Have you read Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception"? I'd highly recommend it. I could see a similar book written ITTL, maybe by Aldous Huxley himself, if not by an earlier Hunter S. Thompson (although I can't think of a 1920s/1930s journalist or writer to fill that role, unfortunately)...

If it's not long and it's a break from 20th century Britain, then I assume it's the Caesariad and not 1910?

I'm so happy.

Legacy, Part I *** “I think it’s time for the people of this country to come to terms with the fact that they elected Archie Bunker President” Civil Rights Leader and NY Senator Jesse Jackson, 1984 The Legacy of President John Wayne is a complicated and controversial one, often...

If I remember correctly, a popular speculation was that this could bring War with Germany, or at least such a possibility was brought up in scenarios like this on,Although that's obviously not what going to happen here, at least for the moment. Well, it's too late to place a giant statue of...

How's the novel coming along?

A bit too convergent and on the nose, but a great reference nevertheless.:D As always, an amusing read. Makes on wonder what the future of the movie business will be.

No America, no British Empire, no Romans and no Byzantines. It's basically a death zone.

Please try to behave and play nice.

I like that you're taking your time to shape up Boulangerism and explain it rather than just jumping to the next Franco-German War or colonial adventure or whatever (or worse, start putting dissidents in internment camps and having the Boulangerist Guard use armbands.) This TL is developing at a...

I'm glad this chapter has gotten such a reaction. 1. Fear not, I don't intend this to be an Ainu wank. National Unification is one thing, but Independence in this context means "not part of Japan." I'm trying to give the Ainu a role and not have the future Ainu "nation" as a puppet entity...

A. There will be a continued Spanish and Catholic presence in Ainu lands, but it won't become the main religion; B. Indeed. Anyhow, here's a better map of the IOTL Shakushain War.

And now, what's probably one of the only uses of the Ainu in this site, and quite possibly the only scenario in which they do better. *** Shakushain Many factors contributed to the development and conclusion of the Shakushain Rebellion of 1667. Had it not been for the Matsumae...

Fear the Revenge of Yuan Chonghuan! Who's laughing now, Emperor Chongzhen? :eek:

This has proven to be a good read thus far, even if it hasn't progressed a lot thus far. In any case, it's good to see a TL dealing with Boulanger and the consequences of him taking over in France. It was a good sideshow in Fight and be Right, but here it's the main attraction, and thus a bit...

So, this means that Coolidge does not support Hoover in 1928, ergo, someone else is the Republican Presidential Nominee in 1928 and possibly President between 1929 and 1933.

Exciting things are happening! :p Good job on the foreshadowing and painting a picture of the shape of things to come. I didn't expect to see Harding make it out of 1923 just to die in 1924 after the convention. It was a small twist, but it really did surprise me. I'm not entirely sure why...

Exciting things are happening. Love the way in which you make the 1980s interesting and get rid of iconic right wing figures. Will you be aiming for Helmut Kohl as well in version 2.0? :p

I hope this update is easy enough to follow. It might seem confused and rushed and parts, but it will hopefully be entertaining enough as it is. I'm currently re-examining the TL and considering rewriting some parts due to plot-holes, poor writing or whatever, so bear with me here. ***...

I like the way things are going with this second version. I can't say if it's better or worse than the last one, since I barely remember the first chapters of the last one, but I'll be doing my best to keep up. :p
