In Daring Do and the Gryphon's Quest, chapter 5, I lay out a major part of my alternate history. I have also just posted chapter six.
My alternate history began when i first viewed the Heartharming Pageant. There were more and worse holes in it than in the old cowboys and indians mythology of the Old West of the USA. I was raised on that and several other such modern myths.
As a result, I am a BIG CYNIC when faced with such happy tales.
If you want more details of my Alternate History, I am happy to provide them. Just PM me.
