Introduction

So, I had this thought. Those of you who’ve had any experience in dealing with me outside of this bloggish environment, please, feel free to cringe. I know you wanna. I was considering rewatching the show for the umpteenth million time because it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.

Now most people who do that and blog will write reviews or share thoughts they’ve had as they watched. That’s the pattern I’ve noticed. And I could do that, but—

I had this thought.

I believe that there’s at least one short story in every episode. I think we’ve proven that time and again as a community. Instead of reviewing, I’m going to play with that. I have plot seeds for the first three episodes. From there, I won’t guarantee anything, but I’ll try to squeeze in more as I ~~find~~ steal the time.

Some of the stories might be ’shippy. Some of them will be silly. My life lacks in silly. I love silly. So silly will probably be a thing. I might spackle a crack in the story. Who knows? I won’t promise perfect canon conformance, but I’m going to start with that as a goal. I’d like these things to fit with the mythology without radically altering it. I do that enough in my more ambitious works.

I’m not sure how far I’ll get. Realistically, there are 144 episodes. If I break that down, I’d need to write a dozen stories a month to complete this within a year. That’s not gonna happen, so…

We’ll see.
