-Roberto el Rey is a poster who hails, with a lesser or greater levels of pride depending on the year, from the [[offtopic:usa|United States of America]]. Despite residing in the [[offtopic:illinois|Land of Lincoln]], he is unlikely ever to support the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)|Party of Lincoln]]. Instead he is rather more of a social liberal/democrat, which makes him a commie by his country's standards but apparently right at home by the standards of AH.com.+poster from [[offtopic:illinois|Illinois]] who joined in March of 2017.
  
-He is currently deeply involved in his TL, [[timelines:before_1984|Before 1984]], which seeks to create a plausible backstory for the world of Orwell's //1984//. He frequently posts updates, although he invariably checks back within two days, finds flaws in prior posts and changes them, sometimes to the effect of modifying the entire post. If you quote a post of his and then notice later on that that post is different, don't be surprised.+**Works**
  
-He reads lots of the TLIADs because they are short enough for him to digest in one sitting. Otherwisehe can typically be found lurking around the Finished Threads forum and various contemporary politics threads. In addition to an alternate historian, he is also singer. He is proficient, to varying levels, in Russian and French, with smattering of Spanish for good measure. His writing style has been described (by himself and others) as captivating but rather long-winded, though most resulting flaws in his prose are typically fixed in short order (see above). He is self-centered enough that he will write several paragraphs about nothing but himself that probably no one will ever care to read. +**[[offtopic:under_the_spreading_chestnut_tree|Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree]]** (formerly Before 1984), a TL which attempts to give plausible backstory for George Orwell'classic novel //Nineteen Eighty-Four//. Ongoingbut currently on definite break until December 142017.
