Wow, no clarity at all! I like it!
Well obviously I'm going to let this run for a while, but the biggest problem with some of these ideas follows:
1-Recent TLs are very short and thus have minimum butterflies.
2-Some PODs are really neat, but once you get past a certain point the TL looses it's point almot. Very few writers can pull this off (Historico, Kaljwet), and I probably can't.
3-Of course another issue is that my area of knowledge is strongest between post-WWII and now. I made a list of potential CSA presidents, but even then I had trouble in the begining.
Right now though, here are my personal ideas. Give me any feedback and keep giving me ideas.
1-South Wins Civil War BUT I don't start in 1865. Rather I profile a certain time. This could become a series, where I profile say, an election in the 1960s and then one in the 1980s
2-TR is the Republican in 1912. This is pretty sefl-explanitory, but the goal would be to have the Dems stay as conservative and the GOP as progressive, with perhaps a stronger Socialist party.
3-JFK Lives. I know I know, boring right. But I’ve always wanted to do it. There’s a strong possibility that I take some time off from the site (maybe in the spring or summer) and crank out a legit short novel about Kennedy’s second term, and then going into the future. Of course I would then publish weekly enstallments.
So there it is folks. Right now I’m leaning towards TR in ’12 as the GOP’s Bull Elephant.
I stand by my suggestions, but any of these would be interesting.
