Knight Rider fan fiction

Post by kitt34 » Wed Sep 10, 2003 5:51 pm

I'm doing a Knight Rider fan fiction story
it's the fifth season after the fourth

Here are my episodes

Season 5th 1986-87
The Return of Goliath Part 1

Garth survives, but his evil truck didn't
and finally gets revenge against michael
knight and kitt with an even deadiler goliath
with a gas tank

The Return of Goliath Part 2
Kitt gets trashed completely by goliath
but returns even more powerful than ever
to stop them.


Tanya Returns

The Evil tanya you thought was killed
in the very first episode of Knight Rider
is back to destroy michael once and for all
and she lets comtron return as well


Knight of the goliath and super juggernut
The Juggernut is this time the deadliest
when goliath escaped from prison
and so does super terrorist Phillp Normstrom
and brings back the juggernut
with the little person (who faked his death?)
to kill Kitt and Michael Knight


Knight of the goliath and super juggernut Part II
Kitt is destroyed and exploded completely
by goliath and juggernut
after michael knight escapes from
his car
Kitt returns in a 1987 Trans-am
with super molecular bonded shell
and mega pursuit mode
so the car can go even more than 600 miles per hour
sleeker and more powerful then ever.

I hate to sound like this, and I am honestly a great supporter of fan fiction, but those all seem like copies of already existing episodes. It may be different after writing it, but generally the readers would like to see something original, something that comes from you, not is a copy off of something already existant. There are already fan fiction stories that integrate some of the ideas that you have come up with, but they are not the main focus of such.

It could be interesting, but I think that a little more plotline and original story needs to go into it, if you truly want to, it might make it more inviting to the readers who are looking towards reading 'the continuing adventures' rather than rehashing of the originals.

Yes, originality is a big fat MUST. If you want to do the 'Returns' stories, I suggest you do them few and far between. Create your own world with it's own possibilities and plots, don't rip off the episodes you already saw, and don't recreate those episodes. If you wanna do a 'returns' story, add your own special twist, and create a different plot. Kitt getting destroyed at every turn isn't exactly fun for most of us. Just once in a while it makes a good story.

Do it yourself, don't stand on the shoulders of the show writers.

If you want a season opening plot twist, I have an idea about Garth and KARR taking over the roles of michael and KITT as crime fighters for a few episodes. Maybe KITT is damaged, michael is threatened with death if he steps on foundation property, Bonnie is unable to help so michael finds April to fix KITT. This can go on for a few episodes.

The idea of recurring villians can be a tricky one. The first example that springs to my mind of a good example of how to do it is (unsurprisingly) STar Trek TNG.

Lore, Q, Duhrass; these were not charecters that kept just annoyingly popping back up. With each new episode they grew, different sides of them were explored, and different situations were created by, and around them.

I have some ideas about new KARR epsiodes too, but I'm constantly revising them so they don't sound like "KARR Returns" Maybe you should think about villians like Lore, or the Cigarette Man from X-files, or some other famous recurring adversary, and see how you could apply your observations about them to a new story about Garth, or KARR.

Just freindly suggestions. :)
