User blog:Firesofdoom/Community Timeline

So, clearly there has been a lot of chatter on the subject of community TLs, mostly relating to the reforms which seem to be pushing through quite well. In any case, I have created this blog as a place for users to give PoD ideas for a community TL, and hopefully eventually start one. To start the ball rolling, here are my ideas.


 * 1) 1883: Doomsday: So apparently, http://www.the-american-interest.com/2012/11/23/how-the-world-almost-ended/ The World almost ended in 1883.] Of course, you're probably thinking "is Fires stupid? Doesn't he know we have a 1983: Doomsday timeline?" well first of all yes, I am stupid(also annoying) and yes, I do realize we have another DD TL. But that one is pretty much fleshed out, and this will give us a nice scenario to play with plus some more time. #Unnamed Anglo-France Union TL: Basically, during the First Barons war, King John never dies, and thus the Barons never betray Louis. This leads to Louis becoming the King of England, and eventually inheriting France, effectively merging the two kingdoms. Somewhat more original than 1883, though perhaps harder to write about.
 * 2) Unnamed Mexican-American War TL: America annexes Texas earlier, resulting in an early Mexican-American war, that in this TL is won by the Mexicans. this leads to a different fate for north America, as well as the rest of the world(That sounded Melodramatic). Anyway, this is probably a pretty good option, as most of us have at least limited knowledge on the subject, and it sounds like fun.

those are just my ideas, and some are probably at least a little bit implausible. Now, don't be shy, comment your own ideas, they can't suck as much as mine!
