List of Alternate Presidents 2.0.

[shearsforest]

I'll kick things off by showcasing We Shall Overcome, the very scenario I've been working on and off on for the past... well, it began in October 2023 so the past few months.

This reads like an Oscars thank you speech, but I'd like to thank Hal Jordan of AH.com for inspiring the creation of this piece. The full list can be found on that site. Due inspiration, especially, to allthekingsmen (i.e. allthepresidentsmen) for his timelines, which also lent some inspiration. Bunch of other people I've gotta thank, too, for inspiring segments of this piece — Rillium, AstroRangerBeans, Orchard, Reagent, Addemup, The British President, Just Rebecca (MisterAnemone on Sufficient Velocity), and SomeGuyOnline.

As it stands, though I've been revising and revising this puppy since first working on it, the presidential list:

discovered the picture used to represent her is that of Zoey Deutch, actress and daughter of Lea Thompson of Back to the Future fame. The age difference between McCoy in 2031 (~33-34) and Deutch in 2017 (when that picture was taken, 22) made me want to make this:

For varying reasons, Deutch is no longer McCoy's faceclaim; that'd be Nicole Maines, who is an actual transgender actress.

That makes sense; Maines makes more sense as the faceclaim too. Still, dermatologists hate her!

They won't hate her as much when they find out that her revised version in We Shall Overcome, my current timeline, was born in 2006.
