Founded by Alex Shalenko, [[http://counter-factual.net/upload/ Counter-Factual.Net]] is an online discussion forum specialising in counterfactual history, which is an [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness erudite]] way of describing AlternateHistory. Whilst this is nominally its chief focus, the site also enjoys a thriving SpeculativeFiction community (primarily sci-fi).

As the site is largely composed of self-described [[StartMyOwn immigrants and refugees]] from its larger, estranged cousin, Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom, there are the expected jibes about their being everything from [[WorthyOpponent Worthy Opponents]] to outright [[ArchEnemy Arch Enemies]]. CF.Net, as its inhabitants affectionately refer to it, is seen as the [[TheMoralSubstitute smaller, closer-knit alternative]] to the behemoth that is AH.Com. In contrast to the urbane and dominantly left-leaning AH.Com, CF.Net is at first glance more moderate and/or conservative and to this end define themselves in opposition to the opinions of the other site.

The site hosts many original works of varying states of progress, as well as stories from AH.Com posted by their original authors.
