I've been thinking (for some time) about starting a series of TLs called the Hits and Misses. The first in this series is my current TL, the Arrow that Missed. This details the events of the battle of Senlac Hill after the arrow that mortally wounded Harold never hit him, leading to an English victory at Senlac Hill.

The next one would be called The Bullet that Missed. Before WWI, Annie Oakley, the American sharpshooter, once gave a challenge to a crowd. She said she could blow off the ash of the cigars that anyone was smoking. Kaiser Willem stepped up, and so she, nervously, took aim, and blew... well, OTL she hit the target, but ATL, she might have killed him. With his eldest son being merely 4 years old, the German EMpire fragments into Civil War. No WWI, or at least between completely different sides.

The next one, The Rock that Hit. In his childhood, a rock fell from the battlements of a castle, just about missing Edward I. And if it hit... Wales is never incorporated into England, Scotland and Ireland never fall, and when the Protestant wave comes, because England is weakened (and Catholic, as Ireland and Scotland would be the dominating forces here), Spain rules the New World, and the Protestants have no where to flee.

And so on, so forth. There is but one problem here. At the current rate I'm working on TATM, I should be finished around 2020.

I need someone to help here!
