Alternity (role-playing game)

Alternity was an AU Harry Potter fandom RP that ran from 2008 to 2015.

The original incarnation of Alternity, circa 1999, was a shared fanfiction universe. Some of the original authors included Slytherin Dragon, Tinderblast, and Colin, as well as Flourish (who spearheaded the revival); there were close to twenty collaborators. While it was prominent in early Harry Potter fandom, most of the original Project Alternity notes and stories have been subsequently lost to time and the internet. The basis of the universe, however, has remained the same. At the time, it was extremely difficult to collaborate on a project of such magnitude across time differences and distances. Since, various tools have made it easier to do so, and paved the way for the current incarnation of Alternity.

One of the key inspirations for this reboot of the Alternity universe is the influential LiveJournal roleplaying game Nocturne Alley. Some Alternity players took part in that game, as well as being active in its fan community. While not everything about Alternity is exactly the same as Nocturne Alley - its run has already been longer, for example, and its plots are much more defined - it is certainly part of our lineage.
