- Description:
As if the series continued after a looooong hiatus, the following is a new set of episodes in Screenplay format.Set around 22 years after after the established Sliders canon, we revisit the world where Maggie, Mallory, and Diana were stuck at the end of the series.
They've built a life here, and their fame has given them easy lives of luxury- if somewhat isolated. Maggie settled down with Mallory, and they had a child.
Sliding is the furthest thing from Mallory's mind, but he keeps waking up more tired than he was the night before.
Meanwhile, Maggie knows why, and she's reluctant to tell.
This is the start of a series of unlikely events in rapid succession that culminate in many of the cast being reunited. But even after all the joyful reunions, Colin is still lost. Will they ever bring him home?
p.s. Let me know if you want me to split them up by act into chapters. I did it with episode 10 out of necessity but I don't know if it's needed on the others.

Contains queer themes, though does not contain any sexual content past kissing and passing references to sex. It's written as if it were a real PG TV show.
I hope you enjoy it, as I worked extremely hard on each script, and edited like crazy, even while churning them out every few days thanks to ADHD hyperfocus.
I include some colour markers in my scene headings, denoting the specific version of Earth the scene is taking place on (it gets complicated).
