6	!!''The Almanac Chronicles'' contains examples of:
7
8	* AbusiveParents: It is implied that George's father was this to him. [[spoiler:And George himself becomes one.]]
9	* AdaptationExpansion: This fan fic provides a deeper look into the 1985-A timeline and gives perspective on numerous things, like: George's death, Doc being sent to the mental hospital, the rise of Biff Co., etc.
10	* AlternateHistory: This IS a world where Biff got to keep the Almanac after all...
11	* BittersweetEnding: Doc has been so traumatized by his time in the mental hospital that "[h]e can never recover who he was", but Lorraine manages to get a happy ending [[spoiler:by marrying Cliff]]. Also, [[spoiler:Biff is dead]].
12	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Biff and [[spoiler: George]] become these.
13	* ForegoneConclusion: The movie made it clear that by 1985 in this timeline, George is dead and Doc was sent to the mental hospital. Don't be expecting nice things to happen to them here...
14	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The reveal that ''Film/RoboCop1987'' still exists in this timeline. [[spoiler:It is to be assumed that Alex died the same way in this version...]]
15	* HuntingAccident: [[spoiler:Lorraine and Cliff arrange this kind of death for Biff.]].
16	* MeaningfulEcho: When Biff married Lorraine, he stated "third time's the charm". [[spoiler:After killing Biff, she eventually married his son from a previous marriage, Cliff, and repeated Biff's line.]]
17	* MythologyGag:
18	** Megan Eileen Garber, Biff's first wife, was named after Marty's mom from the first two drafts.
19	** Stephanie Zimbalist played the role of Anne Lewis in this timeline's version of ''Franchise/RoboCop''. In RealLife, Stephanie Zimbalist had originally been cast in ''Film/RoboCop1987'', but dropped out because ''Series/RemingtonSteele'' was renewed.
20	** [=BiffCo's=] corporate headquarters is at 1640 Riverside Drive, where Doc Brown's mansion had been before it burned down.
21	* PreMortemOneLiner: [[spoiler:Lorraine says "Party's over, Biff" before shooting him.]]
22	* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Biff]] is killed in a similar manner to Alex Murphy in ''Film/RoboCop1987''.
23	* ShownTheirWork: accurate with respect to geography, as well as real world history from 1958 to [[spoiler: November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy is ''not'' assassinated due to a side effect of Biff's fortunes ]].
24	* TheCorrupter:
25	** Biff was this to [[spoiler: George]].
26	** Carmine Ciccone might have corrupted Biff even further.
27	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: George]], who embezzled money from [=BiffCo=].
28	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: About the one detail of 1985-A the fic doesn’t explain is how Nixon managed to get 4 terms and seek out a fifth in a post 22nd amendment world.
