#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 11: Non-book examples. My fanfic was inspired by anime (Madoka Magica) and a web comic (Homestuck). I thought it would be fun to combine the two types of time travel. Madoka Magica has time travel tied to key dates, while Homestuck is more interested in parallel universes.

#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 9: Most cynical. That's really hard for me as in my story, only two of the characters haven't had the hope beaten out of them by life. I'd vote the most cynical is Dave's brother because he actively tries to read into people to prove they don't have the best intentions.
