Moving of Story fic to Alternate History page

Tiamat

I've seen the future...
Hi, I logged in today and found that my story fic under the Creative Writing section "World War 3: 1988, aka The War of '88" had been moved to the Alternate History subforum. While I don't mind the move and certainly hope to hear more from alternate history fans, I would have appreciated a notice in advance of this. Also, is there a way to let anyone that might go to the Creative Writing subforum looking for this story or updates to the story to be redirected to the story where it now sits in the Alternate History subforum? Thanks! :)

Looking at the Creative Writing forum it shows a redirect link.

Tiamat,
This was a decision made rather suddenly and decisively at the highest of levels. Redirects will be in place for two weeks for users to find their favorite stories having been moved. Furthermore, because of the way the links are set up, any links to the thread will still point to it in the new home.

We should notify people in advance when a move is made because of a board reorg—lesson learned.

It's cool guys, it's fine. I think I should make everyone aware though, "World War 3: 1988" isn't strictly an alternate history exercise. Besides some technological/weaponry-based and geopolitical "what ifs", there's going to be quite a number of characters from various tv shows, novels, films etc. that eventually get featured in this story and will each play a role in some regard, or bear witness to events in the story. I've already had chapters written featuring or mentioning Harmon Rabb of JAG, the A-Team, Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Jack Ryan, with more on the way.

The best thing I can compare this to, is CurtisLemays "Night Witches" story that takes place in another alternate WW3 scenario featuring characters from the "Daria" animated TV show. So, essentially, it's a multiverse fanfiction of sorts...taking place in an alternate timeline, fictional World War 3, with all the unmitigated and uncensored horrors that come with it. 😊😈

Either way, just want to make sure we're all on the same page here.
