  1. Carpenter's Hammer: When Karen went Punk. A Hensonverse TLIAW
    Threadmarks: Chpt I: We've Only Just Begun

    [Fade In] Haunting orchestral music plays faintly over a field of black. One by one video clips fly onto the screen, take precedence up front, then fall into the background, each sequentially taking a random spot on the screen, top, bottom, left, or right, stretched out towards the back, slowly...

  2. AHQ: President Hooker's successors

    So, after an utterly humiliating loss to the CSA and their UK & French allies (peace with secession in 1863), Lincoln resigning in shame, General Hooker rides a wave of populist anger to the White House in 1864 and promptly (coopting the existing Democratic and some Republican Machines) cements...

  3. AHQ: Who is Lincoln's successor if not Grant?

    Assuming that Lincoln escapes assassination (say Booth gets ratted out by a co-conspirator) and assuming that for whatever reason Grant decides to stay out of politics (bad relapse?), who would Lincoln's most likely successor(s) be in the Republican party? Blaine? Colfax? Wade? Allison? Sherman...

  4. ACW WI: Sherman supports the Tennessee Bridge Burners, Nov. 1861

    In the late summer/early fall of 1861 the Lincoln Administration made a deal with Joshua Sill and other East TN Unionists to launch an invasion of East TN via the Cumberland Gap in November of 1861. Gen. McClellan fully supported the effort as a distraction for his plans in Virginia. The TN...

  8. The World of Mañana! An open collaborative TL/Setting/Story project.

    Monaco, Tuesday, March 07, 2000, Last Day of Carnival He swims through the crowd like a shark, slipping between the flowing bodies and riding the currents of the revellers' drunken shoves. Loud laughs and screams share the air with joyous music in a caccophany of horns and whistles. Faces are...

  9. Plausibility Check: Venecian Veneto in the HRE

    A collaborative TL I'm working on sees Mamluk Egypt break free from the Ottomans in the early 17th C., dig a Nile-Red Sea canal, and eventually open itself up as a neutral trade crossroads. One effect has been Venice going rather their own way away from the Iberian powers and in doing so...

  11. Is it Possible: Allied Amphib Invasion of Romania?

    Ok, I got this weird thought in my head this morning. Assuming a) Neutral/Nonbelligerent Italy and b) benevolent neutral Turkey could or even would the Wallies attempt an amphibious invasion of Romania in, say, '42/'43? The strategic opportunity to seize the oil and hinder German efforts in...

  13. Music WI: The "Caribbean Invasion"

    I recently acquired a compilation CD of old Calypso music from the 50's/60's and found something interesting in the liner notes: for a brief period in the late 50's/early 60's Trinidadian Calypso music and other Island sounds were all the rage in the States. Harry Belefonte, the only name still...

  15. Leaves in the Wind: a Nano-TL

    The winds of fate blow randomly, as much in the literal sense as the poetic. Certainly we will never know what random climatological event caused the Great Divide which led to the fall of so ancient and historical of a nation. What butterfly's ill-timed flap of wing? What unfortunate Bantu...

  16. Manhattan Project without Fermi

    Question for you nuke-heads out there: how critical is Enrico Fermi to the success of the Manhattan Project? I know it was his successful atomic pile in 42 that proved its validity. Could the other US scientists reach that goal in similar time? If not, how far is it, and Manhattan, delayed? Past...

  17. DBWI: Hanson went Pop?

    As we approach the 10th anniversary of Hanson, the band that redefined Heavy Metal and Hard Rock for a new generation, I thought I'd post this little doozy of a revelation: Back in the early 90's when they were still kids they had an a capella thing going, doing Jackson 5 covers, and shit. They...

  20. WI: Indian Ocean Hegemonic Maritime Empire?

    I'm absolutely no expert in this area, but I've always wondered, knowing about OTL's wide-ranging Indian Ocean trade network, if some Athens or Carthage-like maritime economic hegemonic power could arise along the Indian Ocean? I'm imagining a naval power with a signifigant advantage in naval...
