I'm currently a member of
"Point of Divergence," an APA (
Amateur Press Association) about Alternate History. Since 1996, every two months (well, in theory, anyway...), all the members submit a "zine," responding to the previous issue's content, putting forth alternate history ideas, submitting stories, and generally talking our little hearts out about Alternate History.
It's rather fun.
Anywho, part as an experiment, I will from now on be posting my zine in HTML format as well, at this website. Partially it is so that members of the APA -- if they loose a page (or it xeroxs badly, rather likely, I'm afraid) can come here and check on what I've written (it'll also be easier for them to do comments -- all they have to do is copy text from here if they want to quote me).
And I can have actual working links, rather than just quoting the URL...
It is also so that non-POD members can see what I'm doing every two months. Oh, it's going to be a little confusing, I'll give you that (since much of my zine is comments on what other people have said, context can get somewhat lost), but it should be interesting none-the-less. Heck, if you get
too frustrated, maybe you'll be inspired to join POINT OF DIVERGENCE just to find out what everyone else has been saying. Say "Hi" to
Dale Cozort for me.
I'll keep the last six issues - theoretically one year's worth, but things often slip a bit - of zines up here (just six, so that the amount of disk space they use doesn't gets
too ridiculous). If you
really feel the need, email me and I'll send you any older issues (but remember, I only started html'ing these things with Number 14, so any before that will be in Word Perfect format).

Now, since I also do covers and other graphics for POD - but don't want to see them vanish when I "retire" an older issue here, they've now got their own page:
