FAN North America

North America in For All Nails.

For All Nails is a continuation and clarification of the Sobel Timeline from For Want of a Nail .... It was created by a group of alternate history enthusiasts in the USENET newsgroup soc.history.what-if. For All Nails consists of a series of vignettes of life in the Sobel Timeline, along with magazine articles, newspaper stories, and vitavision transcripts. Although most of the vignettes were written between 2001 and 2004, new ones continue to be written and posted.

Another For All Nails archive, sadly incomplete, is available from FAN contributor Dan McDonald.

A set of contemporary and historical maps of FAN Europe can be found here.

A chronology of events in the FANTL can be found at FAN chronology.

Noel Maurer explains why he re-drew the Mexican state boundaries in Redrawing Sobel.
