I’ve been a huge fan of Thunderbirds since the 1990s resurrection, and writing about their adventures just seemed to come naturally. However, as great as the show, tended to be, it also left a lot to the imagination and never dealt with key or interesting questions. For instance, why Kyrano and the Hood’s connection never got investigated, or why the Tracys never went after the Hood to check the footage of the machines was destroyed. Also, what the heck did they do all day?
While the show went off the air again, I was still spurred to write by the gorgeous, often surreal Thunderbirds universe within the Thunderbirds comics – Frank Bellamy’s artwork and some crazy storylines really opened me up to what was possible. I also read a lot of other fiction which cross-pollinated into my wish for more than the TV show could provide, and my stories about them invariably become darker and ultimately a lot stranger.
I only really discovered fan fiction when I got hold of the internet, and even then the idea of a proper community of likeminded fans was a great thing to find. Finally, somewhere to put these strange ideas! The main stories in which I explored these ideas are now available below, and while there still aren’t as many there as I’d like to have written (yet) they all put the Tracys into situations that push them beyond the regular rescue, and sometimes towards something much scarier than giant alligators.
So I hope you enjoy them, and if you do, keep your fingers crossed for more stories in the future!
Thank you, and FAB.
