Years ago, fans of my stories requested that I create a series of fanfiction stories that would rewrite Season 9 of Little House on the Prairie: A New Beginning. As we had previously discussed here, Season 9 seemed to find the writers of Little House on the Prairie having exhausted the source material. With the Ingalls family now living in Burr Oak, Iowa, the Carters had moved into the little house on Plum Creek. Royal, father to two pesky boys--Myron and Rupert--in Season 7, suddenly had a young daughter named Jenny and no wife.
No one can deny Michael Landon's ability to write stories that tugged at the heartstrings. If he and his team weren't so talented, we wouldn't be talking about the show more than 50 years after it originally aired. As we can now stream and binge-watch Little House on the Prairie, however, those kinds of details become more noticeable.
Needing some stress relief, I revisited the first four chapters of that rewrite of the episode "Times Are Changing" that I had begun earlier. If you're curious about it, you will find the updated chapters here. I've changed some points of view and corrected grammar. Maybe I will keep going with it. Not sure how much time in the schedule there will be, but now I want to get back to it. Hope you enjoy the first four chapters.
