Time Travel & Alternate History Links

This page contains a variety of links to mainly time travel and alternate history related pages. For links to specific books, movies etc. check out the various reviews at Andy's Anachronisms. I generally include links to relevant sites in all my reviews.

A L T E R N A T E H I S T O R Y

Uchronia -- The Alternate History List
The most thorough site concerning Alternate History I have seen. Unchronia includes a detailed bibliography of novels and short stories searchable by dates of diveregence or by country. Includes a large number of foreign authours and non-English publications.

Stephen's Alternate History Site
A good site for information related to Alternate History and links to other AH sites, articles and essays. Definitely worth a look.

T I M E T R A V E L

The Time Travel Institute
A fun site with some theories on how time travel might work. Check out their methodology section.

Made In Canada -- The Homepage for Canadian Science Fiction
A fellow Canadian and SF fan Don Bassie is the founder of this fantastic amateur site that is anything but. In addition to Doug's thorough cataloging of all things Canadian SF, he also has a great rapport with Canadian authors that has lead to many authors contributing guest editorials to the site.

SF Site -- The Homepage for Science Fiction and Fantasy
A very thorough site with monthly reviews of books and interviews with authors. Contains links to author and fan tribute sites as well listing of up and coming conventions.

Science Fiction Weekly
A weekly news and review site that features books, movies, video games, toys, anime and fan sites. Bought out by SciFi.com in late 1999, the site maintains its own presence.

C O N V E N T I O N S [Toronto and Area]

Toronto Trek is annual SF convention held in July. Don't let the name fool you Toronto Trek is anything BUT a convention dedicated to Star Trek. Mainly a media related convention but there is a decent literary content with a number of authors attending.

I sat on several time travel related panels a couple years ago and enjoyed the experience very much. Check out the above link for full details on the current convention details.

Ad Astra -- April 8-10, 2005
This is a fantastic SF&F literary convention held each spring in Toronto. Past guests have included Connie Willis, David Brin, Tanya Huff to name but a few. The 2005 guests have yet to be annouced. Please don't judge the convention based on their website which is hideous, out-of-date, and just unwieldly. The convention is much better organized than their website.
