(Hey guys. I'm back. I've successfully completed my series of stories that take place after Sodor's Legend Of The Lost Treasure and some point, I didn't think I was going to make it this far with all five stories. Starting in September with Maintenance Check!, I had Not So Small After All completed by the beginning of October after stalling a bit. Then I quickly wrote The Overhaul Express because I had that episode in mind for a while and it was my favorite story to write. However, I don't know whether or not I gave the RWS feel to the story that I thought I could maintain throughout. Oliver's Discovery was a simple one for me and I was inspired by other Pack episodes to write it but somehow, I managed to include more detail in it than I pictured from the start. And then I ended with Trick Or Treat!, something I kind of took my time with to make it to the Halloween deadline. I had a lot of fun writing these stories and I hope you all had fun reading them too. Surely, I'm not Andrew Brenner or his fellow writers but I usually have the confidence to write stories about Thomas in my own way. Anyway, moving on, here are a couple of things to expect in the next two months through Thanksgiving and up to Christmas.)
Coming this November...
Thomas & Friends in The Strike!
Moral: abide by the rules/you're never too big for small jobs
Short Synopsis: continuing from where The Adventure Continues left off, trouble arises in the yard while Thomas is on his branch line. The big engines have more work to do and cause confusion and delay for Sir Topham Hatt. Meet Percy, the new saddle tank engine, who agrees to help out after the big engines' strike! Discover how he and Thomas became the best of friends in this brand-new adventure that teaches the importance of working together and doing as you are told. Based on the Railway Series book Troublesome Engines.
And COMING SOON on Christmas...
Thomas & Friends in The Gift Of The Magi!
It's Christmas time on the Island of Sodor and the engines are filled with the festive spirit. Henry gets into a "fishy situation" with the Flying Kipper, while Toby helps Thomas discover the true meaning of Christmas. Diesel 10 struggles with overcoming his hatred of the holiday season, and Mike neglects the winter weather and gets himself snowed under. It's full steam ahead as Thomas and his friends bring you the Gift of The Magi in these four tales of giving and helping others. Followed by two music videos: You're A Mean One, Diesel 10 and The 12 Days Of Christmas.
(I hope this all looks very promising to you guys. I'm getting to work on The Strike! right away but I'm going to focus on updating other fanfics as well, like Jaws: Man-Hunt and maybe, if I get a few ideas in mind from time to time, my rewritten Spider-Man 5 story. And of course my Reviews Of The TV Show fanfic once season 19 continues airing after this unnecessary hiatus it's gone through :(. Anyway, more details on The Gift Of The Magi will be in about a month, followed by a short preview of what one of the episodes is going to be like. It will not only be a separate fanfic than My Written Episodes but it will also be part of the latter fanfic in an order similar to the Christmas episodes we get nowadays. That's all for now, folks. Peace out and stay tuned for what's in store for the future with my fanfics)
