Corollary to this thread. What POD's haven't been explored (or explored well) which you would like to see a TL on?
One where the American revolutionary war is crushed, the founding fathers are hung like dogs and the British successfully ensure that the colonies never rebel again. I don't think that's been done. Could be interesting.
Or how about a pop culture Timeline where Star Wars never existed.
I feel like I saw something along those lines once upon that wasn't terrible. Let me see if I can find it....Aplausible and extended Vinland settlement

A TL where SA is explored in any way outside of the products of Europe. Not a TL about WWI or WWII spilling over to SA nor about Monroe doctrine being applied.
Another idea I'd love to see would be to see what if the Valois dynasty, rather than the Habsburgs, ascended the Spanish throne, forming a Franco-Spanish Personal Union in the 1500s. Such a state would undoubtably dominate Europe in a way that wouldn't have been seen in nearly a millennia. It would be fascinating to see a China like situation in Europe develop in the early modern era.
A nice Sub-Saharan Africa TL would be cool as well.

Possibly, although my original thought would be China like in the sense that it would be an imperial state that would for by and large by the premier power in Europe in the way that the other states, even if they coalition against it simply won't be able to match it pound for pound (especially since the Italian Wars would have France and Spain be on the other side, causing the peninsula to quickly and efficiently be integrated into the massive realm).Such a state would be an interesting little critter, indeed. How would it be China-like, though? You think this Gallohispania would develop a high-level equiulibrum trap of sorts?
I wouldn't mind some well-written Byzantine TLs that are set within the 650-1050 period. That area seems to be largely forgotten, although to be fair easily accessible and in English Byzantine historiography also comparatively neglects that period in favor of earlier or latter periods, as do the TLs on this board.
