====== Timeline ======

In the lingo/slang of fans and writers of the alternate history genre, a timeline is either:

  * 1.) a **chronological date-by-date list** (timeline) **of events that appear in a specific alternate history scenario** (e.g. "28th October 1624 - Courland lands on OTL Antigua and declares the island its colony. 29th October 1624 - Colonists from Courland suffer an unpleasant shock. They discover that the Portuguese have already set up shop on the other side of the island.", etc.)   
  * 2.) a **shorthand synonym for "alternate history scenario" itself** (e.g. "Do you remember that timeline I started in May ?" "Oh yeah, I do ! How's that TL doing ? Are there any updates ?", etc.) 

**NOTE: This page is a developing work in progress. Be patient and stay tuned for its further development.**
