This is an interesting story, if somewhat light on the details of the world Mr. O'Brien created. Nonetheless, from the description it does sound at least somewhat alt-history, with recognizable historical figures (frequently with minor changes to their names) and, apparently portions of the story told through documents framed as newspaper articles and so on; very reminiscent of some styles of writing TLs on this very board!
Strange to think of someone pre-internet writing out a long elaborate TL in their basement, complete with art and such, but simply having absolutely no one to share it with.
Even stranger to think that he had a successful career and family; and just left his little world that he was still writing in the basement.
