"Season 8 Redo" Songs and Synopsis

I've had so many requests to do this and finally here it is.  This is a brief summary of all the episodes in Season 8 Redo as well as links to the songs so you can listen while you read if you'd like.  The story itself is still on FF.  Maybe one of these days I'll put it here as well :)  Be aware these summaries will contain spoilers for the epis.  Also, in the song links provided I try to find the version of the songs from the 70s, but that's not always possible.

Here's the first epi of "Season 8 Redo"  so you don't have to go searching through FF  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2960445/1/Season_8_Redo

I'll use the epi numbers I use in the story

I just finished reading Season 8 Redo and I turned to your author profile to discover you had also written Contact - which has now unfotunately been knocked off it's first place stand for Season 8 Redo.
You are my favourite fanfic author ever!

I just came on here to say that I really LOVE Contact and Redo! I honestly can't believe you weren't an actual writer for the show because you have such a great handle on the characters! And your version of season 8 has much better continuity than the piece of crap that actually aired! Will either story be continued? They're both amazing!

Update Soon?

Are you still planning on finishing "Season 8 Redo"? It's my favorite out of all the "That 70's Show" fanfics I've read. I agree, Season 8 was a disaster, so much so that after I found out what happened I haven't watched the show since. You should seriously think about writing for television.

Again, hope you finish the story, even after so long!
