Assuming you approve my prompt, since I have another story due the end of August, may I have September 15?

My idea takes off from an unfinished Mills and Boon series, Time Raiders. Originally, the series was supposed to be 12 books. After book four it turned into a series of e-published short stories, around 50 pages apiece, and was abandoned altogether by the publisher at book 8.

Fifty thousand years ago, after discovering that human females carried a nascent genetic potential that might one day develop into the ability to star navigate, The Pleiadian Council planted a dozen pieces of a bronze disk across the Earth, hidden in darkness until mankind advances enough to travel through time and find them.

And then, out of the ashes of the mystery-shrouded Roswell Alien crash in 1947 arose a secret research project called Anasazi. Its improbable goal: learn to use the recovered alien technology for the purposes of time travel. General Beverly Ashton was the last to command this project before a dozen time travelers were inexplicably lost and the project disbanded.

However, the recent discovery of an ancient journal, known as the Ad Astra, has given Professor Athena Carswell the information she needs to begin sending modern time travelers back through human history in search of the twelve pieces of the Pleiadian medallion which, when fully reassembled, will send a signal to the Council indicating mankind is ready to be introduced to the rest of the galactic community.

Project Anasazi has secretly been reactivated, and General Ashton, now retired, and Professor Carswell are continuing the project’s work. They are carefully recruiting and training a team of military men and women to make the dangerous time jumps.

But threats loom on the horizon, both from humans who would see the project ended, or worse, steal its work and use it for nefarious ends, and from the Centauri Federation, which will do anything to stop humans from learning how to navigate the stars.


Is this not the crackiest romance premise ever? Time travel! Two competing alien alliances! Alien artifacts hidden by one of them in the depths of history! ROSWELL! ROSWELL! Here is my idea: I want to finish the series by transferring it into the universe of Timeless. "Project Anasazi" was shut down once before and resurrected, why can't it happen again, especially given that the book series was never finished?

I've been searching high and low for a romance summary that will work with my fandom. When I stumbled upon this one at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, I knew I had hit pay dirt. I don't have to leave my favorite character, Rufus, out of the story. I can still write a slow burn romance for Wyatt and Lucy. (I can even give the Timeless team a break and write one story as a crossover with The X-Files and send Mulder and Scully back to retrieve one of the artifacts.)

Obviously, I'm not going to write four of these by my posting date. Given my track record, I won't finish the first one until 2020. If you don't think this idea fits with the goals of [community profile] unconventionalcourtship, I understand completely.

What do you say? Am I in or am I out?

Also, the make your own banner thingie has disappeared.
