Inspired by this entry in the AH Title Game.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a scenario where Russia & China enter a duel monarchy (like Austria-Hungary) with each other.
POD has to be sometime... during or after the time of Ivan the Terrible.
A TL where Mexico retained control of California & became a puppet of France in 19th century. In 20th century France fights a war with German Empire. German immigrants from USA choose to fight for their birthland, forming guerrilla units to fight French troops in Mexico. "Kalifornien Über Alles"...
Not an insurmountable problem -- Thatcher was opposed to it and IIRC several other leaders were too. Just have the Iron Lady & co. stricke a deal with Gorbachov and say "Nuh-uh!" to German reunification.
A steampunk tale in late 1800s where William R. Grace becomes an air pirate and leads an Irish-Catholic dirigible armoda in battle against both the Dominion of Canada and the Protestant-supremacist USA. The story seemingly drew inspiration from novels like Moorcock's The Warlord of the Air &...
Let the Titans rule!
A TL about the ATL 2020 US presidential presidential in a world where Ross Perot became the US president in 1996 and broke the back of the 2-party system. The title of the TL comes from the slogan of the American Reformist Objectivist Party (the slogan itself being a...
Strange Times (also known as "Well, I screwed it up real good, didn't I?" after the 1st line of the story uttered by the Canadian PM) tells a tale set in 2032 where USA & Canada have been playing a game of Brinksmanship in the Artic over competing Arctic claims. Things go too far when a Canadian...
This is demonstratably false. Emperor Norton explicitly said multiple times that ASB descriptions are allowed. There was also never a moratorium on specifying an "an era, place, person, etc".
Now please, let E.N. speak for himself.
So are you upset because the title invoked a video game and you hold a hilarious belife that video games are "too nitch"? Are you upset that the title invokes ASBs (which would also disqualify most of Barb's titles)? Or are you upset because the title is "too hard to reply to" (which would again...
So Barb is allowed to make titles about lesbian queens & widespread nudism yet you flip a table over a title making a reference to a video game? Yeah, that makes sence :rolleyes:
That... seems rather arbitrary. "Book parodies are allowed but video games are not because vediogames are too nitch". :rolleyes:
Second part of "Nudity is the New Black" TL. After retiering from movies for good, Jack Black starts a career as a fashon designer. His brands spread far and wide...
An ASB TL about WW1 in a world where humans exist next to various cryptids like Yeti's & other "forest man". The story features things like the Red Baron vs Jersey Devils, Mexican chupacabras performing guerrilla attacks inside USA (Mexico enters the war on side of Germsny in this TL), Tsarist...
Not sure about hippies, but OTL there are explicitly anti-racist & anti-fascist skinhead movements:
