Interesting, more soon of this possibly wonderful fic.

Thus far an intriguing concept. I look forward to witnessing Daniel's reaction to the news.

I definitely think Xander needs a new lawyer. Xander also needs to surface from his shock and put a few numbers together. Daniel was born in 1964 (I don't know about other states or countries, but my birth certificate includes my parents's age at my birth), so he was a father when he was 17. Children born to children at that age are most often given up for adoption. Just because Daniel has since bettered himself from being a foster child lost in the system, what he is currently isn't what he was when Xander was conceived and born. I can see Daniel doing anything he could to keep his child from being dumped into the same system he'd been shoved into when Nicholas Ballard refused to release rights so that Daniel could be adopted when he was 8 after his parents were killed. If that required signing off on release of parental rights so Xander could be adopted, I can see Daniel choosing to make the decision. I hope your schedule and muse will allow you to write and post more chapters sometime soon. Keep up the good work. Zafaran {mailto:} zafaran {at} fastmail {dot} fm

Thank you so, so much! **warm, happy happy feeling** Compliments are always nice, and yeah, that's Daniel through and through, isn't it?
And you never know, I could write some more!!! Maybe. If my muse wasn't such a vindictive prick. :)

Dude, I would love to - but you know how it is. School and that jazz. But all that chocolate is so tempting...

This is a pretty good start to a story, you're characters are well written and act like themselves, and i'm curious to see what else you do with it...
However, i don't mean to be nitpicky but the premise you're basing your story on is pretty inaccurate... You don't need your birth certificate to renew a drivers license, only to get one for the first time. A better situation to use might be that Xander needs to get his passport so that he can go abroad for work with the Watcher's Council.
The other thing is that you don't need a lawyer to get a copy of your birth certificate... in California, you fill out a form and send it and $14 to the CA office of vital records, or you can go to the county of your birth's office of vital records and apply in person for a couple dollars more. I believe you can get a lawyer to do it, but I don't see why anyone would... Anyway I hope you find this information useful and keep working on your writing!

Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for the advice. I don't exactly know how the United States legal system works, hell, not even MY legal system, so I just went with what first came to mind. :-) I'm really busy right now - high school SUCKS - so I might not get to it all that soon. But thanks. This is the kind of stuff I was hoping for! ;-)

Is good so far. Looking forward to the next bit.

So am I. :-)

I look forward to seeing where this is going.

Merci

I like it. Keep it coming.

I like it too.:-) Merci.

Interesting. I'd like to see more, update soon...

Merci.

Nice twist.
Do More!

I love twists. And of course

Ok I am like official in love with your fic! I love fanfiction that goes into Xander's real family because he got the short end of the stick and it is an excellent way to bring together different worlds and this one shows some promise. I will be deeply disappointed if I don't see more of it soon. Please update asap!!!

Thanks so much! I was hoping to update by Easter, but as that didn't happen, I'll update before my exams, at the very least!

Very nice, usually in this kind of stories Jack turns out to be Xander's father, this is a very interesting twist! I don't believe that Daniel would just abandon a child of his, so for now I'm going with the theory that he doesn't know about Xander. I can't wait until he finds out or the two of them meet. Hope to see more soon :-)

That's the thing about Buffy fics - anything is possible! ;-)

Oh cool! Thanks for responding to my challenge, I'll be looking forward to more!

Your welcome. :-)

Verry interesting, hmmm you have a good opening chapter here with plenty of possibilities.

Will be looking forward to the next chapter,make it soon and chocolate could be involved.

ooh, I like chocolate...
Merci!
