I went ahead and made a list of hypothetical presidents of the Confederate States of America, starting with the ones I found suggested in alternate history fiction. After that, I finished the list by looking up the most popular candidates from the former CSA in each US presidential election. The...

I came up with a plane for how Charles X of France and Philip III of Spain could deal with the question of Italy, now that France and Spain are ruled by brothers. They could each agree to give up their claims in Italy to another relative, and form a new Hapsburg Kingdom of Italy. My choice...

After the Goa'uld-Asgard War, I would have a few other problems to try and deal with, most of which will require support from my allies. There are lots of problems in the Milky Way Galaxy still that I would like to deal with, but most of them I have no simple solution for. The biggest is the...

Interesting, so you would try to leave history unchanged until the series starts, and then start changing things? That's not a bad plan. It has the advantage, if you can manage it, that a lot of events which were governed by random chance might still happen I forgot about the Atanik armbands...

I just realized, the solution to recruiting the Sodan and forming the Free Jaffa was staring me right in the face. They can incubate Tok'ra symbiots instead! Now that Egeria is spawning for the Tok'ra again, there will be enough immature Tok'ra symbiots for all the Free Jaffa soon (particularly...

I remember him. He is just one of the threats I don't have a magic solution for, and is too dangerous for me to try and confront directly. I would probably just tell the Tok'ra he is on Earth, and invite them to come there whenever they like to try and hunt him down

Here are some more thoughts on what would happen next in my altered universe. I may end up making this a timeline at some point. Maybe even a story, though I never seem to have time to write anymore. Once the Asgard destroy the Replicators, and solve their genetic deterioration (within about...

I'm not making an argument, I'm writing a description of an imaginary country. I'd love it if other people would write their own, since I'd like more opinions. You seem to have strong opinions which are different from mine. Would you like to write a description of what the Foundry nation would...

In the Stargate Novel "Four Dragons" Daniel Jackson learns that Yu has been sharing his body with his host, the original King Yu of China, since he first came to Earth

I wanted to mention, despite what the show seems to imply, I don't think it was the perspectives the Ori and the Ancients had before they Ascended that made them good or bad. The Ori (before they ascended) were apparently very religious, and the original followers of Origin (before it was...

The Ori keep their followers at a mostly medieval level of development (except when they need advanced technology for something). The Ori gain more power the more they are worshiped, so the entire society is structured around constantly worshiping the Ori for hours at a time, allowing just...

I'll offer an idea of something I think will happen The Ori empire in the Celestis Galaxy is doomed. Oh, it will persist for a while. When the fires of Celestis go out, the Priors will keep it top secret just like they did in the original timeline. Nobody but the head prior will be allowed in...

Nobody ever complain in SI stories that the character knows how to build a trebuchet, or how the four fields system works I could, but I think that is off topic. The point was the changes made to the history of the Stargate galaxy

History is generally the same until the 21st century. I will still know which inventions will be big hits, so I can invest in them, and where to find valuable mineral resources

I wouldn't be surprised if Thrawn arranges to depose Palpatine on his return. He essentially said at one point that he knew the Emperor was too evil and too crazy to lead the empire forever.
