Lord of AH (First Book) - Chingo360

Sorry, but it's ineligible. Better luck next year.

Iñaki · Mar 1, 2006

Hello.

I want to nominate for General History Timelines:

Renaissance and Reformation Period, 1400 AD - 1699 AD

The Timeline of the American Commonwealth of Wolve

Alright, for the Ancient History period, I nominate my Historia Mundi Timeline. 'Course, it is the new version of a timeline that did already win last year.

Now, can we include future histories? I'm guessing they'd be after 1945, though it might be best to have their own category, if there were more. If we can, I nominate my March of Days Yet Born timeline.

Written in 2006, not in 2005 - but it will be eligible for 2006 awards...

Yup, I nominated that too. It's a good one.

My Earth Ascendant project? Please, people, it barely has a few years under its belt. Don't vote for it, its pathetic.

*hoping for reverse psychology to kick in...*

Though wouldn't the best system base it around typs of AH- that is, "Turtledove" for best non-ASB timeline (with time-based categories), "Stirling" for best ISOT and other ASB (including Writer's Forum as a category), etc.

Yes, for stuff written in 2005.

Just like the 2006 Superbowl was for the 2005 season.

Dave Howery · Mar 1, 2006

we can nominate ourselves? OK, I nominate myself for the whole ALT thing... hey, it inspired a whole subforum...

And what would be the point?

Actors are driven by their egos, I would hope that there is more to alternate history than ego...

Chingo360 · Mar 1, 2006

well it would be cool, if we have one for several categories

Ah, forgot about the year thing. Guess Historia Mundi will have to wait for next year. But March of Days yet Born is still legit.

fortyseven · Mar 1, 2006

I'd nominate my Third Hundred Years War but...

Sargon · Mar 2, 2006

I nominate New Story by Grey Wolf for the post 1900 category.

You really have no idea just how much work he has put into it...I have disks he sent me full of documents he has written as background notes which are just too numerous to post, and they add up to more than the story itself! Character profiles, political structures, timelines, commentaries, historical notes, royal lineages... the amount of research and preparation he has done is phenomenal. I am absolutely staggered by it quite frankly. It's all I can do to just post his basic chapters and illustrations!

I also nominate A Much Larger Rome that Lasts Until the Present Day by ericams for the pre 1900 category. He has also put a hell of a lot of effort into his story. It may not be the most plausible timelne around, but it is certainly a damn enjoyable read.
