The MacGyver Fan Fiction Project

It's time to announce The MacGyver Fan Fiction Project!  Fan fiction is where fans write stories based on a preexisting narrative universe.  I've never tried it before, but it sounds like a fun way to write and to get back into the world of MacGyver.

My idea is to write a multi-part story around each episode from the point of view of one of the characters, starting before the episode begins and delving into the backstories.  Then I'll describe some of the episode's events from the character's perspective and hit on what happens after the episode ends. And rather than go in episodic order, I thought it would be more fun to pick them at random.  So I printed out the name of each episode (including the two movies and The Gauntlet opening gambit), cut the paper into strips, and put them in an envelope.

I'm not sure how many I'll do because I don't really know if I'm going to enjoy it until I try it. And it would probably take me at least 20 years to finish the series if I ever stuck with it.  But you gotta start somewhere!  Also coming soon: The James Bond and Indiana Jones review projects...

But let's get back to MacGyver and bring out the envelope!  Drumroll please -- bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum!  And the first episode is.....

LOST LOVE -- I complained in my review that we didn't know enough about Lisa Kohler's backstory.  Let's rectify that!
