Robbie C. Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Given the amount of fan fiction posted, I thought I’d try to help readers find what they might wish to read by breaking down my fiction. Others may add to this if they wish, of course. My fiction breaks down into three distinct periods: Prequel, Series Timeline, and Post-Series (also called Task Force). The Task Force novels (yes, they’re novel-length) center on the OCB characters with some additions of my own and chart one possible path for the team in the changing world after the series. They’re posted here as multi-part stories (so read them in order unless you want to be confused…the links go to Part I in every case). I also include page counts for those who are interested in such things. It also gives you an idea of how long the novels are...something that's hard to gauge based on rough part divisions. For the short stories that occupy the other periods, I’ll break them down by when the story takes place (including which season and in some cases which episodes it falls between for those in the Timeline), where it’s set, and who the main character is. It’s all listed in chronological order based on when the story’s set, even though they weren’t written in that order. Observant folks might notice one short piece isn’t included here. I never really framed when Exploration took place, except that it would have been sometime late in Season 3 or early in Season 4. It’s not included because it’s more of an experiment than part of the main line of my fiction. But it does show one possible direction for Sonny…even if it’s not a good one. So you’ve been warned. Prequel Junior Year Overseas UofF Sonny Crockett Yesterday is Tomorrow Vietnam Castillo/Dave/Randy (last two are Task Force characters) Snakes in the Mist Vietnam Castillo Cowboy Da Nang Sonny Crockett Wave Rider Laos Castillo The Last Stop Miami Hank Weldon Whispers Miami Sonny Rear View Miami Sonny/Lou Calm Before the Storm New York City Rico Series Timeline Partners Sonny/Rico/Lou Season 1 - after the pilot Bridges Rico Season 1 - between the pilot and Heart of Darkness All I Want for Christmas Stan Switek Season 2-ish Rotten to the Core Sonny Crockett Season 2 - after "All I Want for Christmas" King’s Pawn Stan Switek Season 2 – before Phil The Shill Street Talk Noogie Season 2 B-U-R-N-E-Double T Sonny Crockett Between Season 2 and Season 3 The Final Bell Larry Zito Season 3 - Down for the Count highlights from Larry's PoV Just a Favor Stan Switek Season 3 – right after Down for the Count Payback Castillo Season 3 - Post Down for the Count The Golden Touch Trudy Joplin Season 4 – after Missing Hours Homebodies Sonny Crockett Season 4 – before Deliver us from Evil Vengeance is Mine Sonny Crockett Season 4 – before Mirror Image White Lies Sonny Burnett Between Season 4 and 5 - right after Mirror Image Flying Solo Rico Between Season 4 and 5 Power Play Sonny Burnett Between Season 4 and 5 Post-Series/Task Force The More Things Change...

(373 paperback pages) Post Task Force Half Life Sonny Post everything else Special Genesis (451 paperback pages) SEARCH TIP: If you're looking for all the parts of these (or any other) stories, try this handy tip: If you're reading a story and want to find the rest, try searching the forum using the story title. Both MJ and I were pretty consistent when naming our threads, so that should bring up each part when you search. When you click in the search box, just check "this forum" (if you're in the Fan Fiction forum already...if not leave it alone), then "content titles only" (the last box in the search dropdown). That's the most precise way to do it. I just modified the novel links to bring up the search results based on the novel title. So if you click on Genesis, it will bring up all the parts of Genesis. If you change the sort to "by date" you'll get them in order. Edited January 10 by Robbie C. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie C. Posted August 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 If other authors want to add their stuff, I'd suggest replying to this thread so it's all in one place and kinda organized. And maybe a mod would consider pinning it to the top so it doesn't get lost... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie C. Posted August 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 The older fan fiction is harder for me to break down and classify. I might take a stab at it, but I don't know how successful I'll be. I'd also like to point people to a story MJ and I wrote in tandem called Double Vision. She did Crockett's point of view, while I stuck to Tubbs. It was kind of an experiment for us, and is set after Definitely Miami in Season 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie C. Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm taking the liberty of adding a guide for MJ's stories as well. She'd typed up the guide, but was having issues adding links. Like mine, all links go to part one of a particular story. MJ's VIce Stories Flashback Sonny/Castillo 1984- Season 1 parallel to "One Eyed Jack" If Only Sonny/Castillo 1989- Season 5, Post Redemption in Blood Pied Piper Sonny/Billy 1992- Post Season 5 Second Chances Sonny 1994- Post Season 5 Watching Sonny/Gina 1992 to 1998 -Post Season 5 Castillo/Rico 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) In the past I had written several fan fictions either in german and with the help from my american cousin also in english. All my fan fictions have novel length and are playing after the series. I think in 2010 or so. I would be happy if one could find them in a reader's guide.

Robbie C. Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 It's easy enough to do. You can list them and add links to the start of each story. I've looked through the older stuff and find it hard to break down, honestly. It's better if whoever wrote it does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and, of course, you can only hit people who comment that way. There are likely people who read these who don't comment, and I don't want to leave them out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Oh okay. Not sure if I understand you, but when you do the @ signs, those people get a notification (yes they suck on a phone with the current version), and anyone can still see the post in the feed. Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding here. No big deal either way. Just trying to help as a fellow creator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding here. No big deal either way. Just trying to help as a fellow creator. Yeah, I know how the notifications work and that stuff still shows in the feed. It's just with the new 'feature' on mobile versions they're almost more trouble than they're worth. I do appreciate the thought. Of course, if there are folks who'd like to be notified when I post new stuff, feel free to let me know. I'd don't mind adding the '@' stuff.

Robbie C. Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I just modified the novel links to bring up all parts of the novel as a search to make it easier to find them. If you change the sort from "Relevancy" to "Date" it will sort them in order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
