ABOUT THE "IDLE SHADOWS" TRILOGY #1 -- Idle Shadow #2 -- To Thine Own Self #3 -- Shelter Idle Shadows: The Trilogy I originally wrote all these in a few minutes to sort of help myself come to grips with the change that occured between "Game Over" and "Icons". It isn't easy to explain everything in 16 weekly half-hour episodes, so we fans have to help =) I decided I could re-write these stories as fanfics and post them. By the time you read this, I may or may not have them all completed, but here is some information on each story. IDLE SHADOW Time frame: Begins between "Gigabyte" and "Trust No One", but mostly occurs while Matrix and AndrAIa are game-hopping. They are 19. Lead Character: AndrAIa TO THINE OWN SELF Time frame: Shortly after "Game Over". Enzo and AndrAIa are 11. Lead Character: Enzo/Matrix SHELTER Time frame: Game hopping. Matrix and AndrAIa are 15. Sets the stage for "Idle Shadow" Lead Character: The Shadows AUTHOR'S NOTES A fellow fanfic writer said to me "The hardest part (about writing a ReBoot fanfic) is to stay true to the characters." and under most circumstances, I would agree. The big problem I had was to try to recreate the characters. I kind of had to portray them as they were in the "transition" period. On top of that, I also had to do it three times. Anyway, I hope you find it believable. Jerry The Cow - leigh1@hfx.andara.com November 1997
