Title: Experiment Brady
Genres: Romance / Supernatural / Conspiracy
Plot: The Bradys have won a free vacation to a resort on a private island for the entire summer. They are unaware of the fact that they are actually part of a scientific government research study regarding consentual incestuous behavior in combined families. There will be a supernatural influence involved in affecting the results of the experiment.
I do not own the Brady Bunch and I'm not earning any money for this fic. Everyone knows that. I'm just borrowing them for the purpose of this story. I did not invent the concept of Bradycest either. There are a lot of people out there in the world who saw the potential for Bradycest long before I was born. In fact, there are stepsiblings out there who are attracted to each other. Some even have the courage to form a consensual sexual relationship. This does not occur on an average basis, but it does occur.
The Brady Bunch is well-known for having inconsistencies. They were always hanging by a thread during the original filming years, so I can't blame them. I've taken the liberty of playing around with everyone's ages, but stuck to the age hierarchy that remained on the show. I've also made changes to the character's appearances, because the story takes place roughly two years after the series ended. I'll go over any important changes throughout the duration of the story.
The concept of Alice being a government agent may have been thought up by someone else before. If it has, the credit goes to them. If not, Sergeant Emma inspired me. The supernatural beings are my creation but influenced by the 3-part Hawaiian episode, the episode where the kids try to scare off prospective house buyers, and any episode where the kids try to frighten each other.
Anyone involved in running the experiment are my original characters, except for Alice of course. The story premise is also my idea. The island and resort were created in my head. The entire plot line and the entire story was written by me. Therefore, it is my intellectual property according to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. I've researched that treaty thoroughly and I know what I'm talking about. The Internet has already started it's mention in this convention.
I've made certain revisions to Agent Alice which will reflect in future chapters. I've managed to access the actual written laws regarding family and adoption for the state of California. Apparently, the section under step-parent adoption states that the step-parent has to file a petition to adopt the child. This petition has to be filed within the county of residence, signed by both the adoptive step-parent and the biological parent, with a government-approved official to witness it, then approved by the county court. Once the petition has been processed and approved, the child's last name may end up being legally changed (step-father). This law was supposedly created before The Brady Bunch began to air. I shall hold this law in regard throughout the rest of this story.
