Early Edition Fan Fic All stories by members of GTA.... Last update:  May, 2004

by Jayne
 
Bless the Beasties
In which Gary has adventures with various members of the wild kingdom and Chuck goes along for the ride.  Response to the EE Fanfic List Newbie Challenge.  First season.

Brown Penny (Parts 1 - 5)
Brown Penny  (Parts 6 - 11)
This fan fic exists in its own alternate universe.  The author confessed to being tired of Gary always losing at love, and never getting the girl.  Since the "real" writers of EE seem incapable of finding the right woman for Gary, nonniemous went out and found her for him.  Of course, nonnie being a true GTA member, this story rises above its original billing as simple GGS - Gratuitous Gary Smut.  (But, there's plenty of the GGS left for the Estrogen Brigade.)  Second season.

Summary:  Gary wants to steer clear of the mob after his past experiences with a runaway moll and as a protected witness.  Too bad the mob doesn't know that...

Cusp
A prequel of sorts; friendships begin on the cusp of change.
byperegrin anna

Deja
Now, I hate to give a specific spoiler warning, but there's a doozy of one in here, so I guess I'll just say that if you haven't seen the last half of the third season--or 'Time' from the fourth--you're not gonna want to read this.  Other than that, though--please enjoy!

Tension
Third season, missing scene for the episode where Erica learns the truth about the paper, and maybe Gary learns the truth about his feelings for Erica.    (Jayne sez:  A word of warning:  this is a typical example of my twisted, freakish sense of humour; it may be mildly offensive to anyone who liked Erica.  Just keep in mind: it's fanfic, and therefore meant in fun.)
by: Jayne

A missing scene from third season's "Halloween" episode.
by:Jayne
