I... think I can only describe it with these photoshopped images:
Shocking. Have you ever had any Faction Paradox related dreams? Maybe you too can illustrate them. |

just one, the Celestis had a pyramid-shaped base behind Durham Cathedral where they were abducting people and forcing them to accept indenture as a sign of
their belief in the christian god. I (as a curious and disruptive Faction agent) meddled to see what would happen and alas the next day the pyramid was gone
and so were a lot of people (ie the ones who'd been tricked into indenture) I found myself more interested in cartoons at the point and then realised I was
naked apart from my skull mask, at which point I woke up...no more cheese on toast for me!

NATD: Can we have subtitles for those familiar with neither Evil Renegade fandom-wank nor Thomas the Tank Engine?
Ushas: turn that dream into a story. Please. The Stacks - the site for

I find the eyebrows over the skull face on the train particularly disturbing...

Unfortunately not. Some agents of the Faction lose their shadows - I believe I lost dreams instead.

Well okay, here's the dream in the best detail I can remember:
I dreamed that Lawrence terminated his contract with Random Static and started collaborating with Rev. W. V. Awdry, to the surprise of everyone. After many intense brainstorming sessions they came up with an idea; Traction Paradox, a mish-mash of their two brainchilds. The first episode aired (yes, this was a television show, with Pierce Brosnan narrating), which was just the Thomas the Tank Engine theme using the same synths as the BBV theme. The Traction replaced the 'naughty trucks' that were previously in the series, Russell T Davies took on the role of the Fat Controller (which is actually quite appropriate, no matter what way you take it), Gary Russell made a cameo as Thomas, and Cornell became 'Percy Cornell'. As you can see, Percy turned out to be very popular with the women, the first photoshop was a picture taken at one of the fan conventions. Anyway, the trucks attempted to take the life of Gary Russell, knocking him off the tracks and smashing into the Big Finish headquarters. The Fat Controller was absolutely abhorred by this, but Godfather Gridlock (last one pictured) looked at the camera and whispered, 'Such are the ways of Traction Paradox'. The end, credits roll. Abject failure. Rev. W. V. Awdry had a heart attack from the bad reviews, and Lawrence went back to his apartment to write some more Faction Paradox. The end. |

You can't fool me. This is just the plot of one of the missing episodes of Through the Eye of Eternity!

ok, it was about these teams of workers that lived in underhistory, time was explained like a cloth of fabric with normal history on one side and all the other
potential what if's on the other side in underhistory and when history was damaged in the time war the repair teams underneath tried to repair things so
that their side came out on the winning side, it didn't always work because a team was too far away or busy at the time, but the under history was like
Kings Cross station and they saw the damage as potholes forming on the concourse. There were only about twenty teams and they could barely keep up with the
repairs. The teams consisted of two people, a 103 capsule and a chatty robot side-kick (as biologicals would eventually wear out/get tired, they could replace
mechanicals much easier too). The problem was that every now and again the repair teams would be attacked by an unseen enemy that tried to push them into one
of the holes, forcing them out of the underhistory...
