You may know me as the man behind Forgotten Trek, but I maintain a second website science-fiction fans may be interested in: Never Was Magazine.
It's an online alternate-history magazine devoted to the genres of steampunk, dieselpunk and atomicpunk.
Steampunk is usually set a nineteenth century where the future happened sooner. Think Jules Verne, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Wild Wild West.
Dieselpunk is similar, but set in the 1920s-50s. Good examples are Indiana Jones and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. This is my favorite.
Atomicpunk takes it into the Cold War period. Think futuristic predictions of the 1950s and 60s coming true or the Cold War taking a turn for the worse. Examples: James Bond, The Jetsons, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., For All Mankind.
Use the blog view to see what's new. We publish two or three stories per week, including art, reviews, genre analysis, real-world history and alternate-history scenarios.
The magazine has a message-board community attached to it, called the Never Was Lounge.
