Calvin and Hobbes in Azeroth

by Blu Taiger

Three children & a tiger stumble into a portal that deposits them in the world of Azeroth. Now, trapped in a world torn by war, they'll have to learn new skills & take up arms if they're to survive. Join Calvin, Hobbes, Susie & Moe as they quest their way through Azeroth in search of a way home.

7. A Question to the Readers

No, it's not a new chapter; sorry to get your hopes up. It is, however, a very important question that needs an answer.

You've probably seen crossovers of this nature before; where the protagonists (often canonically young characters) are flung through a wormhole, or some such, finding themselves in a completely different world and start interacting with this new world almost immediately.

This always struck me as a bit unnatural.

So you see, my intention for this story was for Calvin and his friends to spend about fifteen years in Azeroth - getting accustomed to the world they now inhabit, and the ins and outs of their selected classes - before setting out to go a-questing.

Now, here's the thing.

I recently found the timeline of Azeroth. And if I did this now, at the point they are in the story, it would place them during events of Azeroth that, um… haven't happened yet.

So the way things stand, I could continue with this story the way I originally intended and sweep the temporal discrepancy under the rug. (but I just know that'll bother me to no end!) Or I could scrap the whole thing and start over.

So, what say you, readers? Should I press onward, leaving a glaring flaw in the narrative, or should I forge anew with a fresh take on the idea?

And if it does come to starting over, there was another idea I had.

What would you guys think if I made Hobbes a saberon? Think about it, this would give him an actual role to play, rather than just being a secondary "pet" to Calvin.

So think it over and let me know your thoughts and opinions. I look forward to hearing from you.
