  1. AHC: Wild East

    I recently watched a series of movies about the recent history of the USSR/Russia. Then I got into details about the particularities of the 1990's as they were lived in Russia, both from the perpective of the emergence of a new culture, and that of utter political, economic and social chaos, and...

  2. La Guerra que Nunca Fue: an AH vignette

    ONEIRONAUT Literary gazette of epic sorcery and science fiction Vol. LIV. July-December 1993. Editorial Akasha. Barcelona. The war that never was: a parahistorical antology. By Xavier Pons. “On this day, the last remnants of the Fascist conspiracy against Spain have surrendered...

  3. Yo me bajo en Atocha: a Spanish political TLIAD

    So… what is this about? Come on, do I really have to do the Q&A thing? Excuse me, but I’m the one making the questions here. Okay. Please, don’t hurt me. I can’t. It’s you who’s typing both parts of the dialogue. It cannot be… All the ways you wish you could be, that’s me...

  4. AHC/Brainstorming: Soviet videogame industry.

    What the title says, but just to clear things up a bit: I'm not actually interested about how the USSR could have developed a wide videogame industry. I start from the premise that it did. The setting is an old one of mine: PoD is in the early 70's, the Cold War is still on (only the Eastern...

  5. Plausibility Check: Kennedy VS Reagan 1980 election map.

    Someday I might draw a clean version of this map, but I want to discard blatantly implausible elments. A little help from the American members would be much appreciated. The basic idea is that Gerald Ford wins in 1976, and Ted Kennedy runs for president against Reagan in 1980. I'm mainly...

  6. The Ninth Crusade (my first TL)

    “Whatever the circumstances that may arise, wherever I am, there will be no Communism” -Francisco Franco Bahamonde, Caudillo of Spain by the grace of God. October the 6th, 1967. Conscript Miguel Angel Ramirez was feeling alien to himself, totally focused in his own qualia, trying to isolate...

  7. Spanish Diglossia

    Reflecting about the Arab people and the way they relate with Arabic language, I came up with this question: Is there any possible set of circumstances that could have led to a similar diglossia within the Spanish speaking world? By that I strictly mean a situation in which, for exaple, an...

  8. Plausibility check: No Deutsche Einheit

    I would like to know your thoughts about this scenario: Would it be possible, preferably with a 1990 POD, that the German Democratic Republic still goes democratic, and the Berlin Wall is still tore down, but somehow the two-plus-four-agreement fails or doesn't take place, and East Germany...

  9. DBWI: A more "theocratic" United States.

    I'm working in a scenario in which the United States, while still being a democracy (I'm looking for a realistic, mirroring US), has some theocractic elements unthinkable in a well-functioning Western democracy. By "theocratic" I mean: -Some church holding a very important degree of political...

  10. Virtual Reality

    When I was a child, my father (as a lot of people then) believed that, by the late 00's, most of the videogame industry would be VR based. Obviously, that never happened. With a post-1990 POD, could that prediction have turned out to be true?

  11. Alternate English Revolutions

    Studying John Locke's work and historical context in the university, I've come up with the following questions: -Could have been some way for Gerrard Winstanley's Digger Movement, to make a succesful revolution? -Could the same have happened with John Milton's republican model?

  12. AH Challenge: Ten commandments, Seven cardinal sins.

    Well, maybe it sounds silly, but I'm very interested with this idea since I had it. The challenge is: With a POD after 476 CE, make from the 17th century onwards, at least a consolidated and lasting country whose legal code is only based in the ten commandments and the seven cardinal sins...

  13. United Arab Jamahiriya

    Could Muammar al-Gaddafi had led somehow to a successful and massive UAR-esque pan-arab nation? If the answer is yes, how?
