  4. WI: Stephen King never writes Carrie

    In 1973, Stephen King wrote Carrie, his breakthrough hit. Overnight, he went from having to give up on phone service to save money to being one of hottest new American authors. Ever since, he's been a major part of the landscape of horror literature. However, this was by no means guaranteed...
  5. Modern Feudalism

    What might the culture of the modern world look like if feudalism was still the prevalent form of government?

  8. Shakespeare writes novels

    Could Shakespeare have written novels? Perhaps after the Globe goes poof? I know. This presupposes that he had enough exposure to the concept and that he was willing to. Since it's safe to say that OTL Shakespeare didn't have had much (if any) exposure to the modern concept of a novel, as the...
  9. Books on Medieval India

    I am currently working on a pan-Eurasian timeline with a PoD in Central India around 900 AD. I have however found it extremely difficult to find good resources on this period in Indian history, from roughly 800-1000 AD, and Wikipedia is often contradictory. Does anyone have any recommendations...

    What books did Anne Boleyn read/own?

    I've lately been trying to find information about the Boleyn family's library, especially what Anne might have read and perhaps owned. My biggest problem is that while there are seven surviving books( going by what Prof. Ives says) of hers, only the French Bible by Jacques Lefèvre d'Etaples is...

    Dr. Seuss aka Theodor Geisel (1904-1991) almost didn't become a writer/illustrator of children's books. In 1936, he tried to sell a manuscript titled A Story No One Can Beat to publishers who rejected it for many different reasons (some didn't like the cartoon art, some didn't like the verse...

    Most ill-conceived attempts at steampunk (that you know of)
