    I hear it's real good

    Cold War alternative mini-scenarios thread

    So there were some understandable delays but this anthology is moving forward and my story got selected! I'm so excited this is my first published piece of fiction!

    "Power Without Knowledge...": President Haig and the Era of Bad Feelings

    Any questions going forward? They always help me think when I'm otherwise busy with work and life more broadly.

    The King in Yellow and Other Stories: A President Lovecraft Weird Fiction Timeline in Several Acts

    Had some idle thoughts today that'll go into future addenda: I realized a bit ago that I completely spaced on the National Liberal League that Moses Harman was a part of, so I figured out a way it'll tie into Brazen Bull's nebulous web of American corporate banking, Virgin Islands skullduggery...

    I knew that Seal Team Six thing was bullshit!

    "Power Without Knowledge...": President Haig and the Era of Bad Feelings

    Just a little teaser to wet your beaks but for the longest time I couldn't figure out exactly how I wanted the middle action of 2016 to go— suffice to say I knew how it started and how it would end but some aspects of the actual election eluded me. I've been inspired by a recent reread of...

    The King in Yellow and Other Stories: A President Lovecraft Weird Fiction Timeline in Several Acts

    Have some more Prismatic Dynasty notes to tide you over! Since Vance's Dying Earth stories are firmly within the mythos TTL Valis is sometimes known as Pandalume, sometimes only for the sake of pleasant alliteration. Also, I mentioned "pretenders" in the original post, and while the so-called...

    "Power Without Knowledge...": President Haig and the Era of Bad Feelings

    I've had another flurry of general media fun facts, none of which are meaty enough for a full entry, so after I finally get a free moment for the ecological/regressive/mycological fiction post I'll do a general bullet-pointed one with my random asides, then I suppose it's only fair I do the 2016...

    Threadmarks: Homo ludens

    Have a random thing that struck my fancy! More language facts: Gestaltisch (and to a lesser extent High Human) is actually one of the end goals of the Maximalist Fraction, expanding on the relatively limited Xenofemenist Fraction's goals to add extra genders to ACE and the Novuteran Fraction's...

    AHC: Form alternate/new ethnic groups of the world

    Have an "ethnicity" (technically a clade) for the Separate Spheres media franchise in my Power Without Knowledge TL. Despite the fact that it's fiction in-universe it's still aspirational, so there are political/social factions actually trying to manifest it into lived reality, hence why I'm...

    The King in Yellow and Other Stories: A President Lovecraft Weird Fiction Timeline in Several Acts

    There's been a vacillating tendency between portraying him as just an incredible alien with an extreme (and occasionally bizarre) morality to what amounts to an inscrutable force of nature. There have been several films, with the earliest (starring James Dean) leaning into the former...

    Work has been busy but next on the docket is an update to Power Without Knowledge, to keep the wheels spinning here anyone have any lore questions?

    "Power Without Knowledge...": President Haig and the Era of Bad Feelings

    Had some recent thoughts about the development of ecological fiction and its influence on and crosspollination-with Regressive thought so that one will likely be next! In the meantime any setting questions? Work has been busy but I'll try to update soon.

    Nothing For Which to Apologize: Ambition and Loathing in the New South

    Alas it appears that's all we'll get. I liked this take on a surviving Confederacy.

    What alternate history ideas you wish they were used more often?

    Inserting it historically is unlikely to catch on (unless it's some deep green reaction to mid century population bomb stuff), though it could be something that could get some play in a future history TL

    What alternate history ideas you wish they were used more often?

    Those sorts of things are pretty depressing so it's understandable. Committing species suicide just for our own sense of well-being would be exactly as self-indulgent as uncontrolled exploitation is, just in the exact opposite way. When all you see of a given position are smoothbrained...

    What alternate history ideas you wish they were used more often?

    He has a combination of extreme agoraphobia, panic attacks and severe bipolar disorder, so he comes by his unease honestly. He's also very well read on the actual theory of the philosophy he espouses. I don't think it's so much "we should all self terminate" as "we should stop reproducing and...

    What alternate history ideas you wish they were used more often?

    Thomas Ligotti is a horror author and philosophical pessimist who believes human consciousness is a part of nature separate from nature, that this causes massive psychic dislocation and trauma in humans, and that voluntary human extinction is the only rational choice response to this. A lot of...
