Hi there,
About a week ago I joined the fanfic fray and I'm pleased to announce
that Earth 317 is open!
Unlike many of you, I had never seen seasons 4 and 5 until this month
(and I'm still season 5 free for the moment). So my fondest memories
are of the original cast. They're the characters I know; they're the
characters I can write. So instead of trying to put things right again,
Earth 317 simply diverges from Earthprime in early 1997 when Fox execs
decide not to renew their struggling show 'Sliders' for the '97-'98
season. The Executive Producer, not wanting to be associated with a
doomed product, jumps ship. Fox essentially gives the new producer carte
blanche to wrap up the show.
Production has just wrapped on SL-316 Lost of Eden, leaving the new
team in place 8 episodes to finish the series the right way. The first
effort airs 2.21.97, SL-317 Recall.
Please check out Earth 317 at http://slidersweb.net/otherworlds/317/index.htm
The stories are written as episodes. While not adhering strictly to
a script format, there is no internal dialogue. These episodes are on
the long side, but no longer than a 1 hour show. I advise printing them
if possible.
Thanks for taking a look! The project is 8 episodes long and should
be completed by late January/early February with a 10-14 day release
schedule. Feedback is always welcome.
Mike
