Starting Over Again: A Carrie / T.T.T.E. Fanfic

Author's Note:

So, after reading the incomplete fanfic story Runaway Carrie by The IDEALLER 1995, it gave me an idea for my own version of that story. It'll be along very similar lines to Runaway Carrie (in that Ralph White will appear) as well as the other Carrie / T.T.T.E fanfiction story, Carrie and the Magic Railway by T-Rex-1000 and set in the universe of the 2013 movie Carrie, but with a few major differences.

The first difference will be the timing of the story; unlike the previous two fanfics which had Carrie on the Island of Sodor not long after the Black Prom massacre took place in the 2013 movie, in this fanfic she'll be there about a year and a half BEFORE the prom happens. Thus, there'll be no deaths of anyone at all in this story, but Carrie will still discover her telekinetic powers and will get her first period, but that won't be until much later into the story and under circumstances that will be very different from what we're all familiar with. Basically, the more I thought of this plotline of Carrie going to Sodor well before the prom takes place, and thus sparing her hometown the trauma that would occur that night, the more I realised that it would make an interesting story.

The other major difference is the setting of the story and the Sodor characters; it'll be set within the model series, especially the classic model series by Britt Allcroft that we all know and love, with some of the strongest elements from the C.G.I. series added in for good measure as and when necessary. Also, NO characters from the C.G.I. era of Thomas will be within the plot of this story, with no exceptions.

While many of the Sodor characters from the model series will be included, many of my original characters will be real life steam locomotives that ran on Britain's railways up until the late 1960's, as well as some fictional steam locomotives classes, some of which were actually planned but were never built, as well as steam locomotives that should have been built but sadly, for various reasons, weren't.

Also, as many steam locomotives in pre-grouping, grouping and B.R. days ran without names, many of those that will appear in this story will only be referred to by their numbers. It'll be just easier for me to use their numbers rather than go through the nightmare of giving EVERY locomotive a name. And in the alternate universe (A.U.) of this story, many of the steam locomotives that were scrapped in real life survived to be preserved, thus appearing in this fanfic. A few very famous British steam locomotives that are still in existence will also be appearing, including the most famous steam locomotive in the world L.N.E.R. Gresley Class A3 No.4472 Flying Scotsman, but that won't be until much later within the story.

And these steam locomotives, fictional ones or the real-life examples, either ones that are still around or no longer exist in reality, will be my Original Characters in this fanfic.

Also, the rail and road vehicle characters of Sodor will have their names or numbers in Bold and what they say in Italics, so that they stand out from the other characters, thus making them much easier to see.

As well as that, some elements from my first fanfic, Helping One in Need, will be included in this new fanfic as and when necessary, such as Carrie getting her period about two months before the prom takes place.

To the IDEALLER 1995, if you're reading this, I hope that you won't mind me using the basis of your fanfiction story for my story. It's just I'd been thinking of writing this ever since I read your story and I simply couldn't resist the urge to do this.
