Hey there, alt-hist-peoples!

I've recently immigrated to these forums, and I'm looking for people interested in working together on fleshing out a timeline and universe. I have done a little collaborative worldbuilding before, and I think it'd be a great exercise cooperating on one.

So, what do I have in mind? To paraphrase my post on reddit about the same thing:

The basic idea is that in the period around 1750-1800, Europe becomes engulfed in a series of massive, interconnected wars. Much like our world's Napoleonic Wars, these end up drastically changing the map of Europe and the balance of powers. And rather like the Napoleonic Wars, it would pit Revolutionaries against Reactionaries; the dream of nation and freedom against the steel and gold of the old powers. Of course, that is the popular narrative, but countless other scores and feuds are addressed over the war as well. Unlike our Napoleonic Wars, it would be Germany at the forefront of the Revolutionary coalition.

How? Why? Well, that's our job to find out.

The concept is really to "reverse-engineer" a TL, having this setup as an end point, and then justifying how it ended up there. I have already made a bit of work in collaboration with another user, but anyone interested should not hesitate to say so! Post here, send me a PM - anything, really. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested.
