Dreadnought's Tomorrow People Fanfiction Page
This page is intended to be a repository of my Tomorrow People fanfics - both origianl series, new series and crossovers between the two. I have a fanfic project in progress which seeks to combine the two series. The project called 'A More Perfect Union' is outlined below.
A More Pefect Union
I have been a fan of the Tomorrow People for quite a while. I grew up on the original series, and when I first heard about the new series I was excited about it. When I finally saw it, while I found it interesting and enjoyed it, there were elements about it that, quite frankly, disappointed me. Primary among these was the fact that besides a few in-jokes it completely ignored the original series. A decision had been taken somewhere in its production to forget the original series.
The new series (25 episodes in all) stood alone and did not rely on the original series. Indeed there were a variety of things within it that appeared, at first glance, to directly contradict the canon established in the original. I felt that this was a profound waste. The new series was neglecting the historical advantages that the 68 episodes and eight seasons of the original series could have given them.
Consider Star Trek. A similar situation exists in that new series have been created that are similar to the original. But the difference in this case is that the new series' (ie The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager) directly refer to the original and take place in the same universe as it.
But when I began thinking about the Tomorrow People, I realised something. There are no inconsistencies between the two series that couldn't be resolved or explained with a little imagination. I decided that combining these two series into one could be very interesting, and resolved to try it.
A More Perfect Union is the result of this effort. This is to be a series of stories that all take place in the same universe - a universe where the two series, 1970s and 1990s, are one unified whole taking place in the same universe.
