Robin,
Yeah, I know what you mean. I tried to work with what the show gave me too but there came a point when I wanted to flesh out Corky's past and didn't have the bible at the time either. so, since everything else was so vague, I just decided to 'run with it' and make it up as I go along.
BTW: Back at the time of the show, a group of TGM fans were pretty active in writing fanfic for the show. A good deal of it came out in "Cutter's Goose" "#1 and #2". There is also additional fanfic by independent people out there.
My novel was submitted to a fanzine editor not too long ago but she's been too busy to read it so far. She's accepted my Lost In Space stories (classic series) so wanted to see the TGM novel. There is a slight possibility that she will accept it and publish it as a solo zine. She tells me there are QUITE A FEW TGM fans out there willing to buy up anything about the show. The story has Jake, Corky, Sarah and Louie in it and gives each character a fair amount of 'time' (though because I'm a Corky fan, he gets more 'time' than the others...but heck, that's my perogative for being the author right? Heh heh!
Let me know when it's finished! I wouldn't mind seeing it myself, web fanfic page or not.
