    Threadmarks: Great Detective 1 - 2.5

    SECOND YEAR - Part 1 Facts do not exist, there are only interpretations. Facts do not exist, there are only interpretations. Friederich Nietzsche said that, and while we’ve got our differences he was on to something there, if you ask me. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Well, about a year...

    Fair enough. Not applicable here, since this jump takes place in a non definitive '40's world, but a clever work around.

    Threadmarks: Great Detective 1 - 1

    CHAPTER 1 - Jump 1 (GREAT DETECTIVE) ‘We cannot choose what we are - yet what are we, but the sum of our choices?’ There are times in a guy's life when he finds himself floating facedown in a sea of troubles, and as hope bubbles away he thinks, How the hell did I get here? But hindsight...

    Nope. They are selected for him. From a Doyleist perspective, they are selected by me for the sake of the narrative, from a Watsonist perspective by his subconscious which selects the tools he needs for the jump ahead (and which doesn't see a tendency towards depression as something to shore up...

    Well, let me assure you, this is forty six jumps in, and over the course of that he's had considerably more that 460 years of experience (not so much wisdom), and that's what got him into this mess - his experiences have turned him into a shell of a human being unable to relate to his own...

    Well, those are all very good questions. Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate it. There isn't a main character as such, though the Jumper is the POV character, Jack Mitchell. That's not his real name, like everything else about him it's been replaced as the...

    Threadmarks: Prologue

    So, decided to give this a try. This isn't my first time writing, but it is my first attempt at writing a Jumpchain story, so we'll see how it works out. This is a jumpchain, though with a few of the core premisses altered or shifted around. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in...
