Tikatu's Travels Through Time

Okay, here's the scoop!

I've got two stories, one I've been working on for a while called Resolutions Redux, and another that I did for NaNoWriMo last November entitled, Brainstorm. They both center around the character of Brains, who is International Rescue's genius-nerd in residence. The first begins at New Year's, and concerns Brains's attempts to become a "chick magnet". The second tells the tale of Brains's background, mostly taken from the authorized materials, and with a twist of my own. It happens in the early autumn, before Thanksgiving.

I've been toying with the idea of linking the two and making Brainstorm a prequel of sorts to Resolutions Redux. And I'm at a point in the older story where I should make this choice. There wouldn't be too much tweaking involved with the older story; the only thing would be the addition of a cat (there is almost always a cat, lately ). The newer story is mostly finished. It would just need some polishing and a few scenes added here and there.

So, what do you think? Should I link to the two? Or should I keep them separate?
