I suppose I should have said I was taking a break from this site, but even I didn't realize when I left it would be for almost three months.

First and foremost a belated Merry Christmas to everyone in this thread. Honestly I'm looking forward to the point we start to see major butterflies in the wider world. Based off my prior interactions with your work you have a knack for creating interesting settings, and I can't help but be...

If memory serves a small part of what helped push the National Party over the top in 1948 was dropping breaking with the British Commonwealth from their platform. Keep that in and have a few missteps made by National Party candidates in closer races and it is possible the United Party can eek...

A rare photo of one of the countless football games played between American and Confederate troops during the 1914 Christmas truce. The location is unknown, but due to the flat topography present and the lack of visible trench lines it has long been assumed to be from the front in Sequoyah.

If memory serves (it has been awhile since I read the book) Newspeak was meant for the inner and outer party while the proles were left with whatever language their neck of the woods started out with plus a few Newspeak words like doubleplusgood. So when the big three come crashing down...

No odd ball or retro-future scenario out of me this time, but instead a few patches I have of various parts of the US grafted onto Asia with rivers and something approaching a proper longitudinal slant.... (I have zero clue how any of these would affect the environment. I'm guessing...

Old radio shows have the nice perk of you can stretch out on the couch and close your eyes without missing a thing (unless you fall asleep).

There was also a 1941 sequel to this proposal/book entitled Union Now With Britain. Had the same goal, but on a smaller scale.

Well both map look interesting. Do they countries they depict have a history to match?

A twisted little idea that has been beating around in my head for a number of months.... ***** It is sometime in a near forgotten epoch of history when humanity had attained the technological heights we associate with the 1950’s, and the world shudders on the brink of destruction. In a...

In all of our defense though Jenny's original planning thread means we all have a little more to work with for this story than we would for other timelines fresh out of the gate.

Glad to see someone like the little train. Thank you. Given that almost all of the character fiction I've posted on this site has been for Fallout and spin offs of it I'm not surprised.

If you look at it to closely it probably falls apart, but I had fun.... ***** June 8th 1865. San Francisco California (acting capital), United States of America. “Dad,” Joe Cartwright said as he grasped his father on the shoulder and, with a firm shake, attempted to roust the...

Soviet Railroading seems to have taken a hit..... Though we don't seem to be doing much better stateside....

Come to think of it, it will be interesting to see what each nation's Demonym becomes. I imagine both will start out as Americans, but I get the feeling one, if not both, will change overtime so they can differentiate themselves from their northern/southern neighbor.
