Its still a relatively new year and I've been a member on this site for something like two. I've bounced around various ideas for TimeLines, but have never sat down and begun. I think its because I can't convince myself to concentrate on one alone.
So, in between my increasing schoolwork, I plan to begin... something. I don't care which, so you all choose. And feel free to comment, critique, or question. Whatever I do write will no doubt be far more a piece of fiction than plausible historical scenarios. My theory is if you can't logically explain a piece of Alternate History, blame it on butterflies. Butterflies on steroids.
Anyway, these are the current ideas bouncing 'round in my head. I don't know how long I'll stick with this, or how often I'll update, but I figured I won't ever know until I begin. So here we go.
1) For Whom the Axe Falls - The Death of Elizabeth Tudor
-What say Mary, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, decides she can't trust her half-sister to protect the One True Faith in most bless'd England?
2) I Claim This Land - How Columbus was Beaten to the Punch
-Columbus wasn't the only one to believe the Earth was round, so who else might endeavor such an enterprise?
3) In the Name of God - John III the Pious Protestant of Portugal
-Lisbon and Rome have... a falling out, so to speak, possibly over the division of the New World. What next?
4) Other - Suggest Your Own Ideas
