I'M BACK! :D
After an extremely long hiatus (Senior year of high school was way too busy) I am finally back to writing! I was trying to brainstorm another FH timeline, but I simply couldn't get any good ideas, so I decided to take the standard FH format and apply it to a real alternate...

The election between Democratic nominee Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George Bush ended up being an extremely close nail biter. Incumbent President Clinton was fairly popular because of how well he handled the economy, giving the federal government a rare...
Blomma, Alex Richards, and Plumber all impressed me very much, and after deliberations, I decided to go with Alex Richards simply because I thought his map was nicely detailed and that his backstory was really well fleshed out.
These two maps are just an idea that popped into my head the other day. The POD is that Alexander Hamilton never has an affair in his younger years, which leads him to being slightly more respected and eventually avoiding his duel with Burr. He ends up defeating Jefferson for the Presidency in...
One way that you can make some really nice graphics without having Photoshop is to download Inkscape. It is a pretty versatile tool and has a lot of the key things Illustrator has but has the benefit of being free. I have a tutorial on how to make graphics in Illustrator in the stickied...
