I think, to take the power in our hands and be brave. It's really inspiring.

It's one of those things I'm split both ways about (and this show is really good at doing that) - my head analyses it and says "But..."; my heart just melts a little. Especially when I see the girl in the trailer park rise up - WHY don't more fanvids include her rather than the softball girl? Or when Vi kicks ass in the Hellmouth - I get SHIVERS every time.

Would it have been even better if Dawn's Keyness had also been unlocked? Oh yeah. That's a massive fail - but not enough to make me want to reject the whole thing entirely.
