ABLE ARCHER 83: Timeline of a Third World War in 1983

Okay, last bump, I promise!

Once again: anyone know how to contact giobasta?

I will give up after this and respect the mandate of the mods. I know writing a different version of someone else's TL is a little weird. I tried to think of a comparison: it's a bit like a movie adaptation or a song cover. Maybe the thing it's most like is a folk tale, which is retold a different way pretty much every time it gets into someone else's hands.

So I don't really feel like what I've done is "bad" in any creative or (god forbid) moral sense. But I recognize that covers and adaptations require copyright permission for publishing, and folk tales are obviously in the public domain.

Maybe if I still feel like doing this in five or ten years, I'll come back and make my case that we've reached the point where derivative works of TTL no longer need permission.:p:D
 
I just finished reading the whole thread, wonderful timeline, it was a pleasure to read
, thank you for sharing it with us
