My google fu and SDMB search skills have failed me. But since I heard about the story here I figure someone might recognize it. It’s a series of novels published solely online, about a gay man in the military who is the subject of a series of time travel experiments that send him into the body of his past younger self where he tries to avert various historical events and form relationships with lost loves. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I don’t know, but it sounds surprisingly appealing. I would love to see a scenario in which the bloody 80 Years’ War is averted by Maurice of Nassau-Orange and Philip IV of Spain getting it on with each other.
Here ya go: Do Over by Dan Kirk.
Fair warning: This author has a major problem with his dialogue capitalization and punctuation, and a few consistent nonstandard spellings of common words. It may cause your eyes to bleed after a while.
I’m reading it now, up to Chapter 4. It really is a pretty good story. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks that’s it! I had read the entire thing sometime ago but couldn’t find my bookmark for it. I guess it’s an amateur wish fulfillment story, but I quite enjoyed it.
For a similar-themed book, consider “The man who folded himself” by David Gerrold.
However in this one, the time travel guy meets himself repeatedly, and has sex with his selves from other times, including some large orgies consisting only of himself, folded in time over and over again.
If this doesn’t already exist it really needs to.
Arf, sorry for the double post but I’ve been sucked into this story now, so thank you jackdavinci and Ponderoid for killing my summer boredom for at least this evening. No it’s not the best written thing in the universe, but it’s definitely enough to catch my interest. 
(Too bad about the white on blue color scheme, though, I’m going to need glasses by the time I finish it.)
Gerrold is one of the few major out gay writers in the field.
However, I note that in the book the time streams get so twisted that some of his selves turn out to be female, which I believe helped with the orgies. But my memory has also been subject to twisting by time.
Right click, hit “Select all,” and read it as blue on white.
