Taylor's Fan Fiction Draft / Planning






Im thinking of doing my fan fix on an extension of the 90's series Freaks and Geeks.
I REALLY want to do it because I love the show and I think it was made in the wrong era :,( so it didn't get the popularity and recognition that it deserved.

Centered around 5 main characters
Lindsey
Sam
Daniel
Nick and
Kim

The end of the first season, which meant the discontinuation of the series left so many loose ends and open endings which I want to resolve.

The First Episode , aptly named pilot, develops the main characters that I will be following on my fan fic. I will be writing from Lindsay's Point of view but also swapping character POV's during the story for different perspectives and 'inner thoughts'.

I was wanting to develop the relationship between Lindsay and Daniel and then also resolve the relationship between Lindsay and Nick. I was contemplating putting in a small paragraph paying homage to Sam and Cindy and them two getting together FINALLY.

Here is an example of a 'Daniel and Lindsay' fanfiction that I found kind of interesting (although a little boring and predictable) but it's a good idea of how the Daniel and Lindsay scenario can play out.

I also found a few other fan fiction stories surrounding Freaks and Geeks that are worth a look.
'Love sucks and then you die'
'The Magic of Laser Floyd'
'Freak'
The reason why I chose these 3 stories is that they all have a variety of styles and ideas surrounding Freaks and Geeks but also because they are good examples of what could be lacking in the story like characterization and context and style, where people forget that the series is set in the 80's.
