Theme: Cross-Historical Stories

Cross-Historical Stories refers to stories that take place in more than one era. This does not refer to works that merely offer prologues, flashbacks or retellings of past events but rather where the drama of the story’s plotline straddles more than one period, usually greater than one individual lifetime. This also does not concern Time Travel stories.

This can range from various generations of a family as in a Family Saga. Some genre works cover epochs of human history, which can range from a few decades and centuries or all the way from the origins or end of the world or universe.

Such stories can be grand tapestries that tell of events affecting human history, of mysterious connections or how objects and places affect people in different eras. Others can be told through the eyes of an immortal or concern people reincarnated in different periods.
