This section provides information on topics we raise in our stories.  Almost none of the sites offered here will be BG or even Buffy related.  They are resources we found useful at one point or another in our work and thought you might like to check them out as well.  We will be updating as episodes air with more references.

From Episode Two, "Out of the Fire:"  

Blind's Man Buffy:  Most American readers are familiar with Blind Man's BLUFF as the name of the hide and seek game.  It is correctly called Blind Man's Buff, which works out well for the story!  Some reference links are here.

Well, actually, YES!

Did you like "Once Upon a Time?"  We hope so.  For more on the REAL fairytales that inspired it, please see:

Tales Collected by the Brothers Grimm:  the original 1884 text of Margaret Hunt, by all accounts a good translation, if somewhat old-fashioned by present-day standards.
