Review (opt.):

This is for the Meta-TLs that we create. A good example is The Grasshopper Lies Heavily, a meta-TL in the world of The Man in the High Castle.

Please use the format and try not to use TLs you created on the fly for the original timeline. You can add more detail, in fact its welcomed!

Here is a example, and please note that meta-TLs that use the same PoD as the original timeline is not the only ones allowed. The reviewer has to be from the Meta-Timeline.

Original Timeline: TL-191
Meta-Timeline:
A Northern Victory.
PoD:
The Yankees wins the Battle of Camp's Hill (Called Antietam ATL), thanks to a copy of Special Order-191 wrapped around a number of cigars.
Creator: TheDixiesAreDissingMe! aka Mr. Oliver Guy.
Review (opt.): This timeline starts with a weak PoD, assuming that the Special Order-191 was actually left accidently. We know that the order was never lost. But, it actually justifies the weak PoD with very interesting butterflies. America becomes fascist, and the British Commonwealth communist. Canada manages to defend against America enough, so that they retains Quebec, Ontario and the Plains, while losing British Columbia and Yukon. Alaska was sold to the Americans in this timeline, developing from an offer to the USA to buy Alaska from Russia. The USA was too weak from the loss of the Confederacy to buy it OTL, but in ATL they are stable enough to buy it. Fascist America was led by Jake Featherston. (This is the most cliche of all SF cliches). Featherston preached for the genocide of blacks, Indians and Mexicans instead of just blacks.

In short, I will not recommend this book to anybody, since it makes SF looks bad.
 
Original Timeline:Seleucid Triumph
Created Timeline:Parni Triumph
PoD:The Seleucids lose Parthia to the barbarian lord Arsaces
Creator:Imajin
Review(opt):This TL seems relatively plausible but isn't really. The Parthians recreate the Persian Empire and conquer Persia and Mesopotamia! As for the Seleucids, they are completely destroyed by the Romans who extend their power all the way to Brittania. it is sort of similar to OTL but is rather unrealistic. I'd give it 3 stars.

a really large necro, considering TB was kicked recently and couldn't possibly created another thread.
 
Original Timeline: Lands of Red and Gold
Created Timeline: Barren Auroria
PoD: 40,000 BC?
Creator: Ian Sofa Kingdom
Review (opt.): It begins with a meteor hitting South-Eastern Auroria (Australia ITTL), wiping out the red yam long before it could ever form the basis of a system of agriculture, but the effects are not felt (outside that continent) until the Hauptman Exchange--or rather lack of it, for "Australia" has no diseases and (seemingly) no crops, so, as you might expect, things get really weird right off the bat. Eventually, the Spanish and Portugese carve up much of North America and Australia ends up Dutch, at least until the Holy Roman Empire consolodates, becoming much more centrally governed.
