(See this page for some background information on The Michael Collins' Anthology.)

In June, while on vacation, I had an opportunity to re-read some of my earlier stories that I had posted some years back, and quickly came to the conclusion (in my eyes) that they were utter and complete pieces of garbage. Now, I've heard from some of you, and based on your comments that certainly isn't the case in everyone's eyes; but it certainly is in mine.

Therefore, I've taken it upon myself to actually re-write most of these stories, which is going to be painstaking; and for The Michael Collins' Anthology, this also involves some minor character changes, too.

You see, the original version started out as a short-story, then turned into an amalgamation of fan-fiction from a variety of different sources, but most specifically the book Not Quite Human (where a lot of the characters come from), and The New Outer Limits.

But, the more I wrote, the more the characters evolved, and a universe of their own was created. Therefore, I've decided to actually change the names of two of the principal (though not primary) characters.

With this re-write, Chip & Becky are no more, having been replaced by David & Sarah; and with this comes the requirement to actually re-write an entire chapter. "Honey Dew," was actually written by a fellow ASFR author, "DB_Story." His original chapter will remain with the original version of this story, but I'll have to re-write it completely for this version.

It is my intent that this version will offer you a more indepth look into the characters, with greater imagery, and more detailed character depth. It's not as graphic as the original version, but I hope this will also help your imagination create your own characters. In addition, the plot-line has been cleaned up a bit, with certain elements deleted which were overall distracting.

Please let me know your feedback above. Am I going in the write [sic] direction?
