    Ariosto's Works Repository
    Threadmarks: OP

    Over the many years I've been on AH.Com it has steadily become clearer to me that one of my major weaknesses in writing stories is.... writing the story itself. Certainly I can develop a concept or diagram on how I want things to go, I can't count the number of projects I have lying in folders...

    WI: An Even Earlier Possible Reconstitution of the "Rough Riders"

    Just something I came across while doing research for Wikipedia, and while it has been discussed in some capacity elsewhere, I'm not sure if it has ever been discussed as early as this, particularly as this would be during the late Winter, early Spring of 1911. Can't give my thoughts just now...

    African American Demographics Without The Great Migrations

    This is a question that I have been pondering for a couple of weeks, and not being familiar with migration patterns I am not sure how best to anwser it. The question itself, at length, is what the African American populations of the individual States be if the two Great Migrations didn't...

    Not Sure How to Graph This Data

    So I have a dataset (working off X's and Y's) that I am working on that I plan to use for a set of Wikiboxes, and I desire to split the data between nine points; the concept was to have a Venn Diagram with nine circles, one in the center and eight others on the compass points, from which I could...

    The United States as Canada (A Group Thought Experiment)

    So this is a concept that I had been working on for some time as my next "big" Project in terms of infoboxes and data-crunching, but I have had to admit to myself that I simply cannot do this project on my own and would need input and aid from our membership. What I had tried to do was run with...

    1876 US Presidential Election - Democratic Certified Results

    This is more of a question then a "what-if", but I figured it would be of interest to some given the difficulty I myself have had in finding the information, and that others who are more knowledgeable on such matters or may know where to look, like @David T , might possibly have the information...

    1856 Was Closer Than We Thought......

    Something I posted over on Wikipedia, but I thought it would be of interest to you lot as well, regarding the 1856 US Presidential Election. The end result would be rather anti-climatic as the Democrats held a clear majority of the State delegations by the time Congress would meet, but I...

    Curse of Caanan - 1864 US Presidential Election

    So to be clear from the get-go, I plan on designing and building a series of scenarios for President Infinity based around a Confederate Victory in the Civil War, though the map and conditions with be a mix of unique and cliche. That said, I want it to be as realistic as possible, with liberties...

    Need Help Creating a President Infinity Map

    So I'm drafting up a scenario for President Infinity while taking note of its flaws, but I've found that my artistic skills aren't up to par when it comes to making the region map, especially one that is meant to be wholly unique. To be clear I am envisioning a lengthy series of scenarios with...

    How many Leased Territories were discussed in China?

    I know five that actually came into being: The New Territories, and by extension the ceded area of Hong Kong, to the United Kingdom. The Liaodong Peninsula to Japan, then Russia, and then to Japan again. Kiautschou Bay to the German Empire, and then for a time Japan. Weihai under the United...

    President Forever Scenario: A New Spirit - 1980

    This is the first in a series of scenarios I intended to try and create, going from 1980 to around 2008; however it has rather quickly become clear that I cannot independently make these scenarios, even outside of testing, and so I am asking members of the board for help in their development...

    WI: Frank Borman as a Republican Pres. Candidate in 1980.

    Frank Borman, of Apollo fame (who turned down an offer to be the Commander of Apollo 11) and later the head of Eastern Airlines, was subject to some speculation as a potential Republican candidate for a number of various offices, up to and including the Presidency in the 1980 Presidential...

    William R. Hearst Runs Third Party in 1908

    In a series of books from the 70's on Presidential elections I found that Hearst, after being defeated for the Democratic nomination in '04, was determined to run as the nominee of some third party in '08, regardless of who the nominees were (though he long suspected he would facing at least...

    An Idea that Struck Me; MacArthur/Russell following the '52 election

    President Douglas MacArthur and Vice President Richard Russell elected following the 1952 Presidential Election. Personal opinions on what that might result? Something I've been mulling over, though I would like to avoid the how and why this would happen since it would be for a project here on...

    Benjamin Butler and the Fenians

    This was part of a rather limited TL I had in the Infoboxes Thread. Essentially, Butler becomes President after Lincoln's assassination while the attempt against his own life fails. The Fenian movement begins to pick up and, after meeting with Thomas Sweeny, agrees to unofficially support the...

    Discussion: Most Successful US Space Program Possible

    This is a build off of the Apollo 1 thread I had started earlier today, but this one is dedicated to its intended purpose; what sort of PODs would we require, going forward from 1958, that would allow for the development of a grandiose American Space Program (i.e. the aim being to enact the...

    WI: Apollo 1 Fire Avoided

    Fairly certain this has been done before, but................ For the sake of argument, lets say that from one of the many recorded incidents, NASA decides that a pure oxygen atmosphere within the Command Module is actually a bad idea. Or that it might be a good idea to run such a basic test...

    Nazi German Nuclear Project

    This is not a "WI: Nazis had Nukes" thread. I won't say that it will never amount to that in the end, but that largely depends on the conclusions that are drawn up as we go. What I wish to discuss is how we could make the German Nuclear Energy Program more successful, more effective, and how...
