It has generated a very large and fanatic fan base. Just check out 1632.org for a view at some of the research that has been done. Also the Grantville Gazette has been a great stepping stone for budding authors. They are up to volume 18 on the web (www.grantvillegazette.com via subscription). It provides room for all kinds of different story ideas from those interested in history, the art of war, genealogy, dog breeding and farming.
