  2. Nemesis: A Monster Movie Script

    Hi-diddly-ho. Here's the first part of a script for what I imagine to be an American version of Godzilla - as in a story where a creature created by the atomic bomb comes to haunt America rather than Japan. I thought presenting it as a film script might be an interesting alternate way of doing...

  3. Falklands War - UK vs Brazil

    Let us say that the dispute over the Falkland Islands had taken a different turn. In this world, de facto control of the islands initially belonged to Portugal until Brazil broke away from the Portuguese Empire in 1822. Brazil briefly occupied the islands before abandoning them - Britain...

  4. Call of Duty 4: Future Warfare

    Hello. When it came out, Call of Duty 4 revolutionised the FPS genre by kickstarting a trend from World War 2 shooters to modern warfare. But what if the good folks at Infinity Ward had gone further? A few hundred years further, maybe, as they eventually would in 2016's Infinite Warfare? Here's...

  5. CBS 1971 - Divine Mandate of Russia Proclaimed

    Here is a video released today which both provides some alternate history and also demonstrates just what levels of madness AI is now capable of when it comes to creating fictional videos and images.

  6. Call of Duty: Eternal

    Hello. I'd like you to imagine that, in 2017, Activision did not publish Call of Duty: WWII but instead Call of Duty: Eternal. This is a story which is very much the same as what Call of Duty: WWII transpired as but with a couple of significant differences. For a start, it's not set during...

  7. Northumbria Meteor of 2013 (Oneshot)

    Anyway, given I've started putting together a story about the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor if it was way, way, way worse, here's a quick thing I put together in which the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor is exactly the same except it arrives a few hours later - and strikes Northern England instead. This is...

  8. Sweet Oblivion: A War of the Worlds Story

    Hi all, I've just released SWEET OBLIVION: A WAR OF THE WORLDS STORY, which is now available on Amazon (links below), and thought/hoped y'all would be interested. I've been working on it since September 2021 - essentially it's a re-telling of the original story but with the action shifted from...

  11. It'll Come Home, One Day: An Alternate England National Football Team History

    1. “We really shouldn’t have been there,” laughed David Platt, wistfully. “We really, really shouldn’t have been there.” His words, recorded for a BBC documentary in 2003, accurately surmise the attitudes of many Englishmen in the summer of 1994. As their national football team boarded a...

  12. "We Won - So, What Now?": Selected Stories from World War Two and Its Aftermath
    Threadmarks: 1.

    1. “The Queen will attend a service at Westminster Abbey next month, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Victory Day. The anniversary on 10 March marks 70 years since the end of World War II. The service will be held on 10 March, the last of three days of events. There will also be a...

  13. Were Thou The Unicorn - A Footballing Story

    1. It is late in the evening of September 6, 2002 and, in London’s West End, the phone is ringing. The marvellous art nouveau Old Shield House on Great Queen Street, home for over a century to the Football Association, still has leaks in the ceiling from Storm Anna when chairman Sir James...

  14. WI: UK Brings In PR in 1970s

    Suppose the Lib-Lab pact of 1977 had instead been a deeper, more secure agreement in which the Liberals managed to achieve coalition government with Callaghan's Labour. As one of their non-negotiables, they insist on a vote to implement PR for general elections. Callaghan talks it down to a...

  15. It Came Home: England 2018

    Hello, here's something fun that I put together over the last couple of days. It's an alternate version of the 2018 World Cup if England had been successful in its bid to host the tournament. All of the results have been simulated, not pre-determined by me, usually by taking each participant's...

  16. Great Britain national football team

    Early in his premiership, Tony Blair wanted to create a GB-wide national football team. Wisely, he did not try this. But if he had, I pose two questions. 1. Obviously, he would have failed. But how would this failure have looked? How far might the efforts to put it together actually gone? 2...

  17. James II & VII Never Has A Son

    James II of England's having of a son was a substantial cause of the Glorious Revolution, as it meant the throne would no longer pass to his protestant daughter Mary (and then Anne). So what if he never, try as he might, had a son and the throne was guaranteed to pass to Mary II, and once she...

  18. The Stars Are Going Out: A War Story

    Prologue My bones be bruised from malcontent, My blood be boiled through. For no change can disarrange The evils that men do. If a villain can become a footnote, then it stands to reason that a footnote might become a villain. Adolf Hitler was, on January 16th, 1921, the victim of an...

  19. Gemini: A Very Alternate World War

    1. Across the length and breadth of the world of Gaea, there existed two vast powers.

  20. WI: Chile vs UK over the Falklands

    Suppose that it was Chile which had the claim on the Falklands and that, without butterflies, they launch an invasion on the same date that Argentine did OTL. 1. Would Chile, with its military as it was in 1982, be able to invade in the first place? 2. Would Britain fare better, worse, or the same?
