Dawn of Time Index

Four years ago, I wrote a novel that some of you may have read, entitled Time Out Of Time . In the following years some have been disturbed by the work, and some have been enthusiastic. Some have even requested a sequel.

Dawn of Time is not a sequel, in a strict sense, nor was it intended to be. In some ways, I think Dawn of Time is a more mature piece that investigates different themes, and provides a new perspective on fantasy and reality, and things that might or might not be. I hope that I have learned a little by some of my failures in Time Out Of Time . But you'll have to judge the effectiveness of that yourselves.

Please be warned: Dawn of Time is unlike my short stories or snapshots. It is harsher and grittier, necessarily differing from my shorter stories. As writers, sometimes it is necessary to explore ourselves in unique ways. If this kind of writing is not your cup of tea, please pass this story by. Despite its novel length, and the sweat that went into its creation, I will not be disappointed if you decline to read it. It is not my wish to offend anyone. To make one think, perhaps, and to make one consider the implications of strange situations, yes, but offend -- no.

This story does contain scenes with sexually charged content. It contains situations that are questionable in terms of consensual behaviour and eroticism that are probably only suitable for adults, and then only to a subset of those that happen to understand responsibility. Please don't assume that a scene described in a work of fiction is safe in reality. Play safe. Please. (Do I really need to hold your hand and tell you this?)

Like my short stories, Dawn of Time is not overly explicit. There is more to Eros than pumping hydraulics and instant gratification, and this novel encompasses this. For a piece of writing of 157 chapters, there is remarkably little explicit sex. If you are looking for a quick stroke piece, you should probably wander elsewhere.

Unlike many serial stories posted here, Dawn of Time is complete. It took me the better part of a year to write and self-edit it -- an exhausting but fulfilling endeavour. While I choose for sanity reasons to release it slowly, be assured that all 157 chapters are complete and will be posted. Please also note that this was not proofed by outside counsel due to its length. I wouldn't push such a task on anyone voluntarily. However, as readers: caveat emptor. I've probably missed many silly language mistakes.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to people, living or dead, is purely a coincidence. Well, for the most part anyway. Those that lived through the story are very unlikely to admit it. The universe does not accept paradox.

This is an original work, copyrighted by the author, Crimson Dragon. Please do not use it as if it were your own. Enjoy the writing, but do not archive or sell it in any manner without my written permission. I'm easy to contact if you wish to redistribute my words.

Lastly, I thoroughly enjoy hearing from people reading any of my stories. Feel free to contact me with raves, rants, encouragement or dissertation (note the lack of invitation for spam). I do try to reply to all who are kind enough to drop me a note
