Mr. Sandburg Goes to Town

A Sentinelized Movie Slash AU Novel by Stormy Stormheller, based on the Frank Capra movie, 1936, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. Original Screenplay by Robert Riskin.

Fandom: The Sentinel
Pairing: Jim/Blair
Rating: PG-ish
Warning: AU
Beta’d by: [info]etui and the gals from Blackfly Presses[info]Thank you kindly.
Length: 50,000+ words
Disclaimer: This is a transformative work of fiction inspired by the TV show The Sentinel. Other than names and charaterizations, this puppy is all mine. 

Notes: This story is based on the 1930s movie script, re-set in 2006. Although I re-wrote almost every word, it is a “Sentinelized” movie and I take no credit for the original plot and storyline. The complete list of Sentinelized movies can be found here.

Mr. Sandburg Goes to Town was fun for me to write; I hope you’ll enjoy reading it. Thank you.

This was very enjoyable. Nicely done. I like the way you worked the characters in and the parts they played. Good images.

Thanks for sharing.

I think I'm in love! I've only read a little bit - being at work and pretending to do so and all - but so far I'm giggling like crazy. You have so captured Blair in his part!

I've printed out your story so I can read it on the train home, without these silly interuptions such as customers and my boss - I look forward to reading it all!

>>I've only read a little bit - being at work and pretending to do so and all

That seems very appropriate since a lot of the novel was written at work while I was trying to look busy. ;-)

>>I've printed out your story

Thank you for declaring my story "ink-worthy" and for taking the time to comment.

You did a fabulous job of integrating The Sentinel characters we know and love into their new roles. The scene titles were great, so funny. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I loved the movie, and I think you did a terrific job of blending the original version with TS canon characters and events. As always, your writing is a delight to read. Thanks for what must have been a considerable investment of time and energy to give us this story.

Oh, hey, I just noticed you're from Toronto! I grew up in Kitchener-Waterloo, and am returning to that area later this year (if my current house ever sells!) I lived in Toronto for five years. So neat to know you're a Canadian!

We have a gang that gets together every Tuesday if you're ever in town.
