From The Official GPF Wiki
This article is a stub and will be fleshed out as time permits. It also serves as a loose summation of a major story arc within the GPF archives. A full appreciation and understanding of the events encompassed in this story can only come from reading it in its entirety.
Start Date in Archive: Year Eight, To Thine Own Self..., November 20, 2005
Duration: 48 seven-day "weeks" (by calendar, approximately two years & three months), 336 comics
Location: Primarily the Negaverse, but also a few small locations throughout the GPF universe and a couple multi-dimensional points in the Cosmos
To Thine Own Self... is the second year-long "mega" story arc encompassing all of GPF's eighth "year". It is the culmination of events occurring and alluded to in the previous seven years, especially the three years following Surreptitious Machinations, and primarily centers around an alternate universe dubbed by Faulties as "the Negaverse". Nick's counterpart from this universe, Emperor Nicholas the Puissant, kidnaps our hapless alpha geek for reasons unknown and it is up to Nick's friends to hop dimensions to save him, all on the eve of his long-awaited marriage to Ki.
Note: Due to circumstances beyond the author's control, this story took much longer to publish on the site than originally intended. The story was meant to be published within the calendar year from November 2005 to October 2006. However, various factors caused updates to be severely cut in July 2006 and eventually to completely halt from September to November 2006. In November, updates resumed but only once per week until the story was completed in March 2008. Thus, a story written as 48 seven-day "weeks" actually took nearly two and a quarter years to publish. Regardless, the entire story is treated as a single "year" within the archives, similar to Surreptitious Machinations, and will continue to be referenced in this way for the foreseeable future.
