What if DS Had Contined
« on: July 06, 2011, 02:48:30 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 remember reading this several years ago when it was on a website and was very impressed by the twists and turns the story took as I read. 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.

I get a kick out of these guys who think they're so clean, when all the time they're trying to cover up their dirt.

I sent it off, and I hope I did attach the file correctly so it opens.  Everyone, make sure to also check your spam folders just in case it ended up there!

What you describe, Gerard, makes sense! Why not submit it to Big Finish for an audio drama?
