"I believe in the power of Imagination
to rebuild the world,
to free the truth,
to delay the night..."

Paradise Falling...

Paradise Falling...
Apocalypse Watcher started a topic on the Cybersix Arts and Lits Board on which alternative universes would "work" for Cybersix.  That is, how would the world of Meridiana and Cybersix be changed if something different had happened in history? I was inspired to write about one such alternative universe.  This story is the result.

While writing this series, I decided to create an alternate branch in this alternate reality (I'm a programmer.  Recursion is in my blood.).  I have labelled the two branches the "light" branch and the "dark" branch.

Epilog

The Dark Branch has been completed.  I want to thank all my readers at the Cybersix and Cyberstation message boards and at FanFiction.net who have borne with my lengthly tale while I was creating it, and were kind enough to comment on it.

The muse has finally awarded me with the ideas necessary to continue the Light Branch, which I have already started.  As always, I'd like to know your opinion, as well as the comments of any new fans of Cybersix who have stopped by here.  Your comments to me via E-mail, reviews submitted at fanfiction.net, or via the Cybersix Message Board will be welcomed and appreciated.

Credits for "Paradise Falling..."
I found it impossible to write the story without including some of the characters created by the fans of Cybersix.  At the time I wrote this (12/2000 to 1/2002), the following characters either already had stories written about them, or were explained well enough by their author so that I could write them into the story with their approval.  They are used by permission of the authors.  I thank them for their creativity, and for the trust they put in me to treat the children of their imaginations with as much respect as I would my own sons.

Updated Apr. 05, 2002

The preface is located in chapter 1.  It's a fork off the "Paradise Falling..." AR, but at a much earlier time.  Thus, this describes a story where the events of "Paradise Falling..." will never take place.

Because decisions matter.

Author's Apology for all His Fan Fictions

My apologies in advance for being so wordy.  It is the only way I know to accomplish my goal of keeping Cybersix and her world alive so that my boys can enjoy them in the same way that I have when they are mature enough to look past the minor exterior details to see and appreciate the heart and soul of a person or artistic work.

When that day comes, I will know that I will have succeeded as a father and as a citizen.
