Fiction
When I was in High School,
Voltron was on TV and my friends all loved it! Two of us, however
wrote our little fingers off with several stories that continued the
story after the show completed it's first run of the Lion Force and
Vehicle Team. At the time these were written, there was no second
season of Voltron, no Fleet of Doom, and certainly no V3D (and Amalgamus).
We wrote our own version of what it would have been like if the two
Voltron teams joined together. Of course, this even pre-dates the
branding of the Vehicle Team as such (hence the best name we could
come up with, "Voltron of Ships").
Thrown into the Voltron universe
of course were loads of extra... our high school friends were all
thrown into various roles as themselves... knights, chamber maids,
spies, you name it. We even cast our favorite teachers though they
never knew about it.
Missing of course is Voltron
II, the Gladiator Team. We weren't sure how World Events planned to
incorporate the third story arc, so we left him out, only to find
that he would be replaced by Lion Force season 2 with Cossak, Merla,
and crappy animation.
These stories were originally
written on an IBM PCjr, and were rescued from 20th century technology
using several steps. First, the files had to be accessed using the
original software, IBM Writing Assistant, and "printed"
to ASCII text files on a machine that could still run the program
and read & write to both 5.25" and 3.5" disks (the winning
machine was a salvaged IBM PS/1). Next, the text files were written
out to 3.5" disks. The disks were then fed to my old Dell machine
that runs Windows ME (and consequently, can't really talk to my other
computers). The files were then FTP'ed via a private account over
to my current HP Pavilon, and the files were re-edited into Rich Text.
So here are the first few installments, saved from the clutches of
oblivon... please enjoy!
