Spirit of '76
One of the many 'fromages' (cheesy tributes) to Monty Python produced over the decades by talented (or less talented) fans of the group, this one to the movie Life of Brian
This is a tongue in cheek biopic of John the Revelator during his exile on the Isle of Patmos, and the writing of the Book of Revelation.
The movie was made on location on Parmos, but without proper permits or sets, a guerilla style film making, featuring staring bystanders and the occaisional car or phone noise in this period piece.
John is portrayed as usually drunk or on other drugs and most of the signs and scenes described in the Book are poytrayed as John's relatives, neighbors, and things that occur to him.
The 'whore of Babylon' is a prostitute down the street that moved from Babylon to Patmos ("i heard this was a happening place. Imagine my surprise") who refuses to do any business with John, the 'many headed Dragon' is his landlady, ocean going mammels, seals, show up playing ominous music on horns, eventually seven of them,, etc, etc.
There is also attempts at satire, a gang of victory obssessed athletic thugs keep giving John problems, and all wear Nike running shoes.
The movie never found general theatrical release, but did have a cult/midnight movie following, and an eventual laser disk release, but any VCR or DVD recordings are bootleg.

Up next:
The Thousand Island Empire

The Thousand Island Empire

A scenario set in the pre-Spanish times where the Namayan people, speaking a descendant of proto-Philippine language and living in the eastern banks of Pampanga River, managed to unify from different city-states, forged alliances with other pre-colonial states across Luzon to create an empire that lasted for six centuries (10th to 16th centuries).

The scenario, which combined the elements of elements of pre-1900 and (geographical) ASB timelines, depicted in detail the settlement patterns, economy and society of pre-colonial Philippines; in particular, the scenario described the different waves of migration of Namayan people to the southeastern coast of Panay and Guimaras and central-southwastern part of Buglas/Negros island and the whole Spratley Archipelago.

A speculative TL where Shia LaBeouf never became a movie actor and instead lives a double life: one as a performance artists and another as a serial killer. He travels across the USA and the world with his theater group, thus ensuring that his victims are scattered across a wide geographic are and thus the murders are hard to link to one another. Although the TL focuses on the law-enforcement hunt for the serial killer, tidbits of the wider world are revealed in various updates: Andrei Chikatilo was never executed and in fact never went to prison due to a mistrial (even more bizarrely, by the time the TL takes place he had moved to Japan and co-hosts a reality TV show there alongside the local cannibal-celebrity, Issei Sagawa), Iraq was never invaded and is currently run by Uday Hussein who is known for his sexual excesses and love of torture, the North-Irish War is still underway though it's relatively low-intensity conflict and Raman Raghav is still at large in India. The title of the TL is taken from an art-performance LaBeouf does in the TL (which in turn is based on his OTL "I'm no longer famous" stunt).

The Shinto Roma -- Rise and Fall of Japanese Gypsies (in Denmark)

The Shinto Roma -- Rise and Fall of Japanese Gypsies (in Denmark)

I'll take a crack at this as best as I can:

A short story set during the early part of World War II, where, during the Nazi invasion, a group of Romas in Poland escape the Nazis, and journey to then-neutral Denmark. There, they try to find a country to flee to. Only one Japanese diplomat is sympathetic, and tries to get them to Japan. However, then the Nazi invasion of Denmark happens, and they are trapped at the Japanese embassay, while the claim is processed. Finally, the diplomat is able to get them the necessary documentation to reach Japan, where they remain until the end of the war, where they leave a devastated Japan, and return to a devastated Poland.

Blood, Sweat and Tears in the Land of Milk and Honey: The Shared Histories of the Hebrew-speaking Peoples of Palestine

The BST series is a long running Alt History book series that diverges when Greek influenced Hebrews (the words 'Jew' and 'Jewish' die out in Antiquity) managed to defeat the Maccabees, driving them into the desert, cementing the first of several divisions in the Hebrew tribes. Through a series of characters spanning over millennia we see the Hebrew peoples divide along lines of religion and ethnicity even while retaining similar languages and retaining the 'Holy Land', though actual control varies between Empires, Nations, and periods of Hebrew 'self-rule' though in the hands of one Hebrew sub-ethnicity, or Hebrew inspired faith.

Both titles are great ...

The Reign of the Sadist: the Maquis de Sade's reign over Revolutionary France

Donatien-Alphonse-François, Marquis de Sade managed to avoid prison and a death sentence during the Reign of Terror and even managed to succeed Robbespierre after his fall and execution. During his rule from 1794 to 1798 the revolution was completed and France became a utopian socialist republic. Although he described what we in OTL call sadistic practices in his plays and novels, he did never made them legal, but other things (homosexuality, racial and gender equality) did and France became the most progressive nation of the time. Since then Sadism describes his utopian but working brand of socialism which is still the foundation of the French Constitution, even if his successors turned France into a dictatorship and later into a restored monarchy.

The said scenario include the policy where Tocharian-born mercenaries replaced the expelled Moors and Jews in their specialized occupation, mostly marrying both Conversos (from a significant part of both Iberian Moors and Sephardic Jewish population) and Iberian Roman Catholics, as well as the consolidation of the guild system in both Castile and Aragon. Also included was the story of Miguel de la Paz, who survived his infant sickness and growing up in the courts of the unified kingdom of Spain. Currently, Isabella the Great is one of the nominees in this year's Turtledove Awards for Best Continuing Renaissance Timeline; it was the second nomination for the said timeline.

Abdul Aziz, the head of the Al-Saud family is killed at the Battle of Riyadh in 1902 whilst attempting to recapture his family's former capital. The Al-Saud forces are routed upon their leader's death and Al-Saud resume their exile in Kuwait. The Great War breaks out in 1914 with the Ottomans finding themselves on the side of the Central Powers. Prime Minister Asquith rejects the eccentric plan of first Lord of the Admiralty Churchill for a landing at the heavy fortified heights at Gallipoli instead opting to land forces at the relatively undefended front near Alexandretta. The British and French expeditionary force's success cuts off Ottoman Anatolia from the Arab Provinces. However the Allies do not have enough men to occupy the Arab Provinces and mob up the remaining Ottoman garrisons. So their turn to Sharif Hussein bin Ali of Mecca. With Allied support he drives the Ottoman's out the Hejaz and by the war's end in 1917 has even occupied as far north as the city of Amman. After the war the Allies recognize Hussien's conquests as the Kingdom of Arabia, although they refuse his requests that his sons be given thrones as well. From 1917 to 1923 the Hussien would focus on conquering the rest of Arabia. In 1923, he would crush the last resisting tribe, the Rashidis at a much more famous Battle of Riyadh, uniting all of Arabia under the Hashemite banner.
