er...no. Not really believable.
You've taken a genre and kept nothing but the names consistant. That's
it.
If I take a Tom Clancy novel, and rename all the characters within to
random Ranma names, does it become a Ranma fanfic? If I take Urusei
Yatsura, and rename Oyuki as Kei, and Benten as Yuri, does it
automatically become a Dirty Pair fusion?
Of course not! So, just how is this a Slayers fic? Neither backstory
nor characterization remain the same.
So what you're saying is, I shoulda labled it an Alt? =)
Seriously, you're right, nothing but the names are consistent, but I figured
that justifed a Slayers tag. In any case, what I was going for was the
emotional impact, rather then any paticular sense of story.
I do like your sig by the way. How did you come up with it?
