@ewanstone.ukI think with the Lonely Ship crew zooming around the galaxy, with so many unknown wonders left to uncover, there's enough to keep them interested in the present without pining for else-when.
But in the future? There's a reason people keep coming back in time from that nightmare!
@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.social#TheDragonblood: Felix might consider the thought of living in another world. But it's not strictly speaking a different time period; Sabrina even says they are travelling to the same time in the other world.
My mental image of future Felix does still live on Earth, though.
@andrewvargaauthor.bsky.socialMy MCs agree that the past sucks, so neither wants to live in it. However, one secondary character is willing to lose himself in the past because he doesn't want to face the destruction that my antagonist is going to unleash in the present.
@juliebihn.bsky.socialNo one really wishes to live in another time period in Titanic Voyage, though Melia may have thought the most about it. She does enjoy vintage fashion and social history.
Immigrants' Journey...? 🤐

@candacehill.bsky.social#TimeTravelAuthors D25 Living in another time.
In a new story, Arthur remembers his first wedding anniversary with Jeanette. He does not want to go into the past, but she believed that he had an important purpose in the world, that he should put aside his fears and fulfill his purpose. He does.
@rammwriter.bsky.socialD25. There are two characters who have travelled in, separately, from different years in the future and got stuck in 1972. Both of them want to get back to their original time periods so they can resume their lives there. I can't promise happy endings for either. 😉
@rammwriter.bsky.socialI don't have nation, but do have realm.

@juliebihn.bsky.socialProposed prompts for October #TimeTravelAuthors. Please let me know if you spot any errors!
@ewanstone.uk, please pay special attention that I got your question adequate! Other people's questions will be spread across coming months.
@juliebihn.bsky.socialThis is quite insightful. (Though I don‘t put forth even 1/10 the effort @khonri.com does, and after reading this, I don’t plan to!)
One thing I forgot about is how magical #TimeTravelAuthors was when we first started on Twitter. It spawned three anthologies (thanks to @joshuadbellin.bsky.social)…
@rammwriter.bsky.socialNo meddling, but I have interference.

@ewanstone.ukIntroducing specops soldier Amari...
The sun-kissed girl with her impressive head of chestnut hair, tied loosely into a side-hanging tail, took orders readily enough in the sharp version of Core they shared. But she did so with the air of a rebellious teen pushing back at Daddy.
@miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.socialAs I #stand there, frozen in fear, the dragon shrinks into a feminine figure, almost instantaneously. It had taken Aimetor minutes. The magical hum is so loud in that instant that I instinctively plug my ears, but I'm too slow.
@rammwriter.bsky.socialNo tumble, but I have fall.

@kavyajanani.bsky.socialDay 23 of #TimeTravelAuthors
She looked at the time on her digital watch – 11:10 AM. She typed the same time and waited for something to happen. Another screen popped up, asking her to stand still and look into the tiny camera fixed on top of the panel.

"I reckon coffee or soda wouldn't calm you, or they may have some herbal tea." He started to stand.
"Don't," I whispered. Please. I…" I couldn't say it, but I wanted him near.
@candacehill.bsky.social#TimeTravelAuthors D23
She turned to stand in front of the window, flowers behind her, in pretty bare feet, and waited for him. He stood up straight, and said for the first time in his adult life. “I want to tell you how I feel. I didn’t know it would be this complicated to tell you how I feel.”
