Hilarious "forum thread from the future" where timetravel exists

[Haltingpoint]

While not quite steampunk, I'm sure many of you enjoy alternate history fiction like I do.  This is a hilarious short story that takes the form of a "forum thread from the future" in a time travelers forum.

Reporting my first temporal excursion since joining IATT: have just returned from 1936 Berlin, having taken the place of one of Leni Riefenstahl's cameramen and assassinated Adolf Hitler during the opening of the Olympic Games. Let a free world rejoice!

Take it easy on the kid, SilverFox316; everybody kills Hitler on their first trip. I did. It always gets fixed within a few minutes, what's the harm?

Enjoy!

"YOU ARE SAYING IMPUDENCE TO ME! THAT IS IMPUDENCE!"

Yes.

Luella I stayed up far to late wandering around that page.  I found it back when Cowboy Bebop first aired and then lost it during one of my computers temper tantrums and forgot all about it.  It feels odd to find pages from my early fandom days still kicking.

yeah, that page has been up for ages. it used to be one of those pages I'd check regularly. BBT is an amazing artist and I love reading Agent Orange's fanfictions. Hers are the only ones I like and I sometimes confuse them with actual parts to the series! XD

I love finding old websites that I used to frequent...I can really only think of three, two of which are down. 

Also, ever come across the websites that haven't been updated in like, 10 years? the format is hilarious!

[Stella Gaslight]

I was hopelessly addicted to her for a while I had nothing but BBT wallpapers on my computer for at least half a year and I still think she made one of the funniest amvs I have ever watched.   

Worse than finding the old web pages I have reread some of the fan fiction I thought was so good when I was younger and I just cringe at my lack of taste.  Why on earth did I think some of that was good?  Not to mention my own failed fan epics.  Thank goodness most of it has been lost to the sands of time.

[Klynt Mahryd]

Damn, that takes me back, I remember going to the Big Big Truck site and getting some kickass wallpapers and art for Cowboy Bebop.

that's still a great series. It would make for a great live-action movie. One of the few that would make the transfer to live-action pretty well. I'm dreading what will come out of the upcoming Dragonball Z live action movie. That one just does not compute. 

[Stella Gaslight]

Didn't they already make a live action dragonball z movie?  I totally remember seeing clips from it back when the planet namek was still in existence.  I will admit I was a DBZ fangirl ages ago and then my tastes improved or at least I like to think they did.

Yeah they did, and they're making a new one as well.

Who's betting on the movie being 15 hours long with people grunting and fighting for 3/4s of it?

Yes, I laughed myself into a stupor, then I took in a deep breath and the blood raced back to my head, suffice to say, Im all better now, peachy if you will.

[Cerridwen]

Awesome.

[jjpfeifferjr]

Since nobody spoke up about returning asianavenger to existence, it's sort of too bad Hong Xiuquan really existed (some very interesting reading about him on wikipedia, it turns out).  Consistency and all...

3/4ths? Whats the other 1/4, perverted comments from the old guy?

Probably...

And they cast Chow Yun Fat as the old guy....

[Sir Nikolas Vendigroth]

If the rules pertaining to killing Hitler weren't enforced, he'd be followed around by a mob! Not a mob of people wanting to kill him, but a mob of people fighting the others so that THEY could kill him.

I'm sure it will be hilarious. What's the odds of "over nine thousaaaaaaand" appearing in it?

I think we threadjacked this thread. Hmm.

Back to the thread..I've seen some threads in various forums where people talk in a proper fashion. i do belive that this should happen more often. What do you say, old chaps?

If they work in the "over nine thousaaaaand" line that alone will be worth it.  And you guys have it all wrong, it would be 1/4 fighting and 3/4 useless filler like the series.  I swear to god I just would sit there fast forwarding through half the episode most of the time to get to the good stuff.

And I just assisted in the thread-jacking of my own thread...I should be sacked (cue Monty Python-esque intro music).

Indeed, its the Etiquette thread

As this didn't happen, I can only make two suggestions:

There's a really good "time agent"-type group who tidy up the loose ends

or

By the time that temporal excursions become feasible, Hitler is an obscure minor dictator of several hundred years before. Nobody can be bothered to go after him as they're too busy warning their self of a few hours earlier that they're about to have a crash/blow it with a possible mate/burn their lunch.

I just found this on the chan of four...not that I'm there often or anything.

[BaronPablo]

This thread is awesome.

[Lazaras]

Noob...that's the whole point of the observational bylaws, and don't you EVEN think of trying to buy out on gold while it's 'cheap'. G0ldF1nger337 tried that stunt a few years back. Think he's still getting bounced around in legal.


now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go have lunch with Einstein.
