  1. Vignette Collection: Worlds At War Vol. 2

    A bit over two years ago, I took a break from my normal work, opened up old notebooks and files, and put together a series of one shot scenarios set in a series of divergences focused on the Second World War.

  6. Soft WI: Potential Australian Quisling/Petain

    First thing first, this is far more a literary question then a hard AH thing. Honestly I don't see any point in the Second World War where Australia is plausibly going to be throwing in the towel once the Pacific War Starts.

  15. AH Vignette: Rotten-Oak George

    The riotous mob, in spite of their racial handicaps, cheered the former President as they passed his downtown mansion on their way to lynch more negroes.
