For the last couple of years, I've been writing fanfiction based on the TV show 'The Big Valley', which has expanded to involve the Westerns 'Maverick', 'Paradise', and 'The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.'
Mostly dramas, a little romance, a little humor, a couple of mysteries, a couple of epistolary short stories. It's been a great way to try different things, and harder than it might seem - I've had to do, and am still doing, a great deal of historical research (I've even read the 1872 California Penal Code! Gosh, I love Google Books!).
I've got in mind mainstreaming one of the stories into a novel or novelette - when I get done with the current tale I'm working on. More research, though, so we'll see where it goes.
