Well they're not so secret anymore now, blabbermouth.



Agreed though, Middle-Earth and the world of the Hyborian Age are supposed to be Earth in an alternative history.

Game of Thrones is clearly a different planet.

The worlds of The First Law and Warhammer are alternative Earths.

Narnia, Wonderland, Neverland and Oz are alternative realities with links to the real world.

Probably.

QuoteAn alternative contemporary setting where an American based fascist movement that uses  YMCA as a marching song threatens to attack Denmark.
However, that isn't at all believable

Yes if they had gone for Panama or Canada instead it could be credible.

Talking of Hounslow

There is a curry house there a friend referred to as 'Honeymoon in Hounslow'* which sounds like a terrible Mills and Boon!

*Yes, it is related to the new Honeymoon that opened in Aylesbury.
