While I was reading it weekly, I didn't discover the forums around Time until just now, after it was over - I think that worked really well, actually, because while the end did feel a little sudden to me, finding out the history and backstory of it made it more complete for me (reading it on my own, I guessed it was far-future but couldn't actually date it since I barely recognize the stars we have ^^; And I totally missed all hints as to the actual location, which was really neat to find out after the fact!)
