Continuity
*Suppose to be set early in BtVS's sixth season, and AtS third season. Story remains outside
Buffyverse canon , and written long before Angel Season 5 which would come to contradict certain continuity points.Canonical issues
:main|Buffyverse canon
:"Buffy"/"Angel" books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike
fan fiction , overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox andJoss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially "Buffy"/"Angel" merchandise.Timing
