Whats this, another TLIAD? Yup. But you only did one recently! I know. That when well enough but are you sure you want to do this now? There seems to be a bit of market saturation. Yes, I'm even rolling with the card puns. WHY This isn't just OTL PMs in a different order...

Whats this? Ah, we're choosing to be polite today, are we? I'm reserving judgement. Well, since you asked so nicely, this is an idea which has been rumbling around my brain for a while. And I've been inspired by the recent outbursts of TLIADs, all of which are excellent from what I've seen, I...

'Now see here, John, this opportunity opens enormous possibilities for the Kindred!' argued Leslie Paul, his eyes flashing with passion. John Hargrave watched his acolyte dispassionately. 'I tell you, I won't have this movement politicised and certainly not by MacDonald's Reds. Between your...

One of my flatmates purely coincidentally is also a fan of AH and is writing his own TL, albeit not on this site. It began as background for a story he wanted to write but got out of hand. Hes not a big fan of the butterfly effect, preferring to keep his TLs more convergent with OTL. The basic...

Oh no What? Just stop. Just because they liked the last one doesn't mean they'll like this. And wheres the guarantee you'll actually finish it. My last one was great. You loved it! I actually finished it in 24 hours. It was based on the Beano. It wasn't hard. Yeah, I guess this one is a...

Well, I'm not even sure this is a good idea. I'm not too good at finishing TLs that I've started, even TLIADs. I'm better at making a colourful map. But reading LTTW (even though I'm still only on Thread I) has inspired me. Inspired me to do what? Only resurrect pretty much my first proper TL...

I told you I know I told you I KNOW So why, in god's name are you doing it again? Because I can No you can't. You'll get distracted We'll see

This won't end well. Well aren't you a beam of sunshine. No seriously. You never manage to finish these in 24 hours. Might work this time. Besides, its all part of the fun! Oh Gods. And whats with the title? Oh its just a little joke. When people see what the POD is, they'll...

Simple as. Is it at all possible that Germany could be united under Switzerland as something approaching a loose-ish Confederation or any form that you wish.

Blood of Kent, by Harold Middlemore (University of Maidstone, 1972) Of course, the seeds of victory for the peasants was laid not in London, or even later in Warwickshire, but in Kent. And the man who truly turned the peasants from a rabble of angry farmers primarily concerned with their taxes...

I'm working on the family farm until Friday, but I should be able to squeeze in an update a day. John Major both saved and doomed his party in 1991. Riding high on a 'honeymoon' of optimism, and with a Falklands effect from the Gulf War, he called an election January 1991, and managed to win...

I know, I know. I've got about four TLs on the go, at the moment now. And its not like I update them regularly. But when an idea seizes you, there is little you can do about it. And so I succumb, and put fingers to keys and set about writing an American Civil War TL. But this one is a tad...

I'm thinking of writing a story set in the Fens, which is on my doorstep. I have an idea sketched out in my head, but the premise is that the Fens were never drained, and so a pocket of wilderness exists in England where strange things happen, and all manner of unsavoury figures cloister in its...

Damn. I meant to update my thread. Not start a new one.

How plausible is the idea of Da Vinci's ideas and inventions being put into practice? I'm writing a TL around the time of OTL's Thirty Years War and I foolishly watched the Three Musketeers (2011) and now I want something of Da Vinci's to actually be put into practice.

1911 Jasper Morrison swept through the great city's streets in his carriage, eager to reach his destination. The spokes of his vehicle crashed over cobblestones and spattered through the muck, his driver giving no heed to those in its path. But the people who milled in the streets knew to get...

[POD] The plague in London dies out by about late June, meaning that the date for the State Opening of Parliament stays as 3rd October 1605. Guy Fawkes surveyed his handiwork, and adjusted some faggots of wood so as to properly conceal the barrels beneath. With Parliament due to assemble for...

I've been thinking about the Luddites recently, and they came not long the Revolutionary Wars, in a time where unemployment was rife. Is it possible that the Luddites could have carried out a successful revolution and established some form of agrarian republic?

I've browsed the synopsis of the book on wikipedia and it certainly seems a compelling scenario. I put it to you noble people, can we rationalise this scenario. There are a few things I'm going to say now cannot be changed. America will remain the Soviet Union analogue. How far you want to go...

Interesting idea popped into my head. In a world where slavery remains widespread, most likely through debt bondage or similar deals, it might be possible for the stock market to play the value of slaves on the futures exchange. So what would have to happen for things to get like that?
