Dear friends,

Whilst going through some old files I discovered many stories I have written about The Fat Controller’s engines over the years, but decided not to release for various reasons. Over the next few weeks I shall be periodically releasing some of my favourites (1/2)

‘Daisy Story’ (2018)

[Prickles @PrickleyProblem]

Today’s story has the unique distinction of being the single worst thing I’ve ever written. Couldn’t find any indication of a title other than the obvious working title of ‘Daisy Story’, so let’s just call it that https://t.co/vDIH0DWrnL

‘Oliver’s Army’ (2020)

[Prickles @PrickleyProblem]

Next story from the vault is called ‘Oliver’s Army’. Not a lot interesting about this one, just a first draft I never bothered touching up. Although I may or may not have come up with the title first and then worked backwards

(Yes I’m aware this is early, but I won’t have access to the Internet tomorrow and didn’t want to miss a day so here we are)

Obviously the whole thing is a parody of terrible fan “rewrites” that just copy and paste the original text, substitute one character for another, and call it an improvement without doing anything to fix the flawed story at its core. Thought it funny enough to share

[Prickles @PrickleyProblem]

Here’s a fun one; ‘Mel Shiri the Mel Shiri Engine’. A collection of 4 rewrites of subpar TV Series episodes, compiled into a pseudo-Railway Series volume and themed around my own OC, Mel Shiri (Resemblances to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental.)

‘Three Cheers for Mel Shiri’

Next up is ‘Snail’s Crawl’. This was written in early 2020 as an episode of TheSodorWanderer’s series ‘The Railway’s Magic’. Ultimately the series never got off the ground, and the story was forgotten about

The first vaulted story is called ‘Percy’s Place’, this was originally meant to be a collaboration between myself and my friend @/KnapTerm, but we just never got around to it. So here’s my initial, rough draft of the idea:

And with that I’m gone, gone, gone

Toot toot, farewell, goodbye

@suddysoapbar Upon googling the term it turns out I was grossly misusing it

Replace special with niche or weird, that’ll be more appropriate for getting my point across

I am 100% convinced I’d have grown completely out of Thomas when I was 15, if only the whole lockdown thing hadn’t devastated my social life and forced me to become dependent on the Twitter fandom to fill the void of social interaction

[Prickles @PrickleyProblem]

According to my YouTube watch history I haven’t actually watched Thomas in nearly a year, oh well nevermind
