Lack of Fanfic
Of late I've been watching a lot of older TV shows on DVD, including the first season Star Trek: The Next Generation, which is both better and worse then I remember. I could say more about it, but that might be for a later post when I finish with the season.

The other show I've been watching has been Columbo. I used to watch the TV movies of the series and was surprised to find that there never really was a series. It was always a set of TV movies, but original it was part of a rotating series of movies.

Either way it's been a good, and has aged fairly well. I've always enjoyed the slightly odd take on the usually detective story. It's always about watching Columbo take down the killer, who we get to see do the killing in the first act. It's not really a mystery, it's more like watching an interesting game of chess.

After finishing the first season I thought I would peek at FanFicition.net to see what fanfic had been done for the series. It turns out there isn't a category for Columbo, and a search pulls up a few references to the show, but no fanfiction at all.

Now, that isn't to say there is not Columbo fan fiction. In fact there seems to be one central sight for it at Just One More Paragraph (which I found from Peter Falk's website). I'll have to read over some of it.

Even so, the lack of anything on fanfiction.net feels like a challenge. I'm already playing with story ideas.
