Whatever became of Steven?

[ceebee_eebee]

Two posts in one day? UNHEARD OF!

But I'm listening to the Companion Chronicle The Suffering with Steven and Vicki and I got to thinking. Whatever happened to Steven Taylor? Was his post-TARDIS fate ever dealt with in any novels or short stories? I always liked him and his life pre-TARDIS was so damn tragic. I'm hoping maybe some writer decided to give him a happily ever after.

Wiki is being no help so I thought I'd ask here. So, flisties. Any novel fans have any insight?

Also? Good CC so far. Steven and Vicki are just adorable.

I am as unhelpful as wiki on that subject, but Steven and Vicki are adorable. I gotta say, Steven on his own has this machismo that irks, but he's decent, and it helps that Vicki is there to pwn him incessantly. How I flailfully adore her. ...I think I just made up a word on her account. What're they doing/saying in the audio?

Sadly, it seems like there's nothing about Steven post-Savages - his other CC, Mother Russia, is hard to pinpoint chronologically, and as far as I know there's no novels regarding his fate.

Personally, even though I feel there's not enough of Dodo, I wish the powers that be had managed to release Jackie Lane from her contract two episodes earlier, so that she would stay in the planet of the Elders and Savages with Steven. Not only it would have released her from her ignominious departure in The War Machines, but it would have made it a happy ending for the two of them.

I took you off my reading list because you didn't post much and when it was it wasn't about anything I was interested in, so then you go and post something I am interested in! :)

I did love The Suffering, it was great. Although hard not to laugh while I was listening at work and Steven was dressing up a skeleton on the bus.

I know Peter Purves has said on a couple of audios that he likes the idea of Steven becoming a despot. I like the idea that he introduces democracy to them and then gets voted out as leader.
