Cortexiphan, abilities: We know that she doesn't remember the trials. But what does she remember from all those years? Are there any signs of her abilities ( ... )

I have always wondered about Olivia's biological father.

We know that Peter and Olivia met each other for the first time in Jacksonville. This has never been addressed later on. They always had this strong bond and connection, why did they never wonder why? Why does Olivia's gift s only come to live when Peter is around?

Olivia's early relationship with Peter will be touched upon.

I don't know... John Scott was the character that almost made me give up Fringe. I think I'll skip that novel - sorry, I can't stand him :( - but I'm definitely interested in Peter's novel. He's still such a mystery. He's never been allowed a voice about his mind and feelings in the show, so I'm looking forward to this one. I've always been interested in his life as the drifter, that did a thousand of different jobs, but I'm somewhat wary about how you might tackle this, because the comics made him such a horrible character with zero morals and Peter has never been depicted like that in Fringe, not even at the beginning of the show. Somewhat shady and amoral, maybe, but he was never evil. Could you ease my mind about that?

Another thing I've missed about Peter in the show has been his emotional development during those years before he returned to Boston. Will you get to tell us about his girlfriends? His first love? His friends and weird connections? His mother? Thanks!

No need to skip the second novel because you don't like John Scott! It's not about him, it's about Olivia as a teenager at boarding school and what happened to her that made her emotionally unable to commit to an adult relationship later in life.

As for Peter, he will not be portrayed as an amoral villain, but a complex, flawed, gray-shaded character with depth and heart. (My favorite kind.)

And yes, you will get lots of background on his early life.

That's a relief, thanks! I don't understand, though... Olivia committed to several adult relationships later in life. Her relationship with Peter is just one of them! :-/

I'm happy about that description about Peter, it makes me very excited about that book :-)

I'm not talking about her relationship w/Peter or anything else that happens after Scott. I'm talking about her early adult relationships pre-2008 and her difficulty with saying the words "I love you" when we first meet her in the first season.

Trust me. I'm not allowed to go into too much detail on this thread but it will be clear exactly what I'm referring to once you read the book.

Olivias story were just some lines scattered, and as a Olivia fan I can give you the episodes.
I am mostly interested in adult Olivia before Fringe , how she ended up in the Marines, and how her life looked like then,

Olivia before the Bishop Boys more or less ruined her, Walter made adult Olivia into a victim, and Peter into his wife.
Olivia in the pilot was happy, independent and taking charge, assertive, pro-active, but that went after she returned in season 3, her role as hero was reduced to Peter and again in season 4,
writers had no idea of Olivia, she would never give up her life and being for a man, not with that abusive past.

I would love to see a series around Olivia and Charlie, Olivia being her own person.
Anna Torv, awesome Olivia creator, said in the beginning that she saw Olivia as a woman that had a lover in every port, and her scotch.
Which is logical, Olivia with her past being abused by men, is never giving up het being for a man.

The author is going to come across several unstable folks in the fandom who can only seem to focus on their own warped sense of what Fringe should be.

For instance, this one has a known hatred for Joshua Jackson and the character of Peter Bishop. I hope these crazies have no influence. Fans who loves all the characters and the show have suffered their tirades for years.

Fringe is about THREE heroes. :D

Welcome to the fandom, Ms. Faust... you will probably find most of us quite sane... hopefully not boringly so... the few (probably ONE) fan who isn't, will probably become easily recognizable to you despite the 1,000 screen names she uses. Because she always posts the same general idea.

The idea of 3 books, one for each character, is pretty thrilling!
