Hello everybody.
On July 9, 2019, Ross Perot died at the age 89 after a battle with leukemia. Like many people, I mourned the maverick President we came close to having, and returned to A Giant Sucking Sound thread to both pay my respects, and revisit the world we might have lived in had Perot tempered his paranoia.
The TL was one of my favorites for its rich worldbuilding and depiction of popular culture. After seeing the touching tribute left to the Texan billionaire, I realized there were a lot of holes left unfilled.
So, I've started a fanfic thread of A Giant Sucking Sound, with @MaskedPickle 's permission of course, to both explore other ideas in the era of Perot, as well as give other people a chance to come up with new ideas of their own. Whether it is geopolitics, culture, travel, cuisine, I would love to hear what you guys have to say about the Perot era.
If you wish to contribute your own take on this new world, please follow these rules.
1. Whatever you write must not contradict the canon that @MaskedPickle has created.
2. Make references to other user's contributions (this is more of a suggestion, but it adds a sense of realism and world building to the thread).
3. @MaskedPickle has the final say on what is in the thread.
Alright, let us begin, shall we.
