h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So has anyone got a favourite character yet?

Well, quite obviously, it has to be Terry. But are you sure you've got the spelling right?


Terri.

Incidentally, Terry is my favourite character as well.

And yes, I'm fairly sure I've got the spelling right

Actually, if I can just bore you for a moment, I was walking through a book shop the other day and I saw there was a popular childrens author called Anthony *Horowitz*! I was quite shocked, because I gotten the name Horowitz out of thin air, and didn't think it would be a very popular name. I actually gave him his first name, Terry, after my driving instructor (well he did help me to pass my test ).

Anyhoo... thats a day in my life ...

Hi Verc, as promised I finished reading the series and it's great. My favorrite character is probably the old man in the train station, albeit a small character.

And I wouldn't be offended if a character named Jodan were to spring up...

Well most of the character's names have already been set for this story. But I'll keep you in mind for the sequel . And yes I do plan to make a sequel, its not just something to say.

And yes, I thought the tramp was an interesting character to write. I think people like that have usually got a lot of history and depth. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Verc

I was kidding about my name being mentioned... But I'll try to work in your name in the WWC

I have plenty of time fer reading. I can't wait for the next edition, 'cos it's awfully confusing right now...

I can how it can be confusing. I forget that I know whats going to happen . I think the next part kind of explains a bit more why the story is called "the 168th greatest story in the universe". So perhaps things will begin to become a bit clearer.

Do you think I leave too many questions unanswered up to this point in the story? Or do you think it enhances the suspense?

I have a theory as to it's title, I'm curious as to whether or not it will be confirmed

I like the unanswered questions. It definitely adds to the suspense and is occasionally very funny. It reminds me of some of DNA's works

I hope I don't disappoint you .

You're not the first person to tell me that. I'm honoured even to mentioned in the same breath as him to be honest, but I haven't decided if its a good thing or a bad thing to be compared to him. I don't think I'm any where near as good as him to be honest, but I do try

Your style is very similar. Almost derivative...

What are you incinuating ()

Add a '?' to that statement and it might be a question

I'm not insinuating anything... *cough*liar*cough*?

Go on, what do you thinks been lifted. I can take it

The character of Terry. Strangely familiar to Slartibartfast

Thought I'd say Arthur didn't you

Actually Terry, in personality terms (I've never walked through my bathroom door, and I'm about 14 years younger than him), is not unlike myself. So what you're trying to say is that I go around wearing white gowns and have a long grey beard, is that it?

And yes I did think, you'd say Arthur.

No, just that he has a long strange name, not unlike yourself

Ah, yes but thats not my real name... my real name is St... oops almost, but not quite.

Anyway, I think I've gone slightly off topic. Thanks for reading the story. You may see a couple of new original ones in AWW/UG in the near future, so keep an eye out

St- what?
Steven? Star? Stallion?

I'm guessing Steve

will keep an eye out...
