CONTINUITY



Canonical issues

See Also: Buffyverse canonical issues



Buffy Novels , such as this one are considered by most fans to not be part of Buffyverse canon. They are not considered as official Buffyverse reality, but are novels from the authors' imaginations. However unlike fanfic, 'overviews' summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as official ''Buffy'' merchandise.


Timing


  • The book is supposed to be set in the summer after Buffy's first year at Sunnydale High.

  • The book breaks with established Buffy 'canon'. Buffy should be in LA during this time as explained in When She Was Bad . Furthermore the emotions of Buffy do not synchronise with those of Buffy at this time according to established 'canon'.

  • Stories that take place around the same time in the Buffyverse:
