ROFLMAO!!! Amusing, audacious, all Allan!! (AND a bit of alliteration!). Loved this! THIS is what should have happened with the gang once Robs died, instead of some silly half-brother. I always thought Allan had the brains, just not the confidence, to be a leader. Rather a rollicking read! (I'm on a roll!)

Thank you for the kind comments, and the alliteration!

I absolutely agree with you about what should have happend after Robin's demise. Until Allan's fate came to light I had it all planned out. There'd be a power struggle between Tuck, Archer, and Allan to decide who should lead, and Allan would eventually win through. Then there would be continual friction (and not the good sort!) between the three of them to the end of the season. But what do I know?

Ah, see, I had Tuck and Archer dying in the final struggle in Nottingham, along with Kate (didn't like those 3 much--I know, you can't tell! ;) ). Little John, being so sensitive, is too devastated to carry on, so it's up to Allan, Mr Sesible, to take the reins. BTW, Guy survives the final confrontation in my version as well; Vasey and Isabella's fates are unsure. I feel a little ficlet coming on.

I saw Archer realising he's not up to leading, then coming over to support Allan, leading to Tuck demanding the gang make a choice between him and Allan, and them all standing by Allan, giving Tuck a "don't let the door hit your arse on the way out" look - exit Tuck stage left!

I agree Guy should have survived, so he and Allan could play the reversal of roles game - imagine his face being ordered around by Allan. :)

I agree I wouldn't miss Kate if she died. In fact I liked the character so little I can't even be bothered to think of a clever way to get rid of her - maybe she falls down a well, with spikes at the bottom, and that's that. Or, Allan banishes her for upsetting Much in the previous series.

Archer I would keep, though I don't like the name, but only as eye candy. Maybe he could be used to lure female villans into traps - basically every week he'd be tied to a tree with his shirt off.

Can't wait to see your series 4 ficlet.

Am writing it as we speak. Would love to see your version, if for nothing else than to see this power "struggle" & the look on Tuck's face as he is summarily dismissed. Yeah, don't think Archer would want the lead reins if he were alive, but he'd chafe at getting orders, nonetheless. I agree, the switch in power with Guy/Allan would be funny--was planning on incorporating that possibly in this fic, maybe in another where there's a scene of that by itself.
