To Come Home on an Alien Land
By Jolly
Author's Foreword
This story was originally titled: In another Universe in another Time. It was meant to be an interactive storytelling experiment which clearly did not work out. In the process of trying to get it to work, I found something better – a bunch of readers whose reviews and comments had help pushed the storyline into something unplanned, unexpected, and had turned a series of haphazard chapters into a potential Epic.
To all readers; I hope that you will like the new title better than the old. It does to some extent reflect on the overall theme of this Epic. The story has been re-organized into a new format. Instead of a series of never ending chapters, there will be a collection of short stories; each with its own mini-themes and plot, and each will also be a part of the overall and much bigger storyline. For those who are anime fans, you might perhaps recognize that the format is somewhat reminiscent of various anime series. I had based it on GetBackers and a Hong Kong series I have a Date with a Vampire.
For RagnaICE, Bhar, Jimmy and Saradipity, I am most grateful for your continued support and interest. Your reviews and suggestions are most useful and very much cherished. This tale is for the four of you, without which this story would never come to be, and would never have seen the possibility of an ending. I hope the storyline will continue to fascinate and the plot will continue to intrigue.
As usual, I request my kind readers to submit a review. If you are shy, there is always the private messaging function. Most importantly, I hope you will continue to enjoy the story, and join in the adventures contained within with the Hardy brothers.
