1632 Tech Manual
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1632 Tech Manual, 1632 Slush, and 1632 Comments are each one of three specialized sub-forums of a specific sub-community of the general online community known as Baen's Bar which is dedicated to developing the background for collaborative fiction in the first Assiti Shards type fictional universe—1632 universe or 1632-verse— that began in the novel 1632 by Eric Flint. The novel was written as a stand-alone literary work, an experiment with the new Assiti Shards story premise, and was but one of three such universes planned by Flint in 2000, but the sensation and interest engendered by the novel's publication subsequently caused the other works to be temporarily shelved; The other long delayed three books in the overall Assiti Shard series which are currently in production under contract are:
- TIMESPIKE, with Marilyn Kosmatka, In Production
- 1776, This is a solo novel that Flint will be working on sometime toward the end of 2006.
- BY ANY OTHER NAME, co-authored by Sarah Hoyt, and a first draft is completed.
According to Flint, The above is the probably order in which the books will be published, because Jim Baen really wants the 1776 novel as soon as possible.
The 1632 Tech Manual forum has had a large role in developing the overall series as its discussions revolve around the course of likely events, reactions and developments as the fictional town of 3,000 souls transplated into the middle of the religious based Thirty Years' War
