I first showed up after someone mentioned Harry Turtledove's CSA books, and I was trying to look it up because they sounded interesting. Whatever I was searching for ended up with the Althistory wiki as one of the top search results. I looked around a bunch, saw some awful stuff, then saw 83DD. Noticed Vancouver Island was untouched and wrote up the Victoria article. Then moved on to Prussia and I was hooked. Its been my creative outlet for a while now.

Speaking of beating to the punch. You've done that on several occaisions. Whenever I mention an idea I have about something on a talk page or so, like an hour later theres an article in that area by you. Though to your credit you don't steal the ideas, just snap up the territory before I can get around to it. Damn me and my inspirational influence :P
