Sliding Into Antar
Roswell is the creation of Melinda Metz, who wrote the books, and Jason Katims, who brought us the TV series. They deserve the credit for the show concept and pre-existing characters, and for any events that occurred during the TV series that might be mentioned here.
Sliders is the creation of Tracy Torme and Robert K. Weiss and is in no way my invention either. Its characters just happened to cross the others' paths in this story. You'll see what I mean. Anything else here, for better or worse, including storyline and additional characters, is my own vision and creation. To Melinda, Jason, Tracy, and Robert, a huge thanks for giving us two of the best shows that ever came to television.
Sliding Into Antar is a Roswell fic, but, as the name implies, it also involves the show Sliders in some way and to some extent, beginning with the premise. The exact amount of crossover is yet to be determined at this time.
Some background is desirable for understanding this story, so here's the 411…
Max and Michael escaped to Antar years before when Kivar destroyed the earth while trying to kill them. Liz and Maria, as well as almost everyone else, died in the end of the world. Max and Michael changed that by going back in time six years later and saving them and the earth. After that, they all lived on Antar together, had children, and had lots of adventures, which are detailed in the other books of the Altered Time series. One of those adventures took them into an alternate dimension to save Liz's younger double there after she came to them in a vision asking for help. But when they got ready to leave that dimension and return home, things went awry… big time! So that's it. That's the background. That's all you get… for now. But read on!
Sliding Into Antar is part of the Altered Time series. Chronologically, it takes place right after The Night The Dreams Died and right before Chapter 67 (Out Of A Nightmare) of The Four Faces Of Rath. It is certainly possible to enjoy this story even if you have never read any of the other stories of this series. But… then you may want to know what came before it and after it.
Happy reading!
