So I saw this "50 Years" collaborative timeline and went for it with salivation-rate escalated. And I discovered that the boat had more than sailed, it had gone around the world a few times and all the staterooms on it were booked and what-not.

I became envious.

I coveted.

I bet I am not the only one who feels this way...

"Ah to be present at the beginning of such a magnificent thing!"

So, yeah, I have not at all sought anyone's permission to do this. This is a blatant "OH OH ME TOO I WANT" thread, a glorious gesture of gluttony, a grab for something that isn't mine at all.

The poster Arkhan created that epic 50 Years thread.

I can smell the quality just from the opening post... Sigh.

Well.

In the spirit of a rogue cloning technician scampering out of a medical clinic for the rich and famous with cells taken from Winona Ryder, I shall now brazenly attempt to "grow my own." Well, it'll be ours, see. I wouldn't share Winona-clone with anyone, you know, but this thing is inherently a group-work if it rises above the level of some five-post remnant that sinks to the deep bla bla bla.


With full acknowledgment of my intellectual property theft, I will copy and paste the text from Arkhan's elegantly stated opening post for that magnificent glorious epically constructed thread...

Welcome to 50 years! A collaborative timeline in the spirit of XXth century. Beginning on Jan 1st 1960, and ending on Jan 1st 2010, this timeline will explore just how much difference 50 years can make. The butterfly effect will be used in full, which means that anyone born more than 9 months after Jan 1st 1960 (in other words, September) will either not exist, or be a different ALT "brother" or "sister" than from OTL. This also means a number of people who did not exist in OTL will show up and make their marks on history. Now, let us begin, on January 1st, 1960. The world over people are celebrating the beginning of new decade. Little do they know that the years to come will take them on a wildly different path.
Preview of the coming year:

Yeah, now I toss the baton (that doesn't belong to me anyhow!) to whatever. Yeah. GO GO GO!
