new request-time travel

Looking for Time Travel story recommendations.

Specifically:

-NOT tagged Do Over stories...have read all the ones that have interested me on this site with a couple of exceptions for ongoing serials (I am trying to wait till they get completed). If you know of a Do Over story that is not tagged Do Over, then by all means recommend it.

-I don't really care about the source of the time travel but I usually find a story more interesting/entertaining if the source is unknown or accidental.

-Prefer stories where person's knowledge base of future is relevant and helpful but NOT encyclopedic or fool-proof.

a) Have read the Robledo Mt series by Kraken and am looking forward to bk 5. That being said, I feel in that story his having a working computer with encyclopedia on it, a trailer full of modern weapons and ammo and equip to make more/repair them, and detailed maps of gold finds in the area ended up being a bit of an overwhelming combo of advantages to the MC. However, I did like the pacing of the story, the development of relationships, and the theme of striving for a better future for his people.

b) Am currently reading Scotland-the-brave's Surviving series. MC's knowledge base and use of it is more realistic but the development of relationships was a bit lacking IMO and the pacing of the story was kind of haphazard.

-MC doesn't need to be a sex god / attract a harem ... but I do prefer a strong relationship to build/develop/be shown between MC and a romantic interest.

-Bonus: Most TT/DO stories are male-centric ...are there any female ones out there? That could be very interesting if done right.

-Additional Bonus: A story where MC meets younger self. Twice Lucky did that in a way where MC got sent back to somebody else's teen body and met his younger self...but I would like to read a story where MC meets younger self but AS him/herself not as someone else...

Kind of a rambling request here... so in a nutshell:

-Time Travel stories (or Do-Over stories NOT tagged as Do-Over)

-Don't care about method or source

-Prefer a good structured storyline with good pacing, good relationship building, and helpful but not all-knowing/overwhelming knowledge of future.

-A romantic interest.

-Bonus for story with female MC or MC meets younger self.

EDIT: PLEASE...NO Premier Membership stories... at this time I cannot afford a membership, so am primarily interest in the free stories. In the future, when I can afford a membership, I already have a long list of premier stories to look into.

Not quite time travel, the young (18yo) MC got involuntarily transferred into an alternate reality with humans, elves, dwarfs and wizards.
Ka Hmnd's A New Beginning.

Wes Boyd's "Joe/Joan" (on his site) is a do-over where a man comes back as the sister he never had, told from the sister's perspective.

Old Man With a Pen has several time travel stories scattered amongst all the others.

Hmm, several?
Wendy's World are all time travel stories, because of the watches (in some of the stories it's only a small part of the plot). Same with all Flintkote stories.

Given the number of stories he's posted, I think several works. After all, several are just a special case of lots.

Chinaman's Chance by sourdough

Jennifer Yang is thrust back in time to 1882 San Francisco. Does she have a Chinaman's chance of surviving? Voted second best erotic western for the 2015 Clitorides.

A story where MC meets younger self... this is a bit of the opposite but Mayhem in a Pill by Shinerdrinker have the MC visited by his future self bringing him special gift that made sure he grew up differently than the older visitor. The story later branched between the younger version's life and the older version's continuing his life after giving the younger the gift, so it kinda makes him a main character too.

And now for something different . . . Magician's Merger by Xenophon Hendrix is time travel, growing up, magic, and fun. It was posted in 2008 but it is not behind the veil so X must be checking in occasionally. I wish he would have posted more stories but I thank him for this one -- it's a goody.

Or, XH could simply be a pseudonym for another writer here, and the reason why the story is not 'behind the veil' is the writer has moved on to another genre.

Equally possible, is that the individual simply wrote the story to get Premier access and once achieved, stopped writing.

Well aware of the various scenarios you described - heck just check the many akas of Harry Lime and Rache. Still, I meant it that I wish XH had posted more stories here and that I thought Magician's Merger was a great story.

Thank you for the recommendation another little gem I had missed.

He also started a sequel, Magician's Integration (not on this site), but left it incomplete.

Maybe they have, and maybe you have read them, but you just don't know it...

Have you written to the author asking if they have any more stories? You could always write them a nice letter asking for more...

Yes, XH responded quickly: "I haven't finished anything in a long time."

More's the pity, as I often heard as a child. I had hoped there might be something on an old hard disk that might prime the pump.

Ahhh, shame. Though you have learned at least two things, XH is still alive, responds to messages, and isn't writing. Whilst not what you wanted to hear, you never know, it might spur XH to do something...

Fantasylover has several

The Methuselah Complex
Jacob Greene is given the gift of the Methuselah Complex by his Uncle. With it, when Jacob dies, he takes over the body of a different young man who just died, and who was born near the time Jacob reached puberty. Jacob learns things about the power of the Methuselah Complex that his Uncle hadn't figured out, things that makes his new life much more rewarding. Warning: Spanking and minor domination involved.

A story in the Perchance Universe

This series is about archaeologists with unusual "friends."

Spirit Quest
16-year-old David Whitehorse suddenly finds himself transported more than 1500 years into the past. This is the story of how his parents prepared him and of his life back then: how he used his considerable knowledge and skills, and how he finally came to understand why he ended up back then.

Joe J.

Joe J. has just started an intriguing new story, ElPaso, over on scifistories.

"Tyler McGuinn was a washed up rodeo bull rider when he boarded a plane in Phoenix one day in 1977. The next thing he knew, he was a no account cowboy on a cattle drive headed for El Paso in 1877. To make matters worse, he was the cowboy destined to die by the back door of Rosa's Cantina. Fate had dealt Ty an ugly hand...or maybe not.
"

It's tagged 'Time Travel' but not 'DoOver'. But ... Best make your own mind up.

Doh! My assumption definitely made an ass out of me!

Thanks for that info.

It appears I read it a long time ago so it's a bit worrying I don't remember it.

ETA: I was thinking of posting some stuff over on scifistories myself in order to get earned premier membership, now that it's no longer carried over from SOL. Apart from the excellent 'Star Guardian' series and the occasional quirky offering from Agni Sutra, there's not a lot on the site's home page to attract readers from SOL.
