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.:D 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.
