More creative writing than AH as such.
I sometimes get a little annoyed by the 'As You Know Bob' syndrome in DBWI threads, in which the first poster says something like 'so what did you do when the Imperial Japanese invaded America in 1943 after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was of course a very unsuccessful president, was assassinated in 1936' or whatever. They give levels of detail which you would never really give in-context because you would assume the reader already knew.
So, based on that, here's the challenge: it's a triple-blind what if. In other words, it's a DBWI scenario but written by people from an ATL themselves...and the scenario in question is, of course, OTL.
So describe the recent history of OTL as though it was a DBWI thread, for example 'so what did you do in the war on terror which started after the Al-Qaeda attack on New York in 2001?' etc.
Go!
