The Timeline Directory

[Psychic Octopus]

There's no need for an inactive list, IMO.

Perhaps, but then we wouldn't have excellent TLs such as Marokai's and Lief's in the directory.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Psh, it was very good. If you want to read horror, read my first one.

I respectfully disagree.  It is only good in comparison with my William Henry Harrison attempt.

I don't think I've ever read that one. Can you link?

Here is my secret shame.

It wasn't half-bad. May I ask where you were going to take it?

Could I get a link, NiK?

[justW353]

For some reason, my TLs never seem to gather a lot of interest (at least not comments).  

As for that "shame", it's not bad.  

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I have no idea.  I never know how my timelines are going to end, until I finish them.  I may come back to that one, eventually.

Interesting. That's actually the opposite of what I usually do; I plan out the beginning and the end, and then work my way through the middle.

Why do you think it's bad?  I like it.

I think it was flawed in structure; I barely created butterflies, and I think I could have been more creative.

If I wrote it now, I would have had the Cuban Missile Crisis butterflied out, and had the Bay of Pigs be a success.

Also, I had JFK die in November for no apparent reason.

Yeah, that's been my main problem in writing TLs.  I have trouble creating the butterflies.

In one TL, I had no Great Depression, a drastically different view on Southeast Asia (which was capitalist), and still the world was pretty much the same.  I was totally clueless as to how to reflect the butterflies.

I hope to change that with my most recent TL, but I don't know.

Anyways, besides JFK getting killed for no reason, I thought it was a lot better than other ones I've seen.

What are "butterflies"?

Well, yeah, but it can't do everything.

[justW353]

What are "butterflies"?

The butterfly effect.  The theory (well, it's proven science, but...) that all actions regardless of size can affect the future substantially.

For example, if Bobby Kennedy hadn't been assassinated, Barack Obama would never be President.  Bobby Kennedy would have been elected President in 1968, meaning Gerald Ford would never be President, meaning Jimmy Carter would never be President, meaning Ronald Reagan would never be President, meaning George H.W. Bush would never be President, meaning George W. Bush would never be President, meaning Barack Obama would never be President.

It's a very interesting and complex concept.  The ripples are usually far more subtle than that.

Oh, now I get it. Thanks.

I can't put any more TLs on my first post, because my first post is about to exceed the character limit. I'm sorry.

Obama could have been elected President had RFK lived. The Presidential list would have probably looked differently, but since Obama was born before RFK's assasination, it wouldn't have affected his existence and if his carrer went the correct way, he could have still ended up in the Oval Office.
