I'd like to take an opportunity here to give a shout-out to Will Ritson, author of Images of 1984: Stories from Oceania, an absolutely superb TL which posits that, rather than being a trans-continental empire as I'm working towards, Oceania only encompasses England, and the Party hides the truth of the outside world from its people. It is very well done, and it's what inspired me to start this TL. Unfortunately, it kind of trailed off about halfway through, but by that point we had already been introduced to O'Brien and Winston, learned who Big Brother was, and the origins of Ingsoc had been laid out quite clearly. If you're interested in my TL, you'll love Will Ritson's.
It's one of my favourites on the board.
