By Taylor Marshall, Pelayo Quesada
Based on the 1996 motion picture written by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin and produced by 20th Century Fox. All rights respected.
Prolugue:
First rule of fiction! There is no real version, that's why it's fiction.
Version 1995 is an alternate sequel that was written for the millions of fans who were disappointed to see the happy ending of the original ruined by the second wave attacks of Independence Day Resurgence. Version 1995 is the same as the original except for two main differences. First, there will never be a second attack wave, and secondly the setting will be not in the year in which it was released, but in the year in which it was filmed, 1995. Instead of the War of 96 the conflict will appropriately be called "The Two Worlds War" The reasons for the 1995 setting will be outlined in the story.
This version disregards both the movie Independence Day Resurgence as well as the book Independence Day Crucible.
Also please note that the changing of the setting is not to ensure the authors safety in the story, let me explain why. On July 2-4 in 1995 I was on a Dude Ranch in the Montana Wilderness, and on those dates in 1996 I was on a Florida barrier Island, thus 1995 or 1996 either way I am okay, but you will find out as you read that a 1995 setting actually makes way more sense. Also, technically this is not changing the setting of the original because this version disregards Resurgence and Crucible, and in the original they never tell you what year it is so that means that it still doesn't have a specified setting.
Please note this is a work in progress and we are always open to new ideas and suggestions.
