Hello everyone and welcome to a re-birth/re-post of the "virtual" season 4 that was created by many devoted Chlex shippers several years ago. Recently, I've received a few emails about people wanting to read these again, but not being able to find them all. Simple reason for that--my web provider decided to take down my site and give me all kinds of problems, and since that site hosted the v4.1 site, it disappeared. However, I have all the episodes saved and am going to be reposting them here for those interested, those curious, and those who simply want to re-read some wonderful visions of how things should or could have gone after season 3 if we fans took over the writing.
Some notes to understand this undertaking:
1) These are written as episodic stories that together form a virtual Season 4, that starts off right where Season 3 left it. They are written in story form, but they must be read in order, just like you'd watch them if they were episodes on TV.
2) THIS IS NOT A TOTAL CHLEX-FEST. While all the writers love and adore Chlex, we wanted to stay true to how we though the show should have progressed. That said, we branched off in MANY different directions than the real season 4 went, and we tried to make things as realistic and character driven as possible. There's definitely Chlex interaction and such, but these episodes, like a real TV season, focus on ALL characters (yes, including Lana) and how we, the authors, thought things should have developed if the writers had any sense in them.
3) This was a massive collaborative effort among many familiar names you've seen or read on this site. EVERY AUTHOR put much time and work into these episodes and after rereading them recently myself, I must say we have some massively talented people here, always have and always will. (Oh, and a note to the authors themselves, hopefully you don't have a problem with these being re-posted, but if you do, PM me and we'll see what we can do.)
4) This was written about 7 years ago after Season 3 (and arguably when most of us here thought seeing a Season 9 would be inconceivable). Keep that in mind please, as these stories don't relate in any way to the current (or past few) seasons. Also, a major thanks to Julie for setting this forum up and being so willing to host these stories-since I am so burned by web providers I'll probably never do a personal site again.
I think that explains the basics ... so hold on for the ride, or the re-ride. Whatever the case may be, I sincerly hope you enjoy the simple visions of some dedicated fans--many of whom I am happy to say still are active or lurk around here today.
And a final note ... CHLEX rules. Always has. Always will, no matter what the writers have done to us.
