I just dont have any ideas for any new ones so I would welcome any suggestions. Thank you.

oh boy, i sure love thinking of fanfics to do, it's so fun to think of how the characters will act. I have written over 45 fanfics for the Facts of Life series, but are you looking for somethign to do during a certain season? or it doesn't matter? or after the show ended? I don't ever remember there being an episode where wally graduates, he was a senior the last year of the show wasn't he? perhaps you could do that, or have you written a fan fic about wally when he gets married? or, i dunno if they did an episode about this (becuase i have not checked out the episode guide yet as i have been planning to) but what about wally's first steady girlfriend? or what about wally's prom night, wanting to stay out late with a girl? perhaps somethign like that... i always lean toward contraversial type of episodes, or episodes that have a bit of serious substance to them, although i sure do enjoy the funny ones, like today's episode about beaver getting his head stuck in the iron fence!

Well, i hope my ideas help you out, if not, i might just consider writing one for beaver myself!

It'll at least heat up the boards with some more fanfics! you seem to be the only one around here who writes them, and is good at it! Hope I helped you out!

Toodles!

I think you had the right idea in doing a "missing moment" story; that is, a story which links one season to another, or part of an ep which is not not seen ['the rest of the story'], or which is outside the time constraints of the series itself (as your last story). I am hoping to finish tonight the conclusion to "Summer of '59," the first 4 chapters of which I posted in the FanFiction part of this website, about the problems the Cleavers have in moving from the 'old' house of Maple Drive to the 'new' house on Pine Avenue.

Possible suggestions:

Another summer time story.

Miss Landers' Wedding Day (assuming she and Mr. Brittingham did get married).

Wally and Eddie Are Initiated into Alpha Kappa.

Beaver Tours America (take one or two spots Beaver and Gilbert visit on their cross-country tour).

Larry Returns (Mondellos move back to Mayfied just before he and Beaver start high school).

Uncle Billy's Will (Billy has many interesting possessions, including one valuable relic and he decides to leave it to Beaver.

Beaver Buys a Hotrod (Beaver at 16 pesters Ward until Ward lets him withdraw enough money from his $3500+ to buy his first car).

Last suggestion, but maybe best:
Beaver and Wally Want the Real Story (B & W insist on hearing how Ward and June met and married-- use any info from the original series, or ignore any of it).

Thank you both all of the suggestions were fine and I enjoyed just the thoughts of some of them!

You have a bunch of really good ideas so far. I like the graduation idea, how Ward and June met, and Larry M. returning to Mayfield to go to high school.

Here's a sad one. (Figures I would come up with a sad one): Ward's death

FOL85NatandMrsGRock · 08-26-2002, 10:12 PM

oooo, i like the idea about wards death!!! that's a good one....

BrandonS · 08-26-2002, 11:21 PM

sami dg,

I loved your story about Wally letting his friends drag race with Ward's car and I hope you continue to write them.

How about how when Wally married Mary Elen? Wait we could pair up on that one!
