Or more simply, never born in the first place, with either one of these scenarios resulting in The Ren & Stimpy Show never getting made. Now take this into...

    Discussion: What was your first Alternate History idea?

    Alternate history is a fun idea. Trying to map out the PODs, the changes in a timeline, and the butterfly effects that could cause in history.

  3. What civilization or nation deserves to have its own TL?

    Many forgotten civilizations, empires, kingdoms, etc., were crucial in human history or at least very influential in the regions they were established. Some that I think deserve a TL, or more use, are the Chola Empire, Mesoamerican civilizations, and Bronze Age kingdoms, such as Mitanni. Moving...
  4. WI: After Anne Boleyn's execution, Elizabeth had vanished from history (just like Mary Seymour did from the OTL)?

    Alternative Monarchs and Aristocrats Timelines
    Threadmarks: Home Post and Example Post - The Arthurian Age: Arthur survives the sweat in 1502 - King Arthur I (1509-1552)

    I've seen some list topics of Alternative Monarchs or Aristocrats, but most only allow lists or family trees, here you can talk precisely about the monarchs and the stories themselves, here you can talk about a real monarch/aristocrat whose history was changed or a totally fictional one. This...

    AH Cuisine and Culinary Practices

    Compared to war, culture, and geopolitics, food and food preparation tend to be widely overlooked in AH circles.
