Phantasm 4.5: The Ice Cream Chronicles Chap.2-The Road Less Traveled I just read this, but am far too tired to fully comment on it having just gotten home from work. I will say that it's another excellent chapter and that I appreciate your addressing the events of previous films while advancing your own story. Trying to reconcile the Baldwin/LeGros thing is something that Stephen Romano also tried to do in his Phantasm V and you both pull it off nicely, if not differently. And the ending of your story had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD. Too funny, man. Did NOT see that coming! I cannot imagine the horrors that await Mike and Reggie inside that place!

Haha! Thanks Dustin, your compliments humble me. I am VERY appreciative that you enjoy these at all and am VERY glad that all the subtle nuances that would be lost or at least ignored anywhere else are not only acknowledged, but liked.. This is the first fan fiction i have ever done on anything. I can tell you it is intimidating to write about something that i myself love so much, let alone an entire community of fellow Phans seeing my work. I would love to go into a little more detail, but i am trying to keep the chapters simple and short so no one gets bored with it. I have to take a moment to say that again this is all for fun (i am having a ball with this myself, lol) ! I have never read any of the Phantasm scripts, actual or proposed, BUT i had heard of the Baldwin/Legros reconciliation in Romano's script and i fell in love with the idea of continuity being kept! Thanks again for the kind words!

Sunshine, i am not sure why a log in is required for download, i found that out myself when i posted the prologue and jumped over here to make sure it took. It would not let me download w/o being logged in.

I'm loving the chapters too! You really have a sense of Reggie's personality and way of speaking and that makes it very enjoyable! I love your focus on the spacegates. I'm very intrigued by the "split" Mike's (reminds me of P1999). I kept thinking how I love the "Sliders" idea of visiting alternate realities/personas and if I were Reg I probably would have tried to STAY in a kinder/safer alternate reality (unless, perhaps, the Tall Man hones in on him to then find/invade these realities, making Reg's presence a danger to any world he visits... hmmm...). I also liked the idea of the "Tall Man" hunting down all alternate versions of Mike (shades of "The One"). You have that extra flare of introspection and creativity that really brings your story to life. And the phan in me keeps hoping you'll get even more daring and maybe even try to answer a question or two about the Tall Man's ultimate plan (for Earth, for Mike, the purpose of the army)... It would be fun to see someone attempt something new with the franchise. Keep writing! We're really enjoying it!

Hey, thanks for the heads-up on the log in Dustin, makes perfect sense! Then again, i am doing good to find the "on" button for the computer so it doesn't take much to confuse me on the "why" of anything pc related, lol. Thanks Postmortem i appreciate the kind words and support! I have some very DARING ideas coming up, i am not sure how i feel about these ideas myself (except they scare the hell out of me, hoping i don't screw this up). As i mentioned, this is very intimidating to an extent, even though it is just for fun. Some of these questions will be answered, and as in all things Phantasm, more questions asked! Again, this makes it all worth while that everyone so far has been kind, and more importantly, has enjoyed this little project! I will say that i have something coming that i have never heard mentioned (unless this is something i have missed, and i hope not) and this is one of those..."whoa, do i really want to see this?" I dunno, i guess we all find out together afterward...
