I've developed writter's block while working on `Tis Time To Part, and while I'm still trying to figure out how to move on from where I am stuck I started sketching out an idea for a no 9/11 TL. What I'm looking for are both events and happenings that happened because 9/11 took place and events and happenings that would have taken place had 9/11 been adverted. As a few examples, both wide ranging and small and across a wide field of areas:
Films such as Men in Black II, Lilo and Stich, and The Time Machine would not have been edited or delayed in release, while Jackie Chan's Nosebleed would have at least stood a chance at developement.
American sports, especially MLB, NFL, and college football would not have had their schedueles altered or partially cancelled. Minor league baseball would have had champions decided by playing games instead of records. The Super Bowl in New Orleans would have kept its original logo. Specifically for NFL fans to chew over is the potential that Tom Brady does not becoming the starter for the Patriots.
The Emmys, Grammys, and other award shows would not have been delayed.
Specific TV show episodes, such as The Simpson's "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", Hey Arnold!'s "Married", and Cowboy Bebop's "Cowboy Funk" would not have been removed from rotation due to either the use of the Twin Towers or similarities between the attacks on 9/11 and depictions in the shows.
No changes to Microsoft's Flight Simulator
The band My Chemical Romance would not have been founded; lead vocalist and co-founder Gerard Way was working in NYC as an intern for Cartoon Network during the attacks, afterwhich he decided to move from art to music as a way to see the world and live life
Closer to home for me personally, it is possible that my high school history club would have been able to finish the "Civil War Binders", a list of every individual from our county who fought in the Civil War, their fate, and where they are/were burried; as a result of 9/11 and the following fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq we abandoned these efforts to building war memorials to those we lost from the county to go along with simular memorials for WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
Really at this point I am looking for anything and everything, either grand scale or closer to home. I want to try and depict a realistic post 9/11 world without the 9/11. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
