  1. Tarpit Carnivore

    Anyone interested in doing a "Caveman Movie" style collaborative timeline? Nothing flat out ASB like dinosaurs but too detailed to really be historical fiction. I'm thinking the POD could be around 43,000 years BCE. That coincides with the discovery of fossils in areas like Italy and France of...

  2. The Window: A Collaborative ATL

    Alright guys, it's been awhile since we had something great like "50 years." Here's the first event to kick things off. In our world, there was an assassination attempt. But it failed because Oswald missed his shot and hit the window frame. Hence the title of the timeline.

  3. Bloody Bunnies: A Collaborative ATL

    I'm personally a huge fan of the short story "Bloody Bunnies" by Bradley Denton. Most sources put the POD for that one at 1984. However, the range of changes seem to imply things went differently earlier than that. The story mentioned President Geraldine Ferraro, the crippling of the video game...

  4. Fear Itself (1934-2014): Collaborative Timeline

    Most PODS taken from Straha's disowned For All Strange Days adaptation. I felt like it could actually provide a decent blueprint, outrageous as he felt it was. The goal of this was really to create a refreshing take on the old "Nazis win/survive" premise. So that's really the only rule here...

  5. 21: 1992-2013 (A Collaborative Timeline)

    A collaborative timeline based on the 1990s Dystopia thread. Basically, the premise is that the George H.W. Bush Vomiting Incident had been a sign of something far more serious. So on January 8th, 1992 a very overwhelmed J. Danforth Quayle assumes the Presidency after his predecessor's abrupt...

  6. Elvis World Challenge

    Inspired by a certain episode of Sliders. Get a world where: * JFK is President in 1995. * "Global cooling" is rampant. * Americans flock to Mexico for jobs. * Red means go, Green means stop. * Elvis is still alive and performing in 1995. * Vinyl beats out CDs by the 1990s, instead of the...

  7. Rabbit Stew (1979-2012): A Collaborative Timeline)

    May 5, 1979: President Jimmy Carter is shot and killed by Raymond Lee Harvey at the Civic Center Mall in Los Angeles. Raymond subsequently claims to have been involved in a four-man operation but given his history of mental illness and sparse information available this is difficult to...

  8. Recast! Alternate Movies (Collaborative Timeline)

    A group project/challenge based on Sean Harterr's own alternate movie posters. The rules are simple: After settling on a POD, develop a detailed timeline where as many of the following movies were released as possible. Bonus points if television, radio shows, music, books and/or other art forms...

  9. Hard Election Challenge: Democratic Sweep in 1984

    Inspired by Douglas' thread: With a POD no earlier than March 31, 1981 have the Democratic Party sweep the 1984 elections. The Democratic candidate for President must win in the Electoral College.

  10. DBWI: No Nixon Presidency

    How would the world look like today if he had stuck to selling steam cars? Obviously things would be quite different for the North American Colonies. I suspect that we wouldn't be talking about further devolution...

  11. Yellowstone Caldera Erupts in 1918

    Suppose that Yellowstone's Supervolcano erupts in December 14th, 1918. The volcano collapses before it can release it's maximum capacity of 25,000 cubic kilometers worth of magma. This is still enough to cause massive volcanic winter and cover three quarters of the United States in nearly one...

  12. Marvel Tangent

    Tangent Comics was a DC Comics imprint created in 1997-1998, developed from ideas created by Dan Jurgens. The line, formed from various one-shots, focused on creating all-new characters using established DC names, such as the Joker, Batman, and the Flash. But what if Marvel had a similar universe?

  13. A different FaT scenario..

    In OTL, John N. Garner chose not to be FDR's running mate partially because he disagreed with his attempts to pack the Supreme Court (as well as his decision to run for a 3rd term). But suppose he had decided to remain VP, and this inadvertently lead to him becoming President in December, 20th...

  14. AH: LSD makes a comeback

    Suppose LSD makes a comeback starting in 1996, for whatever reasons. It's use suddenly begins to skyrocket and it's use reaches levels that Ecstasy or Methamphatamines have acheived today. What might American Culture Politics, Pop Culture, etc. be like today?

  15. DBWI: Liberal 60's-70's, Conservative 80's

    We all know that the 1980's were considered the Left's 'Silver Age' in the United States. They were after all the decade where Geraldine Ferraro (the "Iron Lady") was elected President and when major reforms to Healthcare, Public Education, Social Security, etc. were made. Aside from continuing...

  16. George Reeve doesn't die

    Suppose George Reeves hadn't died in 1959. What would the consequences of him living be for American pop culture (besides him starring in Psycho).

  17. Memories Surging Through The Veins

    Suppose that sometime in the near future, a new drug was developed. This substance allows the user to re-experience memories selectively (i.e. if you want to remember something in particular, you will experience it as though it is happening in the present). It is adminstered through the...

  18. DBWI Red Germany didn't reform it's economy

    Suppose Communist Germany hadn't begun reforming its economy in the late 1960's to better compete with the other powers. What would the consequences of a truly Communist Germany be? Would the American Pact be the sole superpower today (or would they share that status with White Russia or some...

  19. Blaine in 1884

    In OTL, the election between Grover Cleveland and James G. Blaine was fairly close. His loss is partially blamed on the withdrawal of support for his campaign by Roman Catholics, in response to perceived anti-Catholic sentiment (e.g. the Blaine Amendments). Suppose however, that Blaine had...

  20. WI: No 17th Amendment

    Suppose for whatever reasons, that the 17th Amendment was not passed, or else struck down by the courts. Consequently, Senators aren't elected by the people. What are the effects on history? My apologies if this has been done before.
