Summary
The publisher's flyer for "The Roads Not Taken" describes it as a series of alternate and more romantically satisfactory developments taking off from ten first and second season episodes. "What was has been changed to what should have been."
From an expanded ad in volume #2 Of Love and Hope:
Did Catherine's smile as she watched Lena walk away with Vincent leave you cold? Weren't you a little ticked that Vincent didn't DO something to prevent Catherine from going to Elliot in Ozymandius? Did Vincent leaving Catherine's bed in Orphans disappoint you? Haven't you ever wondered what would have happened had Catherine unplugged the telephone in The Watcher?If you weren't quite satisfied with the way the episode went, then this zine was written for you. The episodes, Dark Spirit, God Bless the Child, Orphans, Arabesque, The Watcher, The Outsiders, A Kingdom by the Sea, What Rough Beast, and Ceremony of Innocence have been given a new twist. What was has been changed to what should have been.
All dialogue and storylines from the episodes are, of course, credited to the original screenwriters. The new material was written by Sandy P. Shelton with illustrations by Sandy C. Shelton.
And just one more question. What if Catherine's death was all a drug-induced nightmare that she awakened from safe and secure in Vincent's Chamber? (I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist just one more she's not dead story.)
If you find any of this intriguing, you'll enjoy this zine. The Crystal Rose Fan Group of NC is proud to present THE ROADS NOT TAKEN, available NOW.
