Unless, you know, it's your blood she's bathing in. ;)
Incidently, one of the short stories in the "tales of the slayer" collection also has bathory, although its not as good as this.
Hm... I haven't read that collection. I've only read a few Buffy Books; most of them aren't that great.
I liked Bathory in this because as a character she didn't feel like a mary-sue or self-insertion. Throughout the fic she's a well-developed, convincing villain. Also I liked it because there haven't been that any vampire Big Bads on Buffy since, well, season 2 really. So it was cool to read that again. And the story is just so wonderfully written helps a lot too. The prequel to this was a crossover between BtVS and The Magnificent Seven (which I guess was a tv show based on the western movie). I read that first, and loved it, even though I didn't know ANYthing about the other show. But it's all Wishverse meets Westerns, with 2 Spikes running around, lots of angst, and cool fighting.
Now though, Scribe seems to be writing all LotR fic. ::pout:: I wish he/she would go back to BuffyFic.
