So, you've finally decided to actually publish a TL.
Yup. I have plenty of free time at the moment. Great time management skills, not so much... say, who are you, anyway? Are you, like, that weird interview person from Sleeping Giants? Are you my conscience?
If I was your conscience, you'd be a better writer. Anyway, what is this?
So, I was having one of those moments where I was thinking completely random thoughts, and one of those thoughts was, "What if Alexander Haig was actually committing a coup in 1981?"
...That's the kind of stuff you just think of randomly?
Don't judge me. Anyway, I whipped up a quick wikibox for it, and it got a good response. A couple of people even asked me for more content. So I made some, posted that, and got an even bigger response. Thank you, BTW, to all those who read, liked, and commented on my original posts. It really does mean a lot.
So you're putting it all in Post-1900?
Basically, yeah.
Al Haig actually pulling off a coup... this sounds completely ASB.
Oh, it is. I acknowledge the silliness of the premise. But goddamn was it fun to play around with.
That title... is this a TLIAD, or a TLIAPOT?
I'd like to have everything posted by the end of Thursday, but my aforementioned time management skills being what they are, I might be doing this over several days. So this is basically a disclaimer. Oh, and I give full credit to Gonzo for, IIRC, coming up with the concept of a TLIAPOT.
Yeah, you should probably do that.
Anyway, we begin posting in five minutes.
What?!
I see what you did there.
