Well, as you guys can probably tell, my timeline Every Man A King (the link is in my sig) is basically dead as it is. However, the concept and the general TL is not dead. As I just said in another thread, I'm planning to use a different POD for this TL, one that is much more popularly recognized: Zangara assassinates FDR 1933.
Much of it will of course be the same. However, for once, I'm actually going to have a consistent style of writing for this TL, specifically Thande's style used for his excellent timeline which can be found in the Timelines & Scenarios Section, "Look To The West."
However, this TL is going to my baby. I love it, just as I have loved every other previous version of this, dating all the way back to "The Man With the Iron Heart." Therefore, I want it to be really great.
Therefore, I've conceived the idea of writing a much shorter TL set in the 1970s, revolving around one alternate POTUS elected in 1976. Indeed, unless my fellow AH.Commers deem it way too ASB, I was thinking of electing an impossible candidate, as does seem to be my tendency in my TLs. This time, it would be Mo Udall.
The purpose of writing this TL (which would be short - it would only cover the Udall Presidency) would be to prepare and train myself for writing a TL of the magnitude I have planned for my Every Man A King redo. I have realized that I'm somewhat unprepared to take on a TL of this seize so far, so therefore I should prepare myself for it by writing a shorter TL that will educate me in both AH and TL writing.
However, I'll put it up to YOU THE READER, whom I have disappointed with my many cancellations and my tendency to redo my redoings of my TL concepts.
And so the question is: Should I prepare myself with an Udall '76 TL, or should I go directly to EMAK sort-of-2.0?
The poll is incoming, and it shall last three days.
