a silly thought

mamajoanI was thinking about "Buffy" being set in California and how I'm not entirely sure where in California Sunnydale is supposed to be, but I suspect it's southern because the weather is always the same, except when they need a conveniently timed storm. ;-)
Anyway, that got me to thinking that it's also awfully convenient for Buffy. I mean, they set the show in California for a reason, right? But what about all those other Slayers who lived and worked in places where they actually *do* have weather? Can you picture trying to slay a bunch of vampires while wrapped up in heavy boots, an overcoat, hat, scarf, mittens? Or in thigh-deep snow? LOL.
OTOH, take it to the other extreme and that's why you have Faith slaying a busload-full of vampires in the nude. Woohoo! Let's move all Slayers to super-hot climates!
Of course, the real reason is probably just that Slayers, like vampires, don't mind the cold. But that's so darn boring. ;-) So now I may have to write a fanfic about other Slayers operating in weathery places. Like, I dunno, North Dakota. Or something. Or maybe I'll just sit and think about it and laugh quietly to myself.
