Wow. I just read the entire TL, and it was amazing. One of the best threads on this entire site. Sorry for the thread necromancy but I just wanted to saw bravo to Wolfpaw.
Why thank you very much :)

And don't count this thread dead yet. Yes, the hiatus has been (far too) long, but I promise that there will be some significant developments by the end of the month.
This oughta be posted in the TL section, so it's easier to read.
Well, it's not done yet, so I don't think we oughta jump the gun.

To All of My Readers

To all of my readers:

Thank you all so, so much for following Tail-Gunner in the Pilot’s Seat despite the Long Hiatus. Thank you for your comments, your critiques, and most of all your patience. This is my very first TL and it was begun when I was still wet behind the ears here at AH.com. Were it not for your constant support, I do not believe I could have done this, nor could I have grown as a TL creator.

This timeline isn’t just for me, it’s for everybody here. And looking back through my TL, through my countless notes and recently discovered treasure-troves on both McCarthy and the United States as a whole during such a trying time in her history.

That is why I cannot continue with this TL. New research along with a desire to truly flesh out the McCarthyverse not just politically and militarily, but culturally and socially has inspired me to overhaul the TL.

Some things will be the same, others will be very different. Updates may be slow at first as I am currently working on some side-projects, but I do promise that they will come, and they shall be better than those of this, the Beta version.

So with that, I gladly invite all of you to my new thread:

Best regards and again thank you all so much,

—Wolfpaw

Thank you Wolfpaw, I look forward to v2.0!:)

This TL was actually the inspiration for my first-ever TL, Years of Flames. In that timeline, Dick Cheney became president. The reason I wrote that TL was because, shortly after I joined AH.Com in May 2009, I saw that there was a TL on the board about Joseph McCarthy becoming POTUS in 1953. The idea struck me as so awesome, and this TL was so good that I thought to myself: What kind of alternate-POTUS dystopia could I do? So I came up with Dick Cheney becoming POTUS in 1995. Unfortunately, the TL didn't turn out that well, but still, it introduced me to writing TLs. So really, this TL is the reason I bothered to attempt at writing a TL at all. Thank you very much.:)
