Which would serve your story better? In fact, why not a little bit of both? The first planet could have been colonized by multiple peoples.

So I have a question: I have a bad habit of working on multiple projects at the same time. Alright fine. Then I got the idea of stringing three of them together, in a sort of lose continuity. The first is a Trapped in Another World story that I originally wrote as a piece of LOTR fanfiction, then realized that I liked the protagonist, the ending didn't fit the LOTR universe at all, and the LOTR elements weren't necessary for the plot at all. They were easily replaceable with fantasy creations of my own design, I just really like the Lord of the Rings. Fine.
The second series is the protagonist of the first book coming home and realizing that his world is actually an Urban Fantasy. Fine. The final series is set far in the future, being a masquerade-less Urban Fantasy IN SPACE, with a portal network. The population encountered in this third series is a combination of human and alien. All fine.
The question is this: going back to the first novel, the protagonist basically uses the same sort of portal that is used in the third, implying that he's actually not in a different dimension, just a far-flung part of space. Now, do you think I should have a Diaspora from earth via these portals (a la Stargate), justifying the presence of humans so far from earth, or merely rewrite the natives of the first story's world as aliens.
