Up today at the Sobel Wiki are two more For All Nails vignettes. First is #223: "You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello" by yours truly, in which German forces withdraw from a military base in Picardy, France in May 1975. Next is #258: "We're a Happy Family" by David Mix Barrington, a sequel to #186: "A Boy's Life".
"You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello" was first posted to the soc.history.what-if newsgroup on 13 March 2003, and "We're a Happy Family" on 12 July 2003.
And a historical note: today marks the second anniversary of the founding of the Sobel Wiki. After two years of moderately hard work (including several months of malign neglect), the Sobel Wiki now has 1669 pages, about three quarters of which are FAN vignettes and footnotes. Whew! I'd like to thank my collaborators David Mix Barrington and Bel Riose for their assistance in this massive undertaking. When it's all done . . . if it ever is all done . . . the Sobel Wiki will be the epicenter of the internet (or at least of the For Want of a Nail section of the internet, which is practically the same thing).
