AH Title and Description Game

[Pesigalam]

The Jew in Berlin

An AH story set in the 1930s German Revolutionary Republic led by the Spartacus League. The story's main protagonist is the Old Bolshevik Lev Kamenev who acts as the Soviet Union's ambassador to the fraternal communist nation. As the story progresses the reader learns more about the tensions between German and USSR which bigger about ideology but try to present a united front against the capitalist powers of the globe. Of concern is also the growing antisemetic mood in Germany, with a certain Austrian politician blaming Jews for failure of global socialism...

EDIT: Didn't realise we jumped a page, so I'll do the current one:

Children Of Hades.

A TL exploring the French nuclear program in a world where the USSR never fell apart and explores what system might have replaced the France's Hadès nuclear missiles. The author imagines the French government developing a space-based system called Macaria and a more conventional replacement for the Hadès missiles called the Melinoe (both names being derived from children of Hades in Greek myth, hence the title of the TL). The TL received mixed reviews though a subgroup of AH.comers really liked the author's overly-technical descriptions of the rockets and missiles. As it turns out the was a former French rocket engineer working for ESA.

"East of the American Empire stands the Fortress of Freedom..."

Told from the perspective of a Chinese militant, this TL follows the struggle between Pan-Asian guerrillas and American forces in U.S.-occupied Qing China during what is in this TL is called 'the Great Vengeance', a result of perceived injustice from a much more imperialist and expansionist Washington.

The 'Fortress of Freedom' is a sarcastic moniker applied to Ft. Lincoln, a leased naval base in OTL Port Arthur. This is the attack which begins a conflict that resulted in the deaths of millions, both American and Han.

The TL was not well received, most likely due to the author's nationalistic empathy for China.

The Russian Boar (This isn't a typo, to clear any confusion)

 

[Pesigalam]

The Russian Boar

A TL written by a pan-Slavist author exploring what could have happened if Russia was given control over Serbia in the 19th century. The initial POD is that Russia never leaves the Second Coalition and the alliance ends up decisively defeating France. France is occupied by the victors and Russian troops garrison the French soil decades before they did this OTL. The proximity of Russian troops and supply lines mean that the Russian Empire sends troops to help out the Serbian Uprising of 1804. Serbian forces and Russian soldiers crush the Ottoman troops and Serbia petitions the Tzar to join the Russian Empire. The rest of the TL explores how a joint Serbo-Russian culture and the pan-Slavism movement developed as a result of these events. The TL title comes from the Triballian Boar, the symbol used by the Serbian Revolutionaries.

Tigers and Tomahawks -- Iroquois Warriors of the British Raj

A pre-1900 alternate history timeline that narrated the activities and exploits of the Tomahawk Legion in the Indian subcontinent ruled by Great Britain until the Partition of 1947. Recruited from the British protectorate (now independent nation-state) of Iroquois, the Tomahawk Legion served as the de facto police force of the British Raj, maintaining public order for the colonial government; at the same time, they trained native Indians to become policemen, thus forming the nucleus of both the Indian Federal Police and the Pakistani Federal Police. The timeline also included different stories of members of the Tomahawk Legion who married locals and formed families, despite opposition from both the British Raj government and the relatives of their Indian brides; some stayed in India (and Pakistan), others returned to Iroquois and continued their service as senior members of the police force there.

a.) Bahasa Namayan: The Full History of the Philippine Malay Language

A lingustic TL focused on a more succesful Sultanate of Sulu, utilising the morphology and various bits and bobs of vocabulary to highlight specific alternate circumstances. Thoroughly researched in its linguistic aspects and also exhaustively exploring the possibilities of a Philippines caught between the Malay and Spanish Empires. There was some minor friction with suddenly nationalistic Filipino, Indonesian and Sabahan board members.

The Sixth Good Emperor

Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus, who in OTL became Roman emperor after the death of Marcus Aurelius, died during the revolt of Avidius Cassius in 175 while his twin Titus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus, who in OTL died young, succeeded their father in 180. Titus Aurelius continued the policy of his predecessor and added Marcomannia and Sarmatia to the empire. And like his father he was a philosopher who wrote some philosophical books which are still read today. He never married and thus had no heir. so that with his death in 226 the Nerva–Antonine dynasty came to an end.

[Barbarossa Rotbart]

Red, White and Blue over Ottawa.

Tthe failed assassination of the Hereditary President of the United States during a state visit in the British Dominion of Canada led to a war between the fascist United States of Greater America and the British Empire in which Ottawa was conquered and those members of the Canadian government who did not managed to flee the city in time were publicly exectued. The TL chronicles the life in the city during the US occupation, which, as one commentator wrote, sounds like living in a very big concentration camp. Four years later British forces managed to liberate the city, a city which has lost nearly 90% of its population (most of them were murdered by US soldiers during the last days of the occupation).
The writer of this TL was criticized for his extreme anti-American stance and some critics even say that the whole TL is ASB because the US would never become fascist.

The Slave who would be Queen

A timeline where Freydís Eiríksdóttir is captured by the skrælingjar war-party in Vinland. Although she is initially enslaved and taken as a war-bride of one of the Indian chiefs she eventually learns the native language and earns the respect of her captors. Because of her knowledge of Norse farming and (to an extent) sailing and metalworking technologies, she earns the respect of the tribe and is eventually declared as the head wife of the chieftain (Freydís would say her title is that of a "queen" when she regained contact with her Norse clan) and establishes permanent contact between Native Americans and the Vikings. The TL was criticized for the author's lackluster knowledge about the Native American tribes and traditions of the region.

Jesus rides to battle on Indra's shoulders against the Devil-Wolf Asena

A timeline about Christianity that spreads farther east instead of west and Hinduism spreads farther west. In what is OTL Afghanistan, a fusion of Christianity and Hinduism comes to life with God becoming Indra and elements like reincarnation enter into the Christian mythos. Over the course of a few hundred years, it becomes a majority religion in Afghanistan and an empire is formed by a charismatic leader claims to be a reincarnation of Jesus who spreads this form of Christianity from Persian to northern India. Ultimately, this empire comes into conflict with a Turkish empire in the north. The charismatic leader declares a holy war against them claiming that Asena is the reincarnation of the Devil and that the Turks are Devil spawn. The war ends up as a disaster for the charismatic leader and his empire collapses and his claim of being a reincarnation of Jesus is said to be bull. The timeline was criticized because of the over the top-ness of the entire thing and flaws within the narrative.

Dyēus, Amaterasu, and Abraham.



An ASB TL dealing with the ISOT of three religious states from three different TLs into three islands. One where the worship of ancient Indo-European God Dyeus continued, and a theocratic state was formed in what is now Greece. One where a Shinto-Buddhist theocratic movement overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate in the 18th Century, and formed a Shinto state with Amaterasu as the "Eternal Empress," with the regular Emperor as the figurehead, and one, in where the Cold War turned hot in 1983, and parts of Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana adopted a religion which worshipped Abraham Lincoln. The three powers fight each other, trying to convert the other side. The primitive tech of the Dyeus followers is no match for the Japanese technology, but ultimately the superior technology of the Abraham faction wins out over the other two. However, still believing in the American ideal of Freedom of religion, they accept the followers of each religion, and together form a fully integrated society. Then, the ASB who arranged this arrives, and decides to follow a combination of all three religions.

The Year of Five Presidents

 

[TwiliAlchemist]

The Year of Five Presidents

The story begins in 1860 where Abraham Lincoln is elected President of the United States. The Confederate States of American still succeed from the Union; however, it doesn't immediately attack Fort Sumter. This results in a Northern Alliance succeeding from the Union as well, leaving the United States as New England, Kansas, California, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. Abraham Lincoln was taken to Illinois, since Washington D.C. was now the center of what was called the Free States of America. New England left not long and elected a President. The United States would knew it couldn't retake the lost land. Unrest in the remaining US states would result in Abraham Lincoln being assassinated, the collapsing of the rest of the states, and the US becomes a totalitarian state controlling only the state of Illinois. The story was criticized on account of how implausible it was.

Deseretian-Utah Conflict

"Am I now seeking the approval of man?"

 

[Historyman 14]

Deseretian-Utah Conflict

A TL set in the time of WW1, it's background is the US put in much more effort in settling the West, leading to a higher population in the area, a bloodier Civil War leading to the US losing control over large parts of the West, and the rise of radical Mormons. Things get bad as at last war breaks out. The main factions are the 'Holy Mormons' and the Pro-Union/independence alliance, with many smaller groups adding one side, or themselves.

The TL ends with the fall of Salt Lake City, leading to the fall of the Holy Mormons, but with very bloody resistance from the hold outs, and the breaking up of the alliance.

Darkness of Anubis.

[Sol717]

Darkness of Anubis.

Darkness of Anubis is a timeline where after the Second Intermediate Period, Egypt declines as the fighting is much more bloody, and Egypt becomes permanently split into multiple petty kingdoms, each centred around a major city. This situation continues for some time, as the petty kingdoms are too poor to attract any invaders. However, in 892 BC, one of the petty kings includes a scathing insult in his diplomatic correspondence with the king of Assyria. While the author added a modicum of detail in this first section, the timeline really hits its stride during the titular 'Darkness of Anubis', where they explain how Egyptian and Assyrian culture, and society interact during the 500-year Assyrian rule of Egypt, which is much more direct than the OTL Assyrian rule of Egypt. After the collapse of the Assyrian empire, two Assyro-Egyptian kingdoms are formed, and the Remans (alternate Romans) never conquer them or the other Assyrian states, as they are generally not as successful as the OTL Romans, instead becoming a regional power in Italy and its surrounding regions. The timeline ends shortly after the *Dark Ages (which do not affect the Assyro-Egyptian state) with a epilogue composed of a vignette illustrating their descendants in a modern society. The timeline was lauded for its attention for detail, but at the same time, it was said to lack plausibility (e.g. the reasons that are given for why the Remans don't conquer Gaul, which is weak and divided, are unconvincing, especially after the gruelling Reman conquest of North Africa.)

Total Eclipse: Blood Moon

In an alternate world where -imagine...- vampires and werewolves do exist, the clans of McCullen (Scottish werewolves) and Corto Leone (Neapolitan vampires) battle it out to become the leading crime syndicate in 1930's Chicago.... all this over a span of five days where due some meteorologic anomaly the moon appears twice as big and blood red. Although the first chapters were quickly dismissed as a blatant mix-up of 'The Godfather', the 'Twilight' series and various 1930's gangster movies the series impressed with solid storytelling, good writing and an exemplary knowledge of historical Chicago and 1930's local and national politics. This became obvious with the posting of chapter 5, which is told from the standpoint of a not-yet-president FDR who suspects that the doctors aiding him in his recovery from polio might actually be vampires and werewolves trying to build him up for their own agenda. With this chapter, even critics that had dismissed the writing as just a piece of fanfic which had by chance landed on the wrong website had to admit the series worth. One of them, a self-proclaimed vampire fiction hater going by the handle 'Ennobee' even went so far as to publicly apologize to the author' a certain "Largo J Fly"

From this point on, the readership and the following board discussion was split into two camps. Camp one suspected the writer to be a serious historian but really bad Twilight fanfic writer. ( Why else would he/she name the main character Edward McCullen.) The other suspected the writer to be an accomplished academic and professional writer who deliberately choose obvious names like McCullen and a mashup of Corleone and Cortomaltese to trick the reader into taking his yarn too seriously.

Meanwhile new chapters to the Blood Moon saga continued appearing with a clockwork regularity every Friday around 5 am US standard time ... or as one poster remarked, on Friday noon in Europe.

Then, just after release of the seventh chapter, a poster from Belgium noticed how several plot elements seemed to be lifted from a 2001 graphic novel "Moon of slaughter" drawn by Herman Huppen on a scenario by Jean Van Hamme. Immediately after that, poster 'Ritter von Steinfurth' explained how the writer's handle "Largo J. Fly" looks like an amalgam of Largo Winch, the hero of one of Van Hamme's famous comic series and Jason Fly, the birthname of Agent XIII, of one of Van Hamme's other series, then went on to speculate if the writer of the series was no one less then Jean Van Hamme himself - now 77 years old and officially retired from writing since 2008.

This post appeared on a Thursday evening. The following Friday no new chapter was posted and none has been since.

The discussion board however is still alive with rumors and conspiracy theories: Was Van Hamme the writer? if so, was the writing on par with his earlier work? or did may be the original poster just find Von Steinfurth's post a convenient excuse to stop a thread over which he was slowly loosing control. Currently the discussion focusses on the person who may-be-or-not outed Jean Van Hamme: a family called 'Van Steenvoort' are the heroes of another of Van Hamme's series: "Masters of the Rye": Was 'Ritter Von Steinfurth' Jean Van Hamme as well and did he out himself to be able to stop the series? If so, why? His age? the by times outright nasty critiques? or was he just trying if he could pull off an AL timeline and lost interest once he found he could?

Both "Largo J. Fly" and "Ritter von Steinfurth" have since deleted their AH.com user accounts.
