    EBOOK RELEASE: If We'd Just Got That Penalty

    But Gary also contributed a story, so Gary is a made up pseudonym of David, who submitted a story to David, who's the rest of the authors, who are also the editor, who...

    Mundial: An alternative history of the Football World Cup

    "Scotland and Wales running roughshod over the Rest of Europe right now- but wait, here comes England!" "Yeah, but whose side is he on?"

    Mundial: An alternative history of the Football World Cup

    Slightly disappointed we didn't get Bloody Assassin of the Workers vs. Scum of the Earth in the finals but hey ho. And interesting nugget that I think has relevance if anyone wanted to do a Team GB at the World Cup AH. I'm half suspecting there will be a UK, or at least GB, team when the Home...

    EBOOK RELEASE: If We'd Just Got That Penalty

    And might have landed it in a different category of book.

    Non-Trek Worldbuilding 2: Galaxy Quest.

    I read it via laptop, which is where I always read them before commenting properly.

    Non-Trek Worldbuilding 2: Galaxy Quest.

    Coincidentally, was watching the documentary First Person Shooter yesterday and it was mentioned that some of the costumes for Joanna Dark in Perfect Dark were lifted directly from UFO.

    Non-Trek Worldbuilding 2: Galaxy Quest.

    Explaining why Galaxy Quest has worldbuilding makes an important point about that particular facet of storytelling that it doesn't need to be some ancient lost continent or far-flung alien civilisation to do worldbuilding. Some of the best I've ever seen is in the film The Outlaw Josey Wales and...

    EBOOK RELEASE: The Scottish Anthology

    Vote of thanks to @Lord Roem for, as usual, great cover art. Exactly the expression I had imagined on the Highland coo at the point of nuclear annihilation, dignity and stoicism as in life. And vote of thanks to @M_Kresal whose story was the source of the imagery.

    An Alternate History of Horror XVIII: Onryō

    And I would just like to reiterate, whilst all this was going on there existed a Korean horror film that was set in Vietnam during the Vietnam War and even featured American characters yet never seems to have got a look in for an American remake!

    An Alternate History of Horror XVIII: Onryō

    Just be thankful you didn't have to proofread between Ringu, Ring, The Ring, and Rings like poor @David Flin. You really think that aspect didn't go completely over the heads of anyone who saw the film and thought it needed an American remake? This is the era of Chris Evans as Kaneda, after all.

    Alternate History and Sport: Alternate Leagues

    Interesting note on the USFL antitrust settlement cheque: by 2009 it had worked its way into the possession of producer/director Mike Tollin, who made the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL? (2009). During the film he interviews Trump about the league and tries to...

    The Alternate Lavender Island: Guest Charles EP Murphy

    Nice to see a couple of online originals make an appearance in the list. I also like the choice of Life's Lottery, which I don't think I would have considered as AH until having it presented as such.

    Alternate History and Stargate. Part 8.

    The (final) death of Apophis makes for a big demarcation point for SG-1, now we really step up the seeding of the Ancients, ascension, and Anubis. The seemingly disparate elements that go towards that build stand in stark contrast to the introduction of the Ori in later seasons, which is all...

    Things that look like alternate history but aren't

    That's also how they won the space race. All the major sports leagues are organised on Soviet lines too.

    Sport and Politics: The Olympic Games, Part 4

    Avery Bundage sounds like the name of a mean woodwork teacher. Instinctively would not trust.

    60 Years of Doctor Who. Part 8: The Eighth Doctor.

    The BBC said we have dinosaur Doctor Who book covers at home.

    60 Years of Doctor Who. Part 8: The Eighth Doctor.

    Never read much of the EDAs, have to say the ongoing arc across dozens of novels put me off. Felt the covers didn't entice the way that the Virgin books did too, going mostly for abstract images as opposed to giving you an idea of the spectacle within. "Anji, didn't you notice anything odd...
