plug.
But hell, I gotta pay my bills somehow!)
Fragmenta
Stuff that I started writing, but then didn't
know what to do with.
Fragment #1
-- I'm not sure what I was thinking about when I wrote this, but I
still
think its rather neat.
Fragment #2
-- This was the opening scene from Episode #1 of an aborted attempt to
rewrite the entire Phoenix series outside of the Doctor Who
universe (an option which I am still exploring and may yet do).
Again,
written in script format. For the purpose of this excercise, I
assumed
a TV series that consisted of episodes one hour in length. More
fragments
from this attempt exist, but because many deal with events not yet
covered
in TEOTP, I have chosen for the moment to not post them to this site.
Fragment #3
-- In the fall of 1994 I started on my first attempt at writing Phoenix
as a continuing series. At the time my plan was to write it in a
manner similar to Phoenix, i.e. as a series of
screenplays.
By January 1995 I had actually finished four such episodes and was busy
working on the fifth when disaster struck -- the motherboard on my
computer
fried and took out my hard drive. Unfortunately, almost
everything
that I had written to that point had not been backed up (always,
always,
ALWAYS back-up your work!!), and so I was left with nothing.
Well,
almost nothing. This fragment is from an early version of Episode
#1, and represents the only portion of this attempt that was actually
saved.
Fragment #4 (Pariah)
-- I found this on an old disc, so old (in fact) that I'm amazed it was
still readable. These are rough drafts from a very early version
of Phoenix, which at the time was entitled Pariah.
As is evident from these two segments, Pariah was a much darker
story than Phoenix, and it is interesting to note how the two
scenes
in this fragment eventually metamorphosised to the "final"
versions.
More segments of this version of the story were written, and if my
search
of old discs yield any additional files, then I will also post them
here.
