Write Back to the Future: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

So, your friend couldn't get through the [[Time Machine|one-way time portal]] before it closed, and as you're standing there wondering what to do, this guy from the Post Office comes up and says that he's got this letter, posted 80 years ago, and addressed to you. Turns out your friend spent ten years building a machine to stop the [[Big Bad]], and he sealed it away right beneath where you're standing now. As you read it, you can't help but marvel that the message actually made it through the postal service.

Write Back To The Future is when a time-traveler stuck in the past sends a message along [[The Slow Path]] to their compatriots in the future. It may be a way to get them back; it may be the solution to the problem they're looking for; it may just be an assurance that they had a full and rewarding life in whatever century they got stuck in.

Usually, the message shows up right after the relevant time-travel. In especially clever instances, it may appear ''before'' said travel.
