* LiteraryAgentHypothesis: Hoo boy... Okay: Martin writes the story; he manages to get it to one of his fellow scientists, who transcribes the journals to digital format and passes them on to ''another'' scientist connected to the Phase Shifter project, who in turn hands them over, years later, to the man writing a book about the "failed" project.

The Shifter teleports Martin into the midst of an Edenic mountain country, and before long he discovers that the place is not only habitable but actually inhabited. The unusual creatures that he meets... well, he would call them fairies, except that fairies aren't an average of seven feet in height. They remind him vaguely of [[Literature/LordOfTheRings Tolkien's elves]], except Tolkien's elves (while equally efficient hunters) aren't really the BarbarianHero / WarriorPoet type, nor do they dress like [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian something out of a Frank Frazetta painting]], nor do they have wings and antennae. Despite their initially fierce appearance, the Esprit (as they call themselves) soon reveal themselves to be an incredibly friendly race; once Martin has begun to learn their language, his closest friends among them are not only willing but eager to teach him about their culture.

''Among The Esprit'' is a work in progress, an illustrated SF-meets-sword-and-sorcery fantasy somewhat in the vein of the LightNovel. Its author, who posts here as {{YYZ}}, is making his first drafts and preliminary artwork available online at jakesbrain.deviantart.com.
