Hey, good to chat again :) - I'd written a lot of draft material, but going back over it, I really need to rewrite to bring the standard up. The last two of three of years of pretty much ghost-writing has really helped, and I look back at what I'd drafted and go, hmmmmm, re-write needed! The...
In the end, there would have been a lot more than that, and that's what the previous 54 pages was working towards. Finland's army was majorly outnumbered and outgunned, as was their air force, and yet the Winter War ended with Finland unoccupied. As did WW2. Helsinki was one of only three...
When I started this, I'd intended it to be background for a series of novels. Waaaay detailed background, and I got far more down into the weeds than I actually needed to out of sheer interest in all the different aspects of this. In the end, I actually got far more interested in building my...
No, it starts in the early 1920's, altho there's references to earlier history, particularly the economic and social aspects. But the kickoff was the mid-1920's.
Ohhhh whoaaaa, it does date back a year or three doesn't it. That first post was back in February 2011, and the bulk of it was written over 2011-2014. Not a whole lot since then, for sure. Glad it made enough of an impression to remember though :)
Not a bad idea. I imagine there's a lot of...
Hi everyone, I know, I know, it's been a couple of year since I last posted on this thread, and a little more since I actually a posted some content, but it's coming back from the dead to continue (the thread, not me. I'm very much alive). And thx CalBear for unlocking for me. Much appreciated...
Well, it's alive but I haven't done anything much for months. I have to kick my ass into gear and keep working on this - for the last year, I've really been concentrating on improving my fictional "novel writing" skills fairly intensively, with a series of actual novels planned for which this is...
In TTL, the Soviet Union does not attack Finland at the time of the German attack on the Soviet Union in the Summer of 1941. Finland partially mobilizes but remains neutral. With Stalin dead, the triumvirate ruling the USSR sees no value in attacking Finland and other than maintaining defences...

That said, some of you probably remember that post I did on Arabella Jakobsen. Been working on that novel of and on - just worked through the last chapter in the Creative Writing Workshop I'm going to so here's a revised and updated version of that. Just...
No, have a post coming up, but between work and working at writing the actual alternative history novel(s) to go with this, I'm not doing a lot on here or the axishistory forum at the moment.
Apologies to all for my lack of posts in 2015 - been rather busy with work and with my "creative writing" courses - that all important first novel is being worked on - aiming to have my first draft of "Rannikkojääkärit" completed for June, in time for a 3 day intensive writing workshop. Most...
Hey, I know what you mean about the walls of text. I look at it sometimes and go "Holy S$#!, did I write ALL that!" Anyhow, thx for perservering and I'm happy you enjoyed it so far.
It's definitely not dead. Working on a couple more series of posts at the moment. But don't have as much time as...
