EGB Spin-Off: The Riveras

Link to all episodes and blurbs.

Mind you, there really isn't very much to see on the day of posting. We kick off on July 31st with a story set approximately seven months after the end of Jake's and my EGB virtual season (on this board).

Again, you can expect contributions from both of us, but more from me.

This time we're basing the content on the idea of a later time slot, and using The Simpsons for our guidelines. This may include episodes that Channel 4 over here in the UK decided to air at more like 8.30pm than 6.30pm, which is still very message board friendly indeed, of course.

See you at the end of the month!

There has been a slight change of URL address to the first story, meaning the link above will no longer work (unless a moderator edits the post, obviously). The story can now be found here.

Now on with the business at hand...

Episode 2: August - A Friend in Need, by Jake.

When Oscar comes to stay with Kevin, Carl worries about their relationship. Meanwhile, the two boys decide to go out and get some information for Kevin's school project, and end up finding more than they bargained for.

Too bad you don't know any of them here. Oh wait... :lol:

In other words, the link has been revised. :)
