  1. WI no Fantastic Renaissance?

    In the mid century, many literary scholars argued that children did not need fantasy stories, that children should be reading realistic fiction instead. There were some who opposed it, even argued it in journals. Most notably, it was CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien who championed children's fantasy...

  2. DBWI the rebels won at Bull Run

    In the first southern rebellion, the federals scored a decisive victory at Bull Run and were able to occupy Richmond. The "Rape of Richmond" is a touchy subject, so let's leave politics out of this. I am wondering what would have happened if the rebels won at Bull Run, would they be able to go...

  3. The Founding of Huronia, A thought project

    My goals for this challenge is to create an independent native state in North America, this is a more daunting task than it first seems. First off, there are several jumping off points where I can start, arranged from oldest to newest they are: 1628 - The start of the Huron-Iroqouis war. I feel...

  4. Most unlikely OTL and ATL wars/combatants part II

    First thread was locked due to inactivity. I thought this is too interesting of a concept to pass up part I

  5. WI Haakon I of Norway maintained his beliefs and was martyred?

    Would he be canonized for his efforts? What would that mean for the future of religion in the area? I would assume that England would have tried to put some sanction on Norway as Haakon was trained in the English courts and was supposed to be sympathetic to them. Would it make Harald...

  6. AHC: Paint the whole world red

    With a POD any time after the publishing of the communist manifesto, create worldwide communism. (less a few small holdouts to make things interesting.)

  7. WI Fredrick III's reign was longer?

    IOTL he was only the emperor of Germany for 99 days, but I see a bit of promise. With both Fredrick and Princess Victoria being very liberal for their time, I could Europe developing differently, and maybe even stronger relationships between Germany and England in the beginning of the 20th...

  8. WI the Light Brigade charged the other set of guns?

    What if the order was interpreted correctly at Balaclava and the Brigade charged the guns on the hilltop rather than the ones at the other side of the valley?

  9. Alternate film/tv castings

    I am compiling a list of alternate film casts. I would love some help, we will start with people actually considered for roles, then we will work our way out from there. We will also begin by massacring butterflies when it comes to plots or sequels, then we will adjust based on actor...

  10. Rome Sweet Rome

    Has anyone read it? What do you guys think of that TL. It is a pretty good ISOT, really in depth. It is a shame that Warner Brothers put a hush order on it. Edit: I still don't get the difference of this and the writer's forum, which is better for this?

  11. WI no vision of Jeanne D'arc, Orleans falls

    What if Joan of arc did not receive her vision and take up the cause against the English? Orleans falls and the Dauphin is put to the sword. What would be the immediate consequences of English France? What would be the long term possibilities? Would we see an independent Burgundy, or would it...

  12. WI the spanish flu didn't disappear

    The Spanish Flu killed and infected untold thousands during 1918, it was largely ignored due to the war both in reporting and research. But as suddenly as it arrived, it disappeared. What if the flu did not disappear, and continued to infect and kill? how many more would it kill, what would it...

  13. A Tale of Intrigue -- a TL

    A Soviet Union in the late nineteenth century? A royal union of Prussia and England? France helping to liberate Ireland from the British? Prussia fighting a socialist revolution? A France that is ruled by the king of Italy? New time line coming soon, stay tuned for a new tale of intrigue!

  14. WI The confederates were recognised by foreign governments?

    What would change if European governments recognized the CSA as a country and started diplomatic missions in Richmond? There are three candidates: Great Britain and France appearently nearly did so in the early parts of the war, Spain was a silent supporter of the rebels.

  15. Consequences of a partial victory at Normandy

    Many of the WI's here are in absolutes, asking what if there was a total repulsion or if it wasn't attempted at all. I am wondering what would become of a partial repulsion where the allies were able to establish a beachhead on some of the beaches but were repulsed on others. I would ask for...

  16. Mary Queen of Brits?

    During a plague outbreak in England, Princess Elizabeth passes away. (There is the OTL belief that she actually did and the people who were in charge of her tried to replace her and the only person they could find with the distinctive red hair was a small boy. Which would explain the...

  17. What if Queen Elizabeth I married King Philip II of spain and had issue?

    Just like what it says on the tin, would it be the death of Anglicanism? Would there be a violent unification of Scotland and England? What would the repercussions be?

  20. 1066 - A multi-pronged WI

    There are several WIs that come up from the entire claimant crisis in England. Stamford Bridge Hardrada wins, Harold dies in battle, and the people accept the new ruler Hardrada wins, Harold escapes (would he be able to fight again?) Hardrada wins, Harold is executed and is seen as a martyr...
