The Vastarnyi & Dexter Chronicles -- an Introduction.

Several years ago, when Chris and I first discovered fandom, we wanted to explore every aspect of S&H -- and like many other writers in fanfic, we began a 'how-they-met' story.

We weren't far into it before it dawned on us that whoever we were writing about, they weren't S&H! So we had a choice -- junk the story and start again, or continue with it and see where it led.

We continued (it seemed a good idea at the time) as we are both keen on experiment -- and out of this first story, A DIFFERENT DRUMMER, the characters we now know as Jonathan Michael Dexter III and David Andras Vastarnyi emerged.  They were interesting enough in their own right for us to write more --  and eventually we showed some of the stories to a fellow fan. She asked if she could show someone else -- and it snowballed from there. People on both sides of the Atlantic began reading and enjoying the adventures of our two heroes. But back to the stories. Since these were our characters, we were not constrained by the 'canon' of an aired show. So all the stuff we wanted to do with S&H, and didn't dare because for one reason or another it didn't fit, we were able to do with V&D.  We have been able to invent backgrounds, families, relationships, and all the other good stuff, but with far more freedom and scope. And the continuing interest of our readership makes us think we must be doing something right! We are always happy to receive LoCs, questions, and constructive comments.  Tell us what you think!
