====== Counter-factual.net ======

An AH forum created by [[offtopic:Midgard]]. In many ways a smaller and more intimate version of AH.com. Unfortunately, also a magnet for several notable members of the [[Hall of Infamy]].

==== Closure of CF.net ====

On the 10th of September 2015, [[offtopic:Midgard]] announced that he'll be gradually winding down the forum by the end of the year, after a long nine years of existence. One of the main cited reasons for this decision was the relatively low user traffic on the forum, and the often lacking reader feedback to the timelines and stories of the resident writers.

==== Spiritual Successor =====

Counter-factual.net received something of a spiritual successor discussion forum (as mentioned in one of the above included discussion threads). The **[[offtopic:Writer's Ark|Writer's Ark discussion forum]]** was launched in early 2016, and is aimed primarily to foster writing and posting of stories, and discussions on conceptualising, writing and publishing various fiction (including speculative fiction genres, of course). Though not specialised primarily in alternate history fiction, AH is one of the many genres you can discuss over there, in the capacity of an AH writer.

==== In AH.com Fiction ====

The site's name and its community was the inspiration for the //[[stories:CF.net|MES CF.net]]//, the rival multiverse-travelling ship to the //[[stories:Ah.com ship|MES AH.com]]// in the original //**[[stories:AH.com The Series]]**//.
