Oh and I recommend the Handmaid's Tale, I haven't seen the series (yet) but I read the book a while ago. To make a fanficiton of it seems wildly inappropriate and disturbing though.
It's more the bystanders I'm after. The Trumpsters/alt-rightist are the props, though I have seem to have a decent dialogue with a few, which is also important as we might be entering a post-Trump era, be it in 4 years or 4 weeks.

I suppose I will eventually read the book and watch an episode or two. I saw the movie years ago.

There's a fair amount of THT fanfiction—mostly Luke-June-Nick-Serena-Fred fru fru. I like writing about Gilead being pushed around as it likely would be by Russia, China, and NATO. I figure China's invested in perhaps $2 trillion in American paper and they'll want their money back. Also much of the developing world will be pissed at Gilead for the nuclear winter, and a few of those countries have their own nukes.

I like this one simply for the title and premise:

My curreny fav's:
The Fall of Gilead
Words: 403

We know the story of Offred the handmaid in Gilead. Through her we know what Gilead was like. But what of the rest of America? Other Digital archeologists discovered Journalist Chloe of CBC's 'The Fifth Estate' transcript of her meeting with General Cobb of the Republic of Texas. Its a thought provoking look into why we didn't fall into nuclear fire. (hulu not book)


My thread that a fan stretched the first of 2 pages of:
Should I bother reading and/or watching The Handmaid's Tale?
I included lots of pics, particularly as I'm working on a crossover.

If the US was this densely populated, it'd be about as populated as China—think 5x America's current population.

Sorry. You’re not ever getting my vote.

He probably would have done the Democrats a bigger favour by running as an independent, like Perot. It's kinda how Trump won the 2016 primary and with it the election.
