Ancient Web: Voyager Live Action Kept Emergency! Fanfiction in Virtual Seasons

Part of the Ancient Web Collection.

At Voyager Live Action, fans of the 1970s television series Emergency! did not stop when the show's broadcast seasons ended. They wrote more episodes, designed their own title graphics, and arranged the results as a new television schedule.

Visit the Voyager Live Action homepage.

The sparse gateway asks readers to choose a television destination using image links. It also retains an Emergency-themed webring, an old Yahoo Groups signup, a guest counter, and a background-sound tag from the browser era when pages could try to play music automatically.

The substantial collection is Emergency Theater Live. The page announces 51 readable episodes and additional feature-length stories, with image banners showing when individual stories were produced. Some entries go back to February 2001, and many were added between 2002 and 2006.

Writing a television season in HTML

The writers continue following firefighters and paramedics from Station 51 and Rampart Hospital. Descriptions promise mudslides, forest fires, hospital crises, family trouble, and crossovers with other fictional emergency-service settings. Most banners are clickable images rather than text headlines.

The homepage offers theme music, series character roles, screensavers, desktop wallpapers, cursor sets, before-and-after photographs, and an Emergency-inspired online radio project. A virtual paramedic scenario appears beside links to rescue-history resources.

Its design makes the creative process visible. Stories are labeled with production months, and a note says a new special was still under construction in October 2020. The site is not simply a frozen 2003 copy, but a project that accumulated story after story while keeping its original web furniture.

The writers make clear that the original television series and characters belong to their rights holders; the fan stories are unofficial. The episodes are creative interpretations, not factual records of real firefighting incidents or medical procedures.

The web-history story lies in the production model. Fans made title sequences, circulated music files, coordinated through mailing groups, and published new seasons without an official streaming platform.
