The 1632 series is relatively unique in that fans are actively encouraged to contribute to the series though an online message board known as Baen's Bar . In fact, the entire Grantville Gazette and large portions of the Ring of Fire anthology, both of which are considered canonical, are fan-written(albeit edited by Flint), and have in fact directly contributed materiel to the main novels.
1632 was first published in New York by Baen Books in 2001 with ISBN 0671319728. The full text of the novel is available from the Baen Free Library (see below).
- Novel: '' 1632 '' (2000)

- --- includes material initiating the ''British Isles'' spinoff
- Anthology: '' Ring Of Fire '' (Jan. 2004)
- --- includes the ''The Wallenstein Gambit'' with Mike Spehar which begins the ''Eastern Europe'' spinoff
- --- Unlike most anthologies, this one is considered to be part of the official canon of the 1632 universe. Events which occur in the anthology have a direct impact on future books. Skipping the anthology creates gaps in the story line. The is particularly true in understanding the origins of the Navy in the second novel 1633.
- Novel: '''' (April 2004) with Andrew Dennis , begins the ''Italian-French'' spinoff
The Gazette is a semi-pro SF magazine featuring fan fiction and non-fiction edited by Eric Flint and a volunteer editorial board. It is also published by Baen. Initial publication is in electronic form at Webscription.net , but a mass market paper edition of the first issue was published as an experiment in November of 2004. The first printing sold out, and early results were good enough that the second issue is also slated for a paper edition in March 2006.
