-Contrary to popular belief, he's **NOT** a fan of the [[alternate_history/draka|Draka]] series by [[alternate_history/s._m._stirling|S. M. Stirling]]. That would be [[offtopic:stirlingdraka]] or some other board member.

+Unsurprisingly, DrakonFin has an interest in Finnish AH scenarios.
-Recently, he's undertaken the daunting task of writing [[timelines/protect_and_survive_spinoffs|a Finnish spinoff]] of [[timelines/protect_and_survive|Protect and Survive]], aptly named **//[[timelines:The Land of Sad Songs]]//**. It's one of his first TLs and so far, it seems to be going really well...

+//**[[timelines:The Land of Sad Songs]]**// - A [[timelines:protect_and_survive_spinoffs|a Finnish spinoff]] of //**[[timelines:protect_and_survive|Protect and Survive]]**//. DrakonFin undertook the daunting task of writing this detailed and atmospheric 1980s timeline in the winter of 2011, and finished it some three years later, in 2014. Though the timeline never won any official awards, it was regularly nominated for them, and is considered one of the best spinoff timelines set in in AH.com's shared [[timelines:Protect and Survive Universe]].
+DrakonFin's previous attempt at a Finnish WWII era TL, **//[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=161902|The Lords of the North]]//**, remains unfinished.
