Yet another idea for a story: The Last Showdown in South Africa

Apartheid falls apart violently rather than peacefully. Rather than get involved, the rest of the world at first stays out. But, eventually, others join in. Whether the 'good guys' would win or the 'bad guys' would, it depends.
This would take place in the early 90s after the USSR fell.

Reminds me of Larry Bond's Vortex, which was an entertaining book, though the story kept the Cold War framework.  A violent end to apartheid is an underexplored AH premise.

Not a story but a idea i have for shared world, it goes like this, the Netherlands is transported to a virgin Earth (with some surprises), i play as the Netherlands, anybody can join by and play either as a country embassy, organization ore group who wants to settle somewhere on Earth, those person ask the Netherlands (that would be me) a question ore request (like funding, support ore something) in establishing a new place for them to live in, the Netherlands counters that ore accepts that and with it a new month passes and so we can build a entire new world (with the Netherlands being the big power helping others).

I like the idea but what could embassies do on their own? They are manned primarly by pencil-pushers who sit in an Office all, not construction workers who know how to build a house.

For fanfic i have my version of the Spiderverse saga, instead of fighting the Multidimensional parasite, Peter or a council of Peter form the Spider-Army to launch an omniversal liberation campaign against various evildoer; world target as objective include MC classic like 'Old Man Logan', 'Killraven' or 'Days of the Future Past' but also other saga, like , DC earth-3, Millar's Wanted, Drakaverse, Waid's Empire, Uber, The Authority and other dystopia.
The opening scene will be in the intern of a poorly illuminated pseudo-scifi room with Wesley (the idiot psycho protagonist of Wanted) bloody and battered being forcibly transported towards a ring by two costumed figure, he is kicking and screming that they don't know who he is and they will pay for this indignity...only to be throw through the ring uncerimoniusly and sent in gulag-like settlement with an enourmous sign with something like 'The work will set you free' wrote in . The entire place it's manned by spider-slayers and version of the living brain, we can see there version of classic low and medium tier marvel and dc villain, characters from other companies like Dredd, Baron Ashura (from Mazinger) or Blofed, but the gazing it's suddenly interrupted by a classic spider-slayer with the face of J.J.Jameson on his torso, that without much gentleness throw Wesley in the camp, saying: welcome to the rest of the days of your life.
The idea is a classic 'who's that fight monster, risk to become one', with Peter or King Spider after a too prolonged contact witht the web of life and destiny that had showed him all the various hellworld and badguys of the omniverse, deciding that enough it's enough and to bring 'With Great Power must also come Great Responsability' to the final conclusion and accept responsability for the entire creation and world will receive help...even if they won't.

One idea that I once had was an isot of a powerful Dutch empire (having won a graater victory in the eighty years war and having all Dutch provinces and a large colonial empire) to our world just as the first world war breaks out. It would be a republic and the Arminians would have won out on predestination, so it would really be different. But mostly an excuse for a whole lot of dreadnoughts pounding each other to scrap metal.

It might be. But it might also be because sometimes we just have to put on a nice hat and shoot at English ships.
