WELCOME TO THE REDUX

This is a 'timeline in three acts', which means it will be uploaded just like any other short-form timeline... but with one structural difference. Rather than simply uploading every (other) hour/day/week/etc. until the timeline ends, this will be split into three 'acts' made up of updates (or 'chapters'). This allows me to break up the narrative of the timeline into different eras or epochs, allows me to better structure my posting and writing schedule, and just generally reminds me of some serialised Victorian novel. I've already completed Act One and am currently working hard on the sprawling Act Two, but I'm allowing myself enough space between updates to complete Act Two updates well in advance.

This is a redux of a previous project of mine that, rather sadly, didn't get very far and stalled after the first three updates. I can promise that this project, as it has been a long time coming, will not suffer from the same rushed feel of the last and that all of my choices have been interrogated already (to avoid any retconning or exasperation with the constraints I put on myself in earlier chapters that would decrease my interest in writing the project).

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, THE FIRST CHAPTER OF ACT ONE...
