Maureen's What If Challenge!
 
 






In Maureen's own words: The challenge is for writers to create an AU version of an episode where some small (or maybe not so small) thing results in big changes in the course of events. I think it would be fun to see how people could show how differently events in an episode could have happened as a result of just one piece of the puzzle being changed, added or subtracted. For instance, what would have happened in The Illusion if Rollie had gotten the phone message from Rick before he headed off with Lucinda/Jennifer? How would Pay Back have turned out if Bluey hadn't found the RAM card? How would Rollie have survived in Shivaree if he hadn't been standing right where he could get that grenade? And, biggest of all, how would things have happened differently in all the second season episodes if Leo hadn't been killed?

Legal stuff - Disclaimer: Rollie Tyler, Angie Ramirez, and the other characters of F/X: The Series do not belong to us. They belong to Rysher, Hallmark Entertainment, Fireworks and a lot of other folks who just aren't playing with them anymore. Just hoping to have a little fun!

So pick an episode, any episode and see what changes if you change that one thing! Leo still alive, a message missed or received earlier, this turn or that turn? What if....??? Van Duran hadn't seen Rollie with Francis in "Quicksilver"? Leo hadn't found out that Dingo had been arrested and his court date was up in "Dingo"? Mangela didn't enlist Rollie's help against Luther Cale in "Ritual"? (I know! Unlikely given Rollie's Dreaming) Loubar didn't use Rollie and Angie to get out of Britain in "Deep Cover"? Colleen missed the thieves in "High Risk"? Harmon didn't take the stunt car in "Zero Hour"? The car missed Rick and his fellow stunt lady in "French Kiss"? Taia had stayed away from Rollie in "Eye of the Dragon"? Angie wasn't with Rollie in "Double Image"? They'd gotten the right woman in "Reunion"? Rollie had been beside the pickup in "Vigilantes" instead of Angie? What if...?
