I totally forget to respond to this, and I'm just gonna pretend it hasn't been a month! Sorry about that. Anyway, in response to your response to me, all very valid reasons and points, and I like the idea of seeing some spinoffs! If you don't mind, I think I might headcanon they reached the Pluto monolith together - while this version is plenty sweet, there's something about that ending that just makes me happy. You have a very good point about the changes in writing being able to be explained as Ethan being the author, which is technically an explanation that works for my own Magnus Opus of a work that I've never finished yet written over 600k words in. In fact, I published another chapter of it today, partially because I figured that if you finished Voyage, I could finish my work. :) As for your life, I feel that - good luck with Chapter 2! I like airships, I'd definitely read a book about airships written by you - and that's also a very good story idea, Meros was such a heartbreaking story. Yeah, I remember those days fondly myself... good job on reaching the club. Here's hoping I will be too, relatively soon!

Wow... hard to believe that this story, which has been with me since I was twelve, has finally come to a conclusion... knowing that it was unfinished and what was going to happen next has been a part of me for so long now that it's amazing to think that's it's over... something's finally changed, there won't be more of it... it's hard to believe. And the ending was beautiful and gorgeous and everything I could've hoped. Thinking about it, it makes sense that (end spoilers) I suppose my one request would that it'd be nice if you could post this somewhere where it'd be a little easier to read, like fanfiction net or similar (or give us a PDF), since right now there's a lot of scrolling to deal with, and the forum doesn't remember your place in long text posts. I totally understand if you don't wanna go through all that work though... you've already given us a lot in one of the most important things someone can give, a story. So thank you for finishing that, over these six years, it's a wonderful thing you've done for us!

Beautiful chapter! Also:

Well, that's... unfortunate. But now we have a new thingy-ma-jigy, and a set of coordinates! We can still save the universe, with the power of love and friendship, and anticotan crystals! (Hopefully)

Ah, I see. Understandable. Wait, what we were we talking about? I don't remember any diquantum whatcha-ma-callits, not even a triquantum thing-a-ma-bob. Oooh, exciting news. I can't wait to see how this epic saga ends! Will do, although I don't remember it being stated, which led to me in this chapter going "oh, Evelina has a last name now, cool!", lol. It is certainly a cool name, and it helps remind me that she's actually Sweedish and I should give her an accent in my head.

How dare you post a chapter whilst I was in the middle of my reread?! Anyway, this was brilliant as usual... here's hoping this isn't actually the end, at all. Man, I hadn't gotten to the end of my reread yet, and I need to now to remember exactly what as going to happen to Star-Evelina/Ethan... I hope they didn't actually die, that would be very sad. But I'm still kind of betting on that diquantum thingma-whatchamacallit scanner coming in play, as this is the climax (presumably), but we'll see. Also, am I unobservant, or is this the first chapter were Evelina's last name has been stated? Anyway, looking forward to 32! PS. Since I didn't say it last time, I totally get the lack of motivation, there was a project I was working on that I dropped off of working on for a year, but partially thanks to this, I've started working on it again.

I think this is the best description of the World's First Society I have ever seen, good job! Looking forward to moar.

Awesome interlude @Ultimate Steve! I appreciate the meta jab “this sounds like a comic book a middle schooler would write”. Also, with all these... coincidences, I have two theories about Galactus (besides that he’s a character from an old comic that got ported over here, of course). A, he’s actually sent by the Species, but doesn’t know it. Why, that’s hard to say, but perhaps even just to get Ethan and Evelina there and distract them through the flight, or B, he’s actually from another galaxy or something, which would explain why the Union hasn’t found out anything about him. Anyway, great interlude and I look forward to the next chapter!

That was wonderful! I can't wait for more! Thanks for continuing to update @Ultimate Steve!

Awesome job! I’m doing my own play through of the challenge and look forward to seeing more!

This looks cool, I might try it! Just one question, @Lewie, do the challenges close after one week or do they stay open?

Hello to anyone who reads this thread! Just a quick notice, I no longer feel able to maintain this thread properly, so if any active user wants to step in to take it over, send me a PM and we can discuss it. I really haven't been very active on here for a bit and am not on very much, so I feel that this thread would be better treated in someone else's care. --Kerbalstar

Looking interesting! Keep going @Chequers!

Looks very exciting @nepphhh!

I'd be interested in this, @greenTurtle1134!

I'm happy with a group PM, sounds like a plan.

Very nice @Pawelk198604!

Voice audition? I don’t know, any male character, I guess. Whoever our fearless director thinks I would work best as. I agree about @Ultimate Steve being director though!

@LittleBitMore, @The Minmus Derp, personally, I think we should wait, like @Ultimate Steve wants, but... once it’s done (which I guess this serves as more motivation to), I will be happy to be a voice actor for the movie. I can’t do anything else, but I don’t have a half bad voice. Anyway, let’s wait until this gets finished and @Ultimate Steve tells us what he wants to revise. Movies always go better when the author works with the creators though. Ie, Harry Potter Vs. Percy Jackson movies.

Great little story @Capitalist Kerbal! I look forward to the return home!

Very nice @Ultimate Steve! Lots of harpoons!

Once again I was two chapters behind! Keep up the great work @Ultimate Steve!

That’s a good looking corsage @Ultimate Steve! Glad you had fun!

I now realize that I was two chapters behind on this wonderful epic! Anyway, I'll give some of my key thoughts as I read the last chapter... Clearly the most unbelievable part of the story. Hospital clothing that one actually would want to wear? This is my new favorite exclamation. Well, the other comments gave me a feeling of what might happen, but still... Cheng... Take a virtual like from me @Ultimate Steve! Dun dun dun... As far as the Photoshop request, that person would not be me, but hopefully, you'll find someone! Also, I hope your Homecoming went/will go well! Maybe one day someone will ask me to one... I look forward to more of this great story in the future!

Really? You mean that when I get older, no aliens will abduct me and I’ll meet the girl I love on a sub-orbital untested plane? This is craziness! In all seriousness though, I understand how hard it is. Best of luck! You have a life? This is crazy! I look forward to more, but take your time. RL is hard.
