... I decided to dig out some of my old issues of ShadowGram, The World of Dark Shadows and Inside The Old House, and when I glanced through issue #34 (August/September, 1989) of ITOH I discovered that I'd completely forgotten that it contains an NoDS fanfic by Kathleen Resch called For Eternity that deals with the aftermath of the 1810 events. It's written from three perspectives and three different years, the first being an 1850s narrative by one of the men who took part in Angelique's hanging, the second being from 1810 and by Charles Collins, and the third being from 1812 and by Sarah Castle. Kathleen delves into several aspects of what transpired in 1810 and afterward that the film doesn't and it's all quite satisfying. And one of the things that's most satisfying is that she gets into Gabriel's life after all the events of 1810 and ultimately what becomes of him. It's all a must read for any NoDS fan.

It's a shame that Alex didn't have access to the sources Kathleen cites in her piece because he would have had a lot more interesting info that he could have (privately) shared with Quentin (so as to not ruin upcoming things in the film). And the more I thought about Kathleen's piece, the more I wanted to share it, but I didn't want to have to type it all out. And with that in mind I started to look for some decent OCR software to scan the pages and pull out/save the text for me. I finally found some free software that looked good and used it today to do the first 2 pages, which I'm attaching to this post. Subsequent pages will be attached to future posts until all 9 pages have been shared.
It's a bit of a sidebar but I remember that Marcy Robin had written a pretty piece of fan fiction that appeared in either The World of Dark Shadows or Inside The Old House. It's a sequel to HODS and a prequel to NODS, as Jeff and Maggie return to visit Collinwood as part of Maggie's post Barnabas therapy. They meet Carlotta who is polite to them, informing them that David will not live there again. Carlotta does find them somewhat intriguing but will not let them interfere with what Angelique has planned. It's a pretty nice story and definitely worth being reprinted.
Thanks for the info - Marcy's story sounds interesting. It would be funny if I have a copy of that too. At this point I don't know because I haven't glanced through all of the issues of TWoDS and ITOH that I dug out...
Unfortunately, after going through all of my TWoDS and ITOH issues, I didn't come across Marcy's story.
