    This Sceptred Isle: A History of Ænglund
    Threadmarks: Introduction and Rulers Lists - Harald Hardrada | 1066-1079

    This was originally published over on the Shared Worlds forum (as you may know) as part of a succession game. There's been some interested in a trimmed down version of the TL, without the debate, so it can be shared around. In the future, I may actually do something of a Remaster - not a total...

    Fear Nothing But God: A Graphical History
    Threadmarks: Opening Post

    What is this? For a few months now I've been finally developing an idea that's been ruminating for years. It started from a simple observation; the United States and the American Revolution are, to be controvertial, really rather British in character. Despite the modern understanding of Britain...

    How Inveitable is European Imperialism?

    I'm finally working on a TL thats been on the backburner for like 2 years and one thing I'd like to explore is just how set in stone European imperialism is. I'm of the mindset that this sort of thing could be butterflied considerably later than one might expect. The TL diverges in the...

    TLIAW: Daughters of Elysium - The European Federal Election of 2019

    Oh no. Oh yeah! A TLIAW? And one with the weird internal monologue at the start? Listen I'm a sucker for bandwagons. Election nights are so over done, don't you have a shred of creativity? They are not! I take a great deal of pride in ripping off proper Politbrits. And I clearly do, just...

    Rotarian Political Party?

    Hey guys just had a random thought whilst arranging some events with my local rotary club and the thought dawned on me, is it possible that the Rotary Club could have evolved into a political movement? They've got a clear symbol, some easy messages and a good base for policies; populist...

    WI: Minority Zones in the US

    OK, lets say a right wing government comes into power in the US following, say, a particularly bad Depression. This isn't Nazi Germany levels of right wing but it's still not very nice. The decide that in order to resolve race problems in the US they will create small autonomous regions...

    AHC: Female Prime Minister By 1930

    The Challenge I present you with is thus, to have a female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with a PoD no earlier than 1880, by 1930. Does this seem an achievable goal? If so, how early could Britain have a female PM? Would it be easier or more difficult to have a female POTUS by the same year?

    Drake is an interesting figure in British History and one with great ability to change the course of things and so I put it to you, even coming from such a lowly background, would it have been possible for Francis Drake to marry Queen Elizabeth. If Drake's wife dies before the wedding takes...

    The Confederate Crown A TILIAW By Angry Celt "God Save the Southron King and God Save his Confederate States!" Well this is just silly. Hey, at least let me start. It's kind of cool really. This might be the dumbest idea I've ever heard. :( And you can't write people, and you never...

    Would the French ever persue a Fashoda War?

    Let's say that following the Fashoda incident, or an African Colonial confrontation similar to it, Britain and France go to war. Would France ever attempt to fight the British Behemoth? Perhaps with Russian support they could be emboldened? As detailed in the short-lived but excellent A War...

    Alternte British National Anthem

    As much as I love God Save the Queen, I do think that us Limeys have a couple songs that I find somewhat more inspiring so I wanted to test the waters, which songs to people think would best represent the United Kingdom? Also: With a constitution change in a 19th Century TL of mine (that...

    Germanic Russia?

    It's quite well known that the Rus started out as a Norse (I think Swedish?) conquest, along with other minor Norse-Russian Kingdoms in the South, so is it possible that the Russian region at least in the west) could become fully Germanic and be considered a Nordic State?

    Saxon Question: Harold's heir?

    Theoretical here on a Harold victorious TL I've been working on (Apologies to Crown of the Confessor but it should be quite different.) When Harold conks it, who's his actual heir? Saxon inheritance was mildly iffy but should it be Godwin, his first born son by his common-law wife? Harold Jr...
