I had read my first Harry Turtledove Novel: Great War; American Front, then I thought "Hey, I'll see if I can find something like that on the internet." Googled it, and found this!

I tried a couple timelines when I joined, but stopped working on them and deleted them later. Then I started working on French Trafalgar, British Waterloo, then Titanic: The Luckiest Ship in the World, and started Choose Your Own Alternate History!, and the rest is, well, "alternate" history.
