History Fanfic / ANewWorld

An interesting fanfic project, ''A New World'' is an idea of what would happen when [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Azeroth]] meets ''our'' world. It can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6803330/1/A_New_World here]].

Not to be confused with {{FanFic/New World}}, with which it shares no similarities.
---------------------------------------------------------------
* BadassNormal: Hillary Clinton talking down two leaders warring against each other.
* BigDamnHeroes: The trio of [[{{Semper Fi}} Marines]] would have likely died fighting undead if a [[FiveManBand group of adventurers]] hadn't bailed them out.
* TheMagicGoesAway: The ambient mana on Earth is much weaker than in Azeroth. It doesn't make casting spells impossible for Azerothians, but casting is much more difficult on Earth.
* MythologyGag: As mentioned above, ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' in this world is replaced by "World of {{TabletopGame/Warhammer}}", perhaps a sly reference to how the original {{VideoGame/Warcraft}} was made after Blizzard's plans to make a Warhammer RTS fell through in RealLife.
* NuclearWeaponsTaboo: A Gnomish mage gets visibly upset when Barack Obama mentions [[NuclearOption nukes]] in front of him. [[JustifiedTrope Given what happened to Gnomeregan in the backstory, this is understandable.]]
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: When Rhonin's temper flares. "THAT'S IT! THE NEXT BEING TO ANNOY ME GETS [[KillItWithFire SET ON FIRE!]]
* RealPersonFic: Characters from Warcraft and the original Marine characters notwithstanding, many of the story's characters are RealLife politicians like UsefulNotes/BarackObama and Hillary Clinton.
* ShoutOut: A few.
** Some of the Marines are named after [[{{StarFist}} StarFist]] characters.
** Gelbin Mekkatorque claims that one mage or engineer is worth [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]] shamans.
** Looks like [[Series/ThirtyRock Dr. Leo Spaceman]] has moved up in the world.
* StrawmanPolitical: Completely averted. American politicians from both sides of the political spectrum are featured and each have their own legitimate concerns about the portal to Azeroth
* UnEqualRites: Before the American delegation arrives in Azeroth, Garrosh gets into an argument with Rhonin and Gelbin about the effectiveness of shamans versus mages.
* WhatTheHellHero: A Night Elf rogue decides to test the competency of the Secret Service by faking a possible threat. Her party leader called her out on the stupidity of her little stunt, though.
* WrongGenreSavvy: One of the Marines instantly starts aiming for headshots when he realizes his team is fighting zombies, and encourages the others to do the same. However, the fact that Azeroth's [[TheUndead undead]] work differently from the kind in zombie movies works against him.

* CelebrityParadox: In this fic, there is no ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' game on Earth, but World of ''Warhammer'' in order to prevent the Earth humans from instantly knowing everything about Azeroth.

* RealPersonFic: Characters from Warcraft and the original Marine characters notwithstanding, many of the story's characters are RealLife politicians like Creator/BarackObama and Hillary Clinton.

* {{Badass}}: The [[{{Semper Fi}} U.S. Marines]] certainly count.
** So does the Secret Service.
