[Grantville Gazette 31] • Grantville Gazette, Volume 31

Kristine Kathryn Rusch talks about the way times have changed in our

time line in her column Notes From the Buffer Zone. Well, what about the

way times might have changed in the new time line of 1632?

Lots of differences, don't you think? There's the breakdown of

social barriers, as portrayed in James Copley's "Margarete's Rose."

Technology makes its mark in Jack Carroll's "Storm Signals." Something

as simple as an April Fool joke causes a bit of, er, irritation on the

part of one man in Iver P. Cooper's "Lion's Tower," not to mention the

changes brought about by the railroads, which you can read about in

Iver's "Stitching the Country Together."

Henneberg experiences a wrenching change in Virginia DeMarce's "The

Red Flage of Henneberg." Swiss Army knives? Maybe not so much. See

Kim Schoeffel's "Me Fecit Solingen Nicht" for what could happen there.

Papermaking has lots of potential for improvement, as in Terry Howard's

"The Future Is Where You Started."

And not all the things the up-timer's bring are good things. Check

out what's happening to the grapes and wine-making industry in Kerryn

Offord's "Rotkäppchen." Music we know will be affected, and Enrico Toro

and David Carrico demonstrate that in "Euterpe, Episode 4." Herb

Sakalaucks is back with the next episode of what might be going on in

the New World in "Northwest Passage, Part Six."

Now, back in our own timeline, what might go on in space sometime

in the future? Check out Jason K. Chapman's "The Long Fall" for one take

on that.
