Title: What if DS Had Contined
Post by: Gerard on July 06, 2011, 01:48:30 AM: I mentioned here before that, for fun several years ago, I came up with stories and plot lines about DS if it had not been cancelled. Unfortunately, because of my computer glitches, I had lost it. However, over the past several weeks, I rebuilt it, again, just for fun.

I started with the fact that when Barnabas, Julia and Eliot return to the present time (1971), they would find a totally different Collinwood with different people occupying it (rather than picking up with Elizabeth coming in to look for Roger's papers - that comes later) because they had so radically changed history by their presence in 1840/41. From there I carried on.

My synopsis has taken liberties (doesn't DS do that?), and it is a basic, precis format, with details missing and no concern for grammar and such stuff. It was just to get the stories down; so no one should expect Shakespeare. I extended DS for another six years. It runs for almost 50 pages. If you'd like a copy, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

I recall having thought that were I to continue DS in some form that I would've done some similar things. Reading this provided another venue for me to enjoy being a fan of DS.
