Summary

A fairly minor alternate, as things go: The same wars, the same kings and presidents. The only major differences can be found in the world's libraries, which are full of works unknown or unfinished on Baseline. The complete Mystery of Edwin Drood. Seven Shakespeare plays never mentioned in surviving Baseline records. A third novel of Alice by Lewis Carrol. The complete works of Aristophanes. A bunch of VC Andrews books actually written by VC Andrews. The "Blackmoor" hardcover AD&D supplement by Dave Arneson, the Judge's Guild superhero game, and three editions of Hot Lead by Steve Jackson Games. All of the 'lost' Doctor Who episodes, plus six seasons of the 8th Doctor. (Also, five seasons of Star Trek: Phase II.)

Strangely, GRRM is still writing The Winds of Winter. Some things, it seems, are too impossible to exist even with infinite worlds to choose from.
