Hello Everyone,
We have a new writer of STARMAN fan fiction, whose first story I just added
to the Archive. Her name is Brenda, and she goes under the pseudonym of
mrwiseman. Brenda recently found us on Starmanet.com, and says, "I wrote it
because I enjoyed breathing some life into imagining what happened next in
the series. It was fun escapism for me."
She goes on to add, "I watched Starman when it was originally on television,
and I followed it to every new time as ABC moved it around. I adored the
relationship of Scott and Paul. The idea a kid my age (I was 13 when it
aired) could find out he was an alien and then, very literally, have to run
for his life was what kept me watching every week. I guess at that age we
all feel rather alien.
"It also went far beyond the typical science fiction show at the time. It
managed to mix family and real danger. Fox telling Paul he wants to kill
Scott in 'The Grifters' still gives me chills. In many ways that inspired my
point of view for all my stories. Fox's fear of this hybridization of humans
and aliens and " hybrid" Scott Hayden's view of his world/identity are
central themes to my stories.
"Starman was the show that taught me the reality of cancellation. Up until
that time, I just accepted that good programs came back in the autumn. I
remember eagerly waiting for it to return, only to find it did not return.
When I told my nephew all about the show, he surprised me in buying the DVD
set. After watching it once again, I had to keep the story going in my own
mind."
As you see, Brenda has written several Starman stories, and we're working to
convert and bring those to the Archive in the future. In the meantime, here
is the info for her story:
"STARMAN-The Invasion" by mrwiseman, 2013, 23,837 words.

the FSA make George Fox to believe that more of Paul's 'kind' are preparing
to invade earth. At the same time Paul and Scott head to Palmetto Desert,
California. Paul is assigned to photograph the desert for the real Paul
Forrester's friend and magazine publisher Marcia Davenport. While trying to
encourage Marcia, lights are seen in the desert. Will Scott and Paul
discover that they are no longer alone?
