The Waterworld Project I am looking for a couple of people interested in a global warming / flooding the world scenarios. Using information from this website we are going to try and create the most realistic alternate history or future history that could result in a drastic flooding in the...

I consider myself, like a few others, to have a strange desire to create a believable alternate history that involves the melting of the icecaps and the maximum flooding of the world. Before I resort to changing the Earth's orbital path or invoking a volcano, I present something else. Is it...

Working on my future history (semi-dystopia), I was wondering how I could get Canada to collapse in a horrible Civil War by approx. 2018. No POD, this is a future history, so everything that is currently happening in the world is legit. So how do you think it would happen? Here are my...

Here is an awesome idea that I would like to see worked out. What if Luna had nearly the same composition of the Earth? Some fluke in the Big Bang provided enough elements so that when the Moon was formed in the Epoch of Planetesimals, it recieved much of the same elements as the Earth. Lets...

Wow, I never knew there was a whole community devoted to alternate history. I just discovered this particular sub-genre of speculative fiction after reading such works like Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus and The Tales of Alvin Maker. Well, I am intrigued, and set out to make...
