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

This was a satisfying ending (had to check if nothing would come the week after to make sure it had eally ended). Also enough open points let for a sequel. 'Çops start lucrative tech business' or something like it.

Thanks for writing this, I really enjoyed reading it.

I like the sequel idea. And yes, this was a great story, with good detail.

Thanks a lot! I'm really happy to hear you liked it.

Yes, I may write a sequel to this story, there are still many things I didn't tell. But this autumn I have different plans - which I am already working on.

All in all I must say this story took some unexpected turns. For instance I thought that FluxTec would have taken over Eldorado and made it their secret tech lab. It never came to that. I also thought Elanor and Harry would travel to KAtastropolis themselves but instead they had to send Tanja because their investigations just took far too long. Everything took more time than expected. I also wanted to visit Mr Pospishil at home and I didn't really plan the meeting with the duchess of Juno - although I have invented the character quite a while ago.

At some point I thought Eldorado would be a long abandoned amusement park (Post apocalypse). A bit like the San Francisco imagery seem in Netflix take on the Shannara Chronicles.

I recognise the unexpected turns, when seemingly random minor details become major details as you write in order to stay consistent with what has already been posted.

Ah, I didn't have the amusementpark idea.

Yes, exactly like that.

Another major problem was that I had already written 90% of the diary in advance so the diary story came to an end but the detectives were still not done with their investigations.
Also, I think diaries are probably not for me. I won't do them again in the forseeable future.

I liked the diary.

Oh, thank you!

I had a general idea where I wanted to be around chapter 15. After that it went everywhere fancy took me. The final wrap up chapter is being written as we speak. It might get a bit longer than what went before to wrap up all the things that need wrapping up. (three weeks holiday also gave some vague new insights into where I want it to end)

Sounds good!

I was a quite afraid that I wouldn't manage to make everything add up in the end. I mean, I couldn't finish this withou presenting a believing solution to the crime.

When in doubt, Surrealism is your friend...

I agree - very satisfying ending, and the diary was cleverly done Well done for tying up the loose ends and yet still leaving the ending intriguing

Thanks a lot! And thanks for reading the whole thing!

My pleasure - a great story
