Fan-Fiction


In the late seventies and throughout the eighties, there was a significant burst of fanfiction published in various fanzines. Among the shows that found a second life in print was TNA. A few enthusiastic fans penned further adventures for Steed, Gambit, and Purdey long before I was even born, let alone picked up a pen. Having collected several stories, I'm making them available here. I do not have the authors' permission to do so, but as I've no way of contacting them, and it seems better to have them available to be enjoyed by new readers than leave them to gather dust, I'm posting them here. Rest assured, all credit is given, and I'm certainly not claiming any of this as my own work. I'm simply posting it for the enjoyment of other fans. If you are the author of the fiction, and happen upon this site, please contact me if you would like it to be removed.

As Published in "Wynter Tydes."
  • Run, Rabbit, Run: Something's happening to Gambit. Something deadly. Published in "Wynter Tydes #6" (1983).
  • The Perfect Assassin: What's worse than being targeted by an assassin? Finding yourself caught between two assassins! Purdey finds herself as the target. But one word to Gambit and Steed, and the whole team will end up targets.
  • Debt Paid, In Blood: First TNA story in the fan-made "Karenina Chronicles" series, which featured original character (and Mary Sue) Karenina Bosov, a woman from Steed's past.
  • Night and Day: Second TNA story in the "Karenina Chronicles." The character went on to cross-over with several other TV series characters, such as Remington Steele, but also appeared with the TNA cast on other occasions. Sadly, these are the only two I have at the moment.

Cindy Phares

As Published in "With Umbrella, Charm, and Bowler."
  • A Matter of Life & Death: When a fellow agent is jailed on a murder charge and sentenced to death in a foreign country, Steed sends Gambit into the prison to aid in his escape. Getting arrested proves easy. Surviving the brutal prison conditions is much more difficult, as Gambit finds out the hard way.

Steve Mabon and Cindy Stabile

Stand-alone story. Not printed in any publication
  • Sleeping Bear's Gambit: A strange piece. Riddled with typos and a little fast and loose in terms of characterisation, it centres around Steed's untimely demise, and the after-effects as Purdey and Gambit try to carry on without him. Gambit throws himself into a romance with a Purdey lookalike, neglecting the real Purdey, who fears her mind is unraveling...
