If your a newb to the entire franchise of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe". Don't Panic. We can help you, a humble newb, understand the entire franchise within a few minutes. Mostly you should start at the Hitchhiker's Wiki which is the vital source of information dedicated to the franchise. And by information, we mean characters, book synopsis, places and information on merchandising. Mostly the wiki has about 100 articles in it's repository, so it shouldn't take you long to learn about the entire franchise. But the wiki alone can not provide you on how to write it so basically it's just if you want to learn more about the franchise. Here's what I suggest you do/read/watch/listen/whatever.
