You're welcome...here's a link in case you want to read a bit more about them.  I haven't read it all myself yet but it looked good.  The legend has the right kind of spooky/romantic feel for the show it would seem to me.  [easter_shocked] [easter_kiss]

Given the Victorian fascination with mummies I'm surprised they didn't incorporate a mummy storyline. Perhaps they bought a mummy to have an unwrapping party only to unwittingly unleash some new bedevilment on themselves.

A banshee would have been cool, though the widows kind of filled that role as harbingers of doom.

Oh, GOD...a banshee!  One of the very first things to ever give me recurring nightmares... [easter_shocked] - thank you very much Darby O'Gill (and Walt Disney)  [easter_kiss]

When I did my Charles-Delaware-Trollish version of what-happened-if-the-show-continued, I concluded the series (ending it in the late 70's) with a storyline that had not only a banshee, but all sorts of Irish folklore creatures that kill everyone and destroy everything based upon a curse placed upon the Collins family in Ireland in the 1500's (before the family relocates to England, and then to America).  Of course, the only ones to survive are Barnabas and Angelique (who had, in my CDTish, reformed several seasons before) and both return to that Irish 16th century past to stop the curse.  Imagine the costume extravaganza in that one.  I ended it all with a real bang.

Taeylor, email Kathy Resch at kathleener@aol.com and put in the subject line LOOKING FOR DS ZINES.  It may take a few days or so for her to respond but she will answer you.  Kathy published many DS zines, Concordances and she has access to other out of print zines as well.  That's someone you can contact and ask about past issues of now out of print DS zines.

It's hard to get my brain working in all the ways I want it to, and I've wanted to write fanfic for years and years.   I never got myself into a proper DS fanfic mode.   I'd like to think it's still possible, but one needs a venue for it.

Your story sounds great, Gothick.  Is it by any chance posted somewhere on line? This fandom is in desperate need of some high quality fanfiction with a plot that hasn't been done ad infinitum.
