Background

Stuck in Fast Forward was first published in 1999 by HarperCollins in paperback format.[2] In 2003, it was expanded and released in the United States by E-Reads under the title The Hunger of Time.[3] It was a short-list nominee for the 1999 Aurealis Award for best young-adult novel but lost to Dave Luckett's A Dark Victory.[4]

Reception

The Courier-Mail (Brisbane, Australia) praised Stuck in Fast Forward as hilarious and clever and stating it "has enough quirks to appeal to the most curious future time-traveller".[3]

gollark: I try to write all languages as if I'm writing fairly bad Haskell.
gollark: How elegant*.
gollark: Yes, that was one possibility but would also be quite limiting.
gollark: I have devised a possible solution:- do the virtual channel thing- when a Discord channel is added to a virtual channel, it checks which ones are already connected- these are added to a lookup table of some sort for inter-VC bridging - all the channels which are currently causing inter-VC bridging are stored- when a message is somethinged on a virtual channel, it is bridged based on the lookup table- when a virtual channel is unlinked from a real channel it removes it from the lookup table- when the lookup table entry for the inter-virtual-channel link contains 0 items, bridging stops
gollark: I have stuff in place for this anyway. I just want a nicer solution.
