Alternate History Media
This page serves as a collection of threads posted in the discussion board that specialize as places for gathering various visual works (or short-form written works) created by AH.commers. The threads listed on this page might include the likes of alternate flags of countries, alternate propaganda posters, photoshopped photos representing events or personalities from alternate timelines, etc.
Most of these threads originated in the “Alternate History Books and Media Forum” and the “Alternate History Writer's Forum”. However, as of the 1st of August 2013, they received their very own little forum. This was done in part to help prevent clutter on the now neighbouring forums they originated in, since AH.com has grown quite a bit over the years and artwork threads have become a lot more common on the board than they once used to be.
