| //**The Race, but not their Empire, ISOT to OTL 2007 **// is an [[asb timelines|ASB Timeline]] and Fan Novella by [[offtopic:Pkmatrix]] describing the social, political, and psychological aftermath of [[alternate history:the Race]] from [[alternate history:Harry Turtledove]]'s //**[[alternate history:Worldwar]]**// series being ISOTed from their fictional world into a realistic interpretation of [[alternate history:OTL]] in October 2007. In a twist, only individuals and certain other objects, such as buildings where there is none in OTL or items in personal possession, have been transported, robbing the Race of most of their advanced technology and hardware. Suddenly no longer the dominant power on Earth and now at the mercy of Real World nations, the Race must also come to terms with the revelation that they were only characters in a series of science fiction novels, implying that they may be the only survivors of their species. | //**The Race, but not their Empire, ISOT to OTL 2007 **// is an [[asb timelines|ASB Timeline]] and Fan Novella by [[offtopic:Pkmatrix]] describing the social, political, and psychological aftermath of [[alternate history:the Race]] from [[alternate history:Harry Turtledove]]'s //**[[alternate history:Worldwar]]**// series being ISOTed from their fictional world into a realistic interpretation of [[alternate history:OTL]] in October 2007.

| The story is told in three major parts, covering events in late 2007, early 2009, and fall/winter 2029, from the points of view of several (mostly alien) characters. Scenes are divided by excerpts from news articles ten years in the future, filling in the gaps in the timeline. The timeline was most active from 2007 until 2010, but is not yet complete. The last update was in September 2014, and as of December 2019 it remains on indefinite hiatus although Pkmatrix considers it de facto completed. | The story is told in three major parts, covering events in late 2007, early 2009, and fall/winter 2029, from the points of view of several (mostly alien) characters.
