Hi all -

Latest batch of stories are now up. Our featured author is Bruce Jividen, who added 5 stories to the Archive. Bruce also contributed his nifty section separator, which you'll start seeing elsewhere. Thanks Bruce!

It's a rather eclectic collection this time, with some stories where Paul and Scott don't even appear, two by our first totally anonymous author, one somewhat out of season, three featuring the fictional version of a real life character, and one crossover with ROSWELL with a trace of THE X-FILES. I'm honored to include a story by the late Ken McDaniel, a longtime STARMAN fan, and officer of The Robert Hays International Fan Club (TRHIFC) who would welcome each first time visitor to a Family Con with their very own silver sphere. I still cherish mine. Ken also started providing tapes of the episodes long before DVD's even came out. Sadly, we're going to have a Dead Authors Society section of the Archive, but I'm happy we can capture their legacy. In any event, here we go:

"But Who Would Stand For Me?" by A Nonymous, 1999, 2303 words http://archiveofourown.org/works/390500

3 years later, Paul and Scott return to visit Gus, the illiterate "Pearl Diver" whom Paul worked with at The Blue Dolphin Cafe. Paul had left him inspired to learn to read and write in Episode 22, "The Test". Did Gus ever make it? Did Lorraine Michaels, one of Scott's teachers who had agreed to help Gus, succeed, or was it a hopeless task? And what became of Bo Bradley, the red headed bully who so tormented Scott? Did he learn anything from the encounter?

There have been a few sightings of the alien or his look alike over the years. Wylie is sent to a Beverly Hills theater to investigate an apparent sighting of the alien.

"Masquerade" by starborn_scribe, 2000, 36,889 words http://archiveofourown.org/works/390674

On December 6, 1999 Scott Hayden, the 27 year old son of the Starman and Jenny Hayden, arrived in Roswell tired, scared, and more than a little paranoid. He'd driven for three days after narrowly escaping capture in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. The peaceful existence that Scott and his family had enjoyed for nine years had evaporated. Alone in Roswell, Scott needed a paycheck to live on while he waited for his parents to join him -- and for the nightmare to end. Of the classified ads in the local newspaper the temporary teaching position at the high school interested Scott. Little did he know how interesting his students would be.
