A virtual season is a fan-driven continuation of a television program. While they are typically written for cancelled programs, they sometimes run concurrently with programs that are still airing original episodes. Virtual seasons can be written by a single author, by several collaborating authors in a fandom or even reproduced episodically in a single video or series of videos. * One of the first virtual seasons was for the TV series ''Forever Knight'', which was cancelled in 1996 and followed by a virtual fourth season (('V4S' )). * ''Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'', which was cancelled in 1997, spawned several virtual seasons, continuing the trend. The Unaired Fifth Season (('TUFS' )) and Season 5 (('S5' )) each "aired" on Sunday nights during the 1997/98 television season, while ('Season 6' ) followed during the 1998/99 season. * ''Millennium'' was cancelled in 1999, six months short of its millennial climax, so a (''Virtual Season 4'' ) completed the storyline for fans. In 2005 (''Virtual Season 5'' ) aired, produced by a different creative team, but using the Virtual Season 4 as canon. A (''Virtual Season 6'' ), by another creative team, is currently in production. * ''JAG'' spawned a (''Virtual Season'' ) which was designed to give the fans something to do and read during the summer hiatus. It ran from 2000-2005. * (''Voyager Virtual Season Project'' ) ran for 2 years, starting in 2001 and ending in 2003, extending ''Star Trek Voyager'' * (''Still Flying'' ) was a Firefly continuation which began airing in 2005, continuing the story from where the first season left off. * Some fans go so far as to produce fan films like (''Star Trek, New Voyages'' ). * There are also websites that collate many different Virtual Seasons into one place, a "Virtual Network", such as (''MZPtv'' ), (''The Black Zero Network'' ), (''Werewolf Studios (French)'' ), (''The VPN'' ), and (''Compass'' ). * The television series Supernatural has spawned six thriving Virtual Series: The Supernatural Virtual Seasons (2006–present), which is currently in its fourth season; Multus Tempestas (2006–present), which is also currently in its fourth season; Sam the Series (2008–present), which is preparing to wrap up its first season; Diversus Semita (2009–present), which currently resides in the hiatus between its first and second seasons; Carry On (Jan. 18, 2010–present); and Redemption Road (2011–present). * The television show ''X-Files'' has a currently active Virtual Season: '(''Virtual Season X'' ) currently in its 18th season. The Virtual Season starts directly after the canon 7th Season X-files episode and does not observe the canon 8th or 9th seasons. It also has its own Mythology and features several Blockbuster episodes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virtual season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
