The only problem in using dialogue from the episode is that the vast majority of your readers will be almost as familiar with Ats as with BtVS. Reading through scenes they already know will become boring. Personally, I tend to skim through those parts and so risk missing the original sections. I'd much rather read just the 'added scenes' with only as much reference tot he scenes from the show as required to keep the story flowing.

Oh, and it is not plagiarism if you add an Author's Note explaining that you've used dialogue from an episode and credit the writer of that episode.

Author's Response: Thanks for letting me know. I've been struggling with figuring out how to write those scenes without plagarising. I got some feedback from people who watched BtVS but not Ats and couldn't figure out some parts of the story. Maybe I should put credits + episode summary in my A/N?
