  1. President Dan Quayle in 2000

    I was reading on Wiki that Dan Quayle -- the rather dystopic VP under George HW Bush from 1989 to 1993 -- named Dan Quayle considered running for Governor of Indiana in 1996. So I thought: What if Dan Quayle did run for Governor, regained popularity with the GOP by pulling a few stunts as...

  2. AHC: President Lou Dobbs

    With a POD of 2000, have Lou Dobbs elected President of the United States, and discuss the potential Dobbs Presidency. Is he a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent? What does he do in office, and how is he elected?

  3. AHC: President Obama in 2000

    I'm not entirely sure of a definite POD for this; however, let's just follow this backstory: In 1994, Barack Obama IOTL was doing really well -- he'd gained national fame for being the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, and by '94, his first book Dreams from My Father, was in the...

  4. WI: Jungle Primary in the United States

    Currently, the state of California uses the "jungle primary" to determine the candidates for a statewide office. What would it take for a jungle system to be implemented in the United States, at what time might it be implemented, and what would be the results of said implementation?

  5. Ultimate AHC: President Joseph Smith

    You heard what I said. Make Joseph Smith President of the United States! Only restriction is that he still has to be Mormon. That's it; you can do whatever you like besides changing his religion.

  6. AHC: Dystopic 2000s

    Inspired by the "Dystopic 1990s" thread, and the new TL by Vultan, "You Get What You Give": What would be a course of action that would make the 2000s a very, very dystopic century? This is a tougher challenge, since this is the last full decade we've lived through and we don't know the...

  7. Alternate Marriages

    Bend history in any way you like to form alternate marriages between famous people. For example: President John F. Kennedy serves eight years as President, and shortly after he leaves office, Jackie discovers the facts about her husband's "escapades" and divorces him. Kennedy marries Marilyn...

  8. Ramble On

    I've been reading "For All Time" lately, and I've been fascinated with the writing style. So I decided to give it a try myself! The POD for this timeline is October 24th, 1967. I don't know what Lyndon B. Johnson was doing on that day, but ITTL, I had him visiting a school in D.C., when he is...

  9. Iran Hostage Crisis: American AND Soviet Embassies?

    I was reading up on the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1979, and I read that the Ayatollah Khomeini had proposed a simultaneous siege of both the American and Soviet embassies in Tehran. IOTL, they only besieged and took hostages from the American embassy, but what if they simultaneously did so at...

  10. How different the world would be without a specific Pope?

    While the implications of the world where the Catholic Church doesn't have a Pope are interesting, that isn't the question I'm asking here:p So, of all the Popes of the RCC (before 1900 of course), which Pope's death in an alternate reality would make the world the most "interesting," for...

  11. The Death of Ringo Starr

    Inspired by Emperor Norton's timeline about Paul McCartney dying in 1966. What if Ringo Starr died during the Beatle years? I'm really leaving this up to any time really. Tell me what you think the effects would be of a Starr death just before "Please Please Me," before "Let It Be," or...

  12. Kennedy v. Nixon 1972

    So let's assume a famous POD, that RFK lives in '68. However, RFK does not win the Democratic nomination, and Hubert Humphrey wins the nomination and loses to Nixon. So basically, it's the OTL plus Robert Kennedy. So here's my question: What if RFK challenges President Nixon in 1972? And what...

  13. People who might have had an impact on the world if they had lived

    So who are some people who died at a young(ish) age who might have had an impact on the world had they lived? I'm talking people like Abe Lincoln, JFK, RFK, Hugh Gaitskell, JFK Jr., Kurt Cobain... People who died before their time, but had they lived, would have made a serious impact on the...

  14. Senator Walter Mondale in the 2000s

    In 2002, when Sen. Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash twelve days before the election, the Minnesota Democratic Party (the DFL) nominated Walter Mondale in his place. Norm Coleman narrowly defeated Mondale IOTL, and that is attributed to the anger against the Democrats generated by the overall...

  15. Electric Ladyland With A Gold Standard: The Jimi Hendrix Story

    JIMI HENDRIX IN HOSPITAL, RUMORS ABOUND OVER DRUG OVERDOSE - The New York Times, September 19th 1970 "There were two phases in the life of Jimi Hendrix. The first phase saw a young, wild Jimi growing up, learning how to play an acoustic guitar at the age of 15 and quickly improving...

  16. LBJ Dies in Late '67

    What would happen if President Lyndon B. Johnson died of a massive heart attack sometime in December 1967? This makes Hubert H. Humphrey President. Eugene McCarthy has already announced that he will challenge him in the Dem. primaries in 1968. What do you think would happen?

  17. AHC: John McCain in 2008

    So I tried using the Search engine to find a topic on this, but I couldn't find any on this specifically. Your challenge is to get John McCain elected President of the United States in 2008 with a POD no earlier than January 1, 2007. No one can be assassinated. Good luck!

  18. President Dan Quayle

    You heard me right. Get Dan Quayle to be President of the United States with a POD no earlier than the day after the 1992 presidential election, when Bush/Quayle was defeated by Clinton/Gore. You may have Quayle elected at any time. Bonus points if it is in 1996, triple points and a lovely...

  19. A Born Winner

    The year is 1960. America looks forward to a decade in which America and the world will prosper and progress. Many expect a utopian era of history to emerge by the end of the decade. Today, we look on the 1960s, and we realize it was a decade of turbulence, a decade of violence, and a decade of...

  20. Fragments of Alternate History

    Well, I've decided something interesting: I am totally incapable of writing a full-length TL. I've tried it... Let's see... 7 times, all a failure. President Harry Turtledove, President Paul Wellstone, President Ted Kennedy, President Huey Long, President Ross Perot... I just can't seem to...
