Just looked at your profile. 6 stories in three days!? You're really on a roll. Must have been saving them for a while huh?
This is the second of your stories that I have read and I loved them both. Please keep up the brilliant work :)
It started out so well. U could have gone in so many different directions. Then you brought in time travel and it started to unravel. Next thing I know I'm reading a transformers meets the ninja turtles comic book. And not a very good one at that! I knew long before the reveal that the whole 'space adventue' sequence was a dream. Did you forget? The end of the story came and he never woke up. The beginning premise was good. Then the plot became sloppy disjointed and poorly thought out. I can only hope future offerings improve.
Why didn't you finish the first story, let a lone the 2nd story. It was getting silly but would be nice if you could have given it an ending. Jumping to them being human and had a dream is too lame. Stopped reading when you began story #3. Even the time jump into the future was silly for story #2.
2*, but would have been much more except for the big change. Your writing was pretty good, such a shame the story telling didn't match.
Good story, more sci-fi than erotica but still very well written and great ideas.
Wow. Incredible story definitely more sci-fi than sexual but right up my alley very much enjoyed it so thank you.
Well. Very Science-Fiction-y. That's not a bad thing at all. The use of stable time loops is handled very cleanly, and to the same comedic effect as in the Dr. Who Space/Time short. The writing style - it's not what I normally expect on lit, and it isn't the same as a lot of the other ones I like, but it's still good, and one I enjoy.
What really sets it off? The fact that the author managed to not explicitly show how the guy who fired off the machine closed his own loop (note in a pocket), but leave that for the reader to put together. Good show!
Five out of five, but I still have two critiques:
1. Point beats edge. Now, there is a mild subversion here in that possible non-human targets (read robots) need to be disabled, not perforated so they bleed out, but a throw away line about that might be useful? Then again, as I write this, I praise the author for not laying everything out above, so I can't really complain too much.
2. No real need for the T-1000. It makes the threat of advanced robots, even to the 21st century worse.
All in all, minor issues, in a fun romp.
Looooved it!
The House M.D. and M*A*S*H references were AWESOME!!!!!
As a biiig fan of Douglas Adams and Doctor Who, I got a big kick outta this.
10/10!!!!!
I had a lot of fun reading this story. Five well earned stars for adding great touches to a somewhat common android space time epic. Susan was a hoot. I am watching the market for the early release as progress gets here before we're ready.
What about Josh getting his left arm cut off right before the time travel? I know it got picked up and hopefully came back with them but it was never mentioned again.
