Hello there!
Recently I have gotten quite a few comments saying that my novel After Earth's Fall is a lot like The 100 (popular science fiction netflix show and novel). I just want to set the record straight that I have in no way tried to mimick The 100 with AEF. In fact, there is little correlation at all since:
1. The beginning of The 100 is set in general space on a space station, not Mars or let alone a planet
2. The main characters are not juveniles as in The 100
3. The main characters in AEF are free to go to Earth by their own free will and there is no competition to go to Earth in The 100
4. Only 5 people go to Earth, rather than you guessed it; 100
In order to not spoil any of the plot, there's are few of many examples I could make. The only similiarties are that Earth was destroyed by radiation and the main characters get to go back to this new Earth centuries later. Beyond that, the plots are so different and are not comparable. I'm only bringing this up because I do respect other people's work, and I have put a lot of effort into AEF so it is a bit hurtful when I get a heap of comments disregarding it as its own unique thing.
