BTW folks, keep an eye out for related threads. I plan to write on both India and China soon, and may even use an earlier POD there. Different threads will be started for contemporary histories. Volume II and III should be started relatively soon, in a basic research style. I've also been going through this thread and noting places I need to edit and expand on so this portion of the timeline will be released and stylised. Further more I have maps in progress for India, China and Europe relating to OaTWS's immeadiate future. You who have relevent information concerning the time periods I'm currently writting on will be contacted, so hopefully you are willing to help as much as you have in the past. Anyone that can help will be placed in a list of aknoledgements with your particular contributions.
So join me soon, and I'll tell you a tale from a world where everying thing changed just because one ship didn't sink.
