Hey guys.....I was looking in the 'Featured Fan Fiction' section of the site and noticed that there are several "episodes" missing in the numeric listing. Do you guys have an outline for the subject of these missing episodes and you just haven't written them yet or what ??

Just trying to figure out how the numbering is working.

Ok, this explaination is going to be a bit long, so please bear with me. ;) When I first started writing scripts for the Featured FanFics section, I partnered with somebody else (this was before ReJoys2 and I teamed up). If I remember, we pretty much came up the story ideas as we went along... At some point, we decided to have Angela become pregnant with twins. It was the first script I had written (she, my old writing partner, had written all the fanfics up to that point). As I started writing for the pregnancy storyline, I found it to be increasingly difficult to come up with ideas for it and...down the line, what would happen after she gave birth (I know very little about babies).

Eventually, my old writing partner became busy with other things and I ended up being the only one to write the scripts. So, as a last minute decision, I decided to cancel the pregnancy storyline. I wrote a script about Angela going into labor, but give it a 'suprise' ending where Tony wakes up to find that it was all a dream... Angela never was pregnant and it was actually a week before their wedding. But, upon re-reading my early scripts I found them to be poorly written and scrapped them altogether; saving the ones I could by removing any lines that reflected her pregnancy. Even the scripts I saved (Making Up is Hard to Do I&II, The Wicked Witch of West Sussex, and St. Mona of Fairfield) are pretty weak and I plan to re-write them in the future.

After I scrapped the old fanfics, ReJoys2 partnered with me to write scripts, starting with "Here No Come the Bride?". We had a blast writing them and they seemed to more closely model the show than the ones I had previously written by myself. So, we continued writing together... This time around, I do have a set plan for the direction the show will be taking. In fact, I have ideas written up for scripts through the end of "Season 10", with a 3-part series finale as episodes 248, 249 and 250... While I haven't had too much time to work on any fanfics lately, I do enjoy it. As I mentionied, it's a lot of fun writing scripts with ReJoys... I'll pitch the storyline to her or send an early draft of the script and then she'll send it back to me with her ideas, additions, corrections and etc. We do this back and forth until the script is completed.

To answer your question regarding numbering, the gaps will be filled-in as ReJoys2 and I write new scripts. Like I said, I have the storylines all set through the fictional Episode 250...just need to find the time to write them. :)
