looking for the universe

Beginning in 1985 or so I began writing a huge series of collaborative "stories" with a friend of mine. Juvenilia and not very good, so sometime around 1988 (at the more mature and refined age of 16! ahem) I took the good ideas from it and turned it into a 1000 page novel. I haven't looked at it since, for reasons more to do with software than anything else. I've rescued it, though, and am now posting it on the web for your perusal and possible enjoyment. It is being reposted without (much) editorial interference from my now 34 year old self.
The name of the novel was "Looking for the Universe" and, like all good science-fiction parodies, was meant to be a trilogy. However tallying up each section now I think it would be a trilogy of very slim volumes. There are about 200 episodes or chapters here, I will post them, incrementaly, over the next year. I don't remember what happens at the end, indeed, I'm not positive I finished it; glancing at it, it looks done. We'll see. And we'll see if I hold true to my non-interference pact with myself. So this is my journey as much as yours.
