A bit over two years ago, I took a break from my normal work, opened up old notebooks and files, and put together a series of one shot scenarios set in a series of divergences focused on the Second World War. Of the seven stories of that collection, which can be found here, I'd say three of them had merit, and at least six of them were actually pretty enjoyable to write. So I figure, why the hell not do it again? Well there's quite a few reasons but if the WWII Tech spec people don't like what I've got I can't help you guys, I hope you enjoy it in spite of my potential mistakes about which engine did how many RPMs vs some other engine.

This time around I have a much larger list of potential stories I might go with, some of them based on things I decided not to do last time, some of them things that I've picked up in some of the reading I've done since, based on the positive reaction that the most esoteric story of the old collection got, quite a few of them are WWII related by stands. Others are much more WWII focused, beyond what I wrote last time centered around specific changes at battles or with tech. A few of them are going to be posted with profuse apologies to authors far better than me, when I play with their shit without asking to make glorified fan fiction. One of them that I'm definitely going to do is going to be a sequel to a Spy Novella that I only posted a portion of on the site but which folks might like.

Anyway, I've got the first of these ready to go and I'll be posting it shortly, and as always here's me pleading for thoughts, comments, and criticisms. They're great and they help my fragile writer's ego more then likes. Which are also totally welcome.

As a content warning, things in a few of these stories are going to be unpleasant because World War II was an unpleasant conflict and all of mankind were made bastards by it even in the best case. So yeah.

Hope people enjoy.
