Aside from the obvious, I was wondering what unforeseen, creative and quirky sociological and psychological trends might emerge in a human society where gender was variable and you could switch after sexual intercourse like the 2005 movie Zerophilia What are some of your ideas. You don’t have...

Realized SV didn't have this thread either, so putting up the links now. So, didn't realize until someone asked for links that I hadn't posted a compilation thread for links on SB. So I'm correcting that now. I'm going to go ahead and copy-paste my setting explanation from the BTech...

July 7, 1943 began as usual. Speer, Gobbels and Goering were summoned to the Chancellery to communicate information about the war and listen to the Führer's reactions. I am still not sure what Morell injected him with that day, but it must have been something stronger than usual. He kept...

"Stay in your place, you dirty animal!" the order was followed by a push that sent me crashing into one of the alley walls. Looking away from my attacker, I observed my surroundings: I was in one of the many alleys of Randgriz, the capital of the Principality of Gallia, which I had taken as a...

Here is an odd (I think) ISOT idea: Modern day Balearic Islands (or perhaps just some of Balearic Islands) ISOT into 210 BC. Except it is not our 210 BC, but one in which Romans failed to take Capua, Hannibal decisively won Battle of Numistro, and is about to besiege Rome itself. In other...

Basically, I want to do a more dystopian US, that leads to a cyber-punk-esque near future (2030s), with a focus on climate change and computer technology (because that's what I'm good at lol). My current PoD is that Brezhnev pulled a Reagan. To be more specific, during the '73 Arab-Isreali War...

I Alice screamed as she fell from her hammock onto the hard, dusty ground, her rifle still clutched in her arms. She was greeted by the beauty of a full moon over the California countryside. "Ngh… ow." Blinking, she watched as the tree she had been using as a bedframe swayed, but not because...
