Harry says this collection contains his preferred version of "Eyewear" rather than the version that was in the hardcover edition. I don't know how that might affect our write up here.

Turtledove has said on Twitter that a number of his works have been optioned by various producers but nothing has ever come of it. I don't know why. I agree they would make fantastic movies/miniseries.
As Sam said to Rose: "Well, I'm back".
Miss me? Covid-19 led to job loss and library lock down. I haven't had any home internet for various reasons so I have been lock-out of this and elsewhere since March 13.
The TPL has opened up for some in person use so I now have limited access. I think I will have to reseach and get home access soon. Meantime I'm back. ~~~~
The problem with space opera is that there's not enough opera in it ...
Clearly forgot about this: The Fifth Element
Or perhaps one example in twenty plus years is not enough. ML4E (talk) 15:28, December 31, 2019 (UTC)

The lines: "What if the Holocaust had not occurred? Or what if it had succeeded beyond Hitler’s darkest dreams?" made me wonder if he would recycle the ItPoME short story. I doubt it, just a passing though.
Seeing he has reached three score and ten, getting interested in religious themes isn't that surprising. ML4E (talk) 18:00, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

There were follow-up suggestions in the twitter thread for Harry to write a spiritual sequel to Guns of the South where radical monarchists use time-travel to bring military aircraft for the British, hence the need for the Continental Army to seize airports. Harry declined the suggestion. ML4E (talk) 20:05, July 15, 2019 (UTC)

New Turtledove work, the July/August Asimov's has the short story "Speaker to Emos". ML4E (talk) 21:47, June 4, 2019 (UTC) https://twitter.com/HNTurtledove/status/1136019208901292032

Further to Talk: Ford's Theatre#Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Article, in addition to the elimination of the Lincoln and Booth sub-sections, I think the following should also be done:
Removal of the Hiroshima sub-section. This was not a time-viewing target, just a comparison for the K-T Extinction and Permian-Triassic. They may refer to the OTL main article equally well.
For the record: Talk: Charles Lindbergh#Lindbergh Jr. on why I think both should be kept rather than deleting the father.
Reason Talk: Evelyn Nesbit and Harry K. Thaw should remain but an article for "Stanford White" should not be created.
For the record, this Talk: Time-viewer#Delete or Not For Real is where we decided to keep all articles / sub-sections with time-viewer records rather than remove them to "Hist. Refs."
Much less than I expected but all in one place now. ML4E (talk) 22:58, May 24, 2019 (UTC)

Why is this message popping every time I click on a link? It used to do this only if I tried to leave a page I had edited and not saved. I'm finding this irritating and am wondering if there is a way to turn this off. I didn't see anything in "Preferences". Suggestions? ML4E (talk) 18:27, May 9, 2019 (UTC)

Turtledove sold a novelette to Analog SF, publication date sometime in 2020. Its called "Quest for the Great Gray Mossy", set in the "Bonehunters" intelligent dinosaurs universe (What dat? Idono.) For research, he reread Moby Dick. ML4E (talk) 20:30, March 1, 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion.

Another Asimov short story: "Speaker to Emos".

I recall a previous twitter discussion on HT's feed on the WWI Christmas Truce and what if it had lasted bringing the war to a halt. The notion was poo-pooed as improbable, since most officers at the front didn't like it and some put their men on report. Now that I think about it, I don't recall Turtledoves reaction to the idea.
