I've been thinking about the concept of time travel a lot lately because the main idea behind my fantasy WIP is that my MC is going to magically travel to a time in earth's history that is so ancient it has fallen out of common memory. She'll be fairly heavily involved in the events that follow and then, when everything is over, she'll be magically brought back to her own time again where everything is still exactly the way it always has been.
My only concern about this idea is that I'm afraid readers might have an issue with the fact that my MC's time traveling to the distant past and had no effect on the present. Is this a legitimate concern that I'll end up having to address somehow in the story, or do you think suspension of disbelief would keep the reader from worrying about it?
