Purpura Lipstick:
Thanks Rose! I'm sure I've expressed several hundreds of times how much I love this story and I'm happy to share it. :)
FrickingKaos:
Congratulation s on being a featured author, Lore :) you know I am loving this story. What made you decide to make Nick a "bad guy" and how did you come up with the concept of The Library because I thought that was interesting.
Purpura Lipstick:
Thanks Tracy, I am glad you are enjoying.
First I love that you used quotes around "bad guy" :-D there is only one aspect of him that is really a making him a true jerk! In my original idea for the story it was going to be two time travelers, one "good" one "bad" but it was based on perspective. Nick was always the one wanting to set history right, to right the wrongs. Since the story was always from the POV of the "good" traveler it sheds a light on Nick as the "bad guy". If I wrote it from the POV of one of the volunteers that works with Nick, Julie and Kevinw would probably appear to be the bad guys.
If that was more then what you wanted, lol. Sorry. I chose Nick because I like him as a bad boy? LOL.
The idea of The Library came about because I needed one constant unchanging thing. Something that would have a record of how history was prior to anyone rescuing, before anyone went back and changed anything. With all of the jumping the question comes up of how do you know that, for instance, that someone changed the outcome of the Revolutionary War? There needed to be something that would hold a record of history prior. One thing about The Library that isn't explained (currently) is how, if the books inside are unchanged, how do they find books and information on how it's been changed.
Also, another as of yet unexplained thing, is how the Librarian is connected to The Library.
Answers will eventually come for those.

I think I need another stab at answering this question better.
I watch a lot of sci-fi and read a lot of fantasy so I think my brain just automatically tries to find some fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural or just plain weird aspect to add to each of my stories. I do have a few stories that do not have something "weird" or not "weird" enough and my muse seems to struggle to continue the storyline.

I have a question and you can answer it WITHOUT explanation YET. ;) Because explaining why might give something away that we shouldn't read yet,
If you are a volunteer whose team would you be? Nick's or Kevin's? ;D
