Author has written 21 stories for Avengers, and Monkey Island. Hello! I'm Timeless A-Peel, and I write fiction based on The New Avengers, the seventies "sequel" to the cult sixties British series starring Patrick Macnee. I've long been a fan of the adventures of Mike Gambit and Purdey, and bemoaned the lack of attention they've received in the fiction world. There are some lovely works out there for Steed, and Emma, Tara, and even Cathy, but very little for Purdey and Gambit. I hope to fix that. I've written several stories so far, but I've only been brave enough to make a few available beyond my betareaders. I hope to rectify that. The exception is "Berlin," a piece I cowrote with rabidsamfan. It can be found in the Avengers section, or linked through my favourites if you're interested. Otherwise, my stories tend to fall into three categories: I. The "arc": This is my main project, a series of stories meant to flesh out the timeline of the series. They take place before, during, and after the events of the show, and I try my best to adhere to the canon. Generally they can be read in any order, but sometimes things from earlier stories are alluded to. I use the production order and dates of the episodes for my timeline/template. A list of the episodes in that order can be found at The Avengers Forever. Because this is still very much a work-in-progress, I still haven't written the first story in the series, which means there are one or two things alluded to that won't make sense. Hopefully this won't hamper enjoyment of the stories. The order is: 0. Lost Boys--June, 1975. Gambit and Steed's first assignment together. (Complete). 1. Anew--December, 1975. A first meetings story concerning Steed, Purdey, and Gambit's first assignment as a team. Work-in-progress. Not posted. 2. Aftermath--February 6-8, 1976. Pre-series, based around the pre-credits sequence of "Last of the Cybernauts...?" (Complete) 3. Dance With Me--Late February/Early March, 1976. Ends with the early scenes in "Gnaws." (Complete). 4. The Anniversary--November, 1976, shortly after the end of season one. (Complete. Updated and relaunched as of September 6, 2008). 5. Merry Christmas, Mr. Gambit--December 24, 1976. (Complete). 6. Brazil--late February/early March, 1977, post-"Hostage" and latter portions of "Gnaws" and "Last of the Cybernauts...?" (Complete). 7. Life on Mars--July, 1977, immediately post-"Obsession." (Currently being posted). Further stories to come. This is a long series! There's an awful lot of editing and writing still to go. II. Shorts: Although some of these can end up quite long. Little extra ideas that don't merit a full story. III. AU: Stuff that blatantly violates the canon. What if? scenarios that I want to try, but which won't fit into the arc. A word of warning--my fics place a heavy emphasis on the Purdey/Gambit relationship, and that doesn't leave as much room for Steed. I hope you'll enjoy what I post, and I'd love to receive comments! Also, I'm rating everything "T" just to be safe, but for the most part there's not much that could be considered "shocking." Just a little innuendo, but this is The Avengers... If you're also a fan of TNA, you may want to browse through my photobucket account, linked as my homepage. I've scanned all the pertinent articles and photos in my collection that are New Avengers related, so have a look if you're interested. Note: I've only just realised that I wasn't allowing Anonymous reviews. Rest assured this has been corrected! (I'm new here. All those buttons are overwhelming!) | |||||||
