Her The nerve of the man. To speak to me in that sort of way. Who does he think he is? Nothing more than second-in-command. I have greater ambitions than a mere lackey. I deserve the best. And anyway, shouldn’t he be flying the plane instead of trying to invite me on a dinner date? Not even a good chat–up line. I have done my research thoroughly. Tall and slender….
As Dr Jackson is currently en route to London ( lucky sod) and therefore incommunicado, I am answering a couple of the letters that he has received for his ‘Problem Page’. He owes me a couple of bottles of decent malt for doing this! Alec. Dear Dr Jackson A couple of weeks ago one of my colleagues at work persuaded me to sign up for a speed dating session….
Got to talking the other day with another writer and we got off onto why do we write fan fiction. Specifically UFO fan fiction in this case. Why DO I write UFO fan fiction? Because it’s there? That’s only partially true. My first UFO fan fiction was written the summer after I discovered the show. There was so much to explore. There was Straker and his repressions and duty and…
Has anyone else noticed how much fans of the original series completely slaughter the 2004 movie? I must admit, I am one such person. It’s got to the point where no one will even watch it with me anymore, because I spend the whole time criticising it and yelling at the screen that they have got it wrong! Why is Alan so much younger? Where on earth did Fermat and…
Aquaboi gives us his rather unique ‘take’ on the pilot episode: Identified Glowing ufo-worked. Splattering hot babes with machine guns-worked. Alien in trees shooting-worked. Hot chick lamely trying to crawl up tree and screaming – didn’t work [ would have rather seen her grabbed and taken or splattered as she tried in vain to crawl up a tree.] UFO /Rolls Royce chase – all of it worked. Henderson being tossed…

Doctor Fawn looked for the umpteenth time at his patient. He was relieved to see that the enormous stress seemed to have eased. The heart rate seemed to have slowed too. When the President had been brought in, it had been pounding fit to burst. He was just about to turn away when patient stirred slightly. That was a good sign. Fawn now knew that the President was in with…
Chapter 16 Jeff could do nothing but stand there blinking as his mother leant gratefully on Parker’s arm as the faithful servant helped her down from the plane. Luckily, his son had slightly more of his wits about him, and, dropping the bags he had been given, Virgil hurried forward. Taking his grandmother’s arm, he carefully steered the old lady across the hanger and back towards his father. No sooner…
‘One UFO, Commander. Travelling slowly.’ ‘Exactly how slowly Lieutenant?’ Straker’s hand rubbed the bristles on his jaw. The sixth incursion in twenty-four hours. He wondered if it would end the same way as the other five. In failure. Different approach patterns, different speeds, different directions. There was no consistency to any of the attacks. ‘Speed S.O.L. zero decimal five.’ There was a pause, ‘It’s increased speed ..,’ Another pause, longer…
