So I've been thinking of doing this after watching headlines about the Hawaiian and Guam missile scares and the North Koreans building a shrine to one of their missiles. Its an eighties nuclear war POD but its more about the West Virginia Greenbrier Hotel based successor federal government in the early nineties trying to reconquer the West Coast, Florida and other places. The Greenbrier government is effectively a military junta with some aged senators for places that no longer exist in there. I wanted to have much of Oregon taken over by the Rajneeshee cult of the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country. I wanted LA's ruins to have undergone the apunkalypse and be run by a collective of 80s punk rockers initially led by Darby Crash from the Germs, who used Scientology brainwashing techniques on his punk gang Circle One in OTL. Circle One takes over large parts of LA's wrecked suburbs until Crash is assassinated and Exene Cervenka and Viggo Mortenssen who were married in OTL for a while take over leadership. Maybe have a surviving Pablo Escobar in Miami too. Anyone think is worth doing?

Fascinating timeline; I'm currently writing an AH comedy thriller set in an alternate 1980's very like OTL, which is the first book in an intended trilogy; the good guys are a group of mainly straight-acting gay friends who have to survive the trickery and general mayhem placed in their path by a couple of powerful but very camp gay gangs who effectively hold the imaginary city of Allenby (On an imaginary island off the south coast of Ireland) to ransom. These gay gangs consist mainly of hairdressers, camp thespians, male nurses and assorted other camp stereotypes such as air-stewards, care workers, 'butch' lesbians and drag queens whose turf is based in the various gay bars around the city. Even though I am only halfway through it, it really is something hilarious, and I'll keep everyone posted as things progress with the work. FYI to reassure everyone I am myself gay and also the best known drag queen in Sheffield, England, where I live. I originally actually thought up the novel from my own personal experience of the genuinely cutthroat nature of so many 'gay scenes' around the country with bitchy twinks, club managers, drag queens, etc.
