Edition Two is based on Alone And Forsaken, my original manuscript of this story that had far fewer characters and storylines and had Rick Grimes as the protagonist. That in turn was based on a very old manuscript for a novel I thought of a forever ago.

I wanted to write E2 to polish my old idea as finally write it for other people to read. In the end the story ended up being planned out for around four to five years before debuting last year on the wiki.
