I love stories about time travel. I wish I could write fiction like this but alas! Nicely done!

Thanks for the lovely compliment!

This is awesome. ...I have the feeling someone's curiosity is going to get the best of them.

Thanks! The interesting thing is that all Lyra has to do is wait a few years to get the message. But I don't think it's going to be that simple.

This is a really interesting world; I'm intrigued by the suggestion of differing cultures over the years. And I wonder if she's going to go and see....

[lilycobalt]

Thank you! My general sense is that humanity has also made it to multiple planets by this point, so that further differentiates the cultures. All she has to do is wait a few years to find out...but will she be able to wait?

This was a really intriguing story -- definitely got a engaging mystery here. :) I wonder what Lyra is going to do next.

Thanks! I still need to work that out, but in the meantime, I want to write about her even if it doesn't advance the plot.

I sense an adventure coming on--quests through time are fun!

[lilycobalt]

I agree! I love reading about them, so I had to write one.
