I couldn't find the original thread for this challenge... it's been done before, but I think UW was the latest one to throw it out there. It's taken me awhile to get to this, but I finally did. SO now, for your seasonal enjoyment, I present to you a re-write of Gatchaman Episode 64 - The Deadly Christmas Presents. The Battle of the Planets Christmas Special Enjoy!

Absolutely loved it! This would've been a perfect BOTP Christmas ep! You did a wonderful job writing it!

Thanks, Baybee! That's what I was going for... the cheesiness and corniness we all remember form both BOTP and Christmas Specials when we were kids...

I share Springie's same sentiment, and I couldn't have expressed it better!

Beautiful stuff TJ. You have the BOTP eps stuff down pat. Are you sure you were not a contributor to the series?

LOL, does that mean that you think I can write Zark in true BOTP style? That scares me a bit... But as for the rest of it, I'm glad it worked well for you, CD and Marie!

TJ your story is fantastic! Giggle it's true you do write Zark and Susan very well, grin! Absolutely loved it!!! Felt like I was back to my childhood watching the show and hanging on every word. Thank you for sharing.

TJ, you did a perfect job writing Zark, just like the start of any episode, and then found an inventive way of making him far less annoying. This was a great read!

Ahem... well... I promised someone that I'd write a fic with less Zark and more Susan, so that had something to do with Zark's sudden departure... but yes, it did make the episode more pleasant, didn't it? Now, let's go see if I can add some more about Zark to the 'had to get this out' thread this morning...

Oh, wow, TJ!!! Finally found the time to really read your story! You did the adaption perfectly! Shame you weren't around when they were doing BotP in the first place - of course you were waaaaaaay too young - but you would have made a great series even better! And far less Zarked....

Ah, but it was being young that had me watching BOTP to begin with, and learning the ins and outs of its universe... I'm glad you enjoyed the adaptation, Green! When I wrote it I was mentally picturing myself as a kid, turning on the TV on December night to watch Christmas specials...
