Background
The College Stories or the 'Revamped Saga' were my attempt to run through all the stories again and revise them with better details, plot, grammar and whatnot. I started these in college but due to other worldly duties got bored and never finished the series. I also started to migrate my real-life friends away from these stories and used a generic character of Mike Quartz as the key love interest.
- Reality was the story I wrote my second year of college to find a way to shoehorn my new college friends into the saga.
- The rewrites made it up to Robot Trek II around 2000 and then just stopped due to life and such.
- Many many years later (2013) on a plane trip to California I started to write the Rebooted story. This was a story that took place many years after the initial stories (as it was many years since I was revisited this.)
- In 2020 during the CoronaVirus Pandemic I started to finish rewriting these stories, filling in the gap between Robot Trek II and Rebooted.
- In 2021, I finished rewriting the stories between Robot Trek II and Rebooted and completed the initial Rewrite of the saga. As such now it was time to go back to the original rewrites and provide them some upgrades as well. This starts with the Zapbots the Beginning.
- As I am sure this can be confusing, check out the Story Comparison page for a table. This provide examples of the Classic and Revised Sagas as well as info when they took place, when I wrote then, revised them etc...
For help with story formatting check out Story Text Formatting.
