Hey Zyobot,

I don't have any real timelines like that. You'll be able to find quite a few long posts of mine on AH.com but that's about it. (Interestingly, ancient history is less discussed on this site, it appears.)

As far as plans are concerned, here's my perennial wish to write an enormous timeline on Hephaistion and Alexander both living much longer, and Alexander's Empire thus growing even larger and ultimately being inherited by Alexander's adult son. It's called A Thousand Sunlit Years, which suggests how long the Alexandrian legacy will ultimately last. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to work on that for the better part of the last year.

Maybe I should just take the early parts, that only deal wth Alexander's ATL life and conquests, and edit that into a sort of "preview". It would be pretty alien to most readers, though, since I use in-universe vocabulary from the common tongue that's used in vast multi-cultural Empire which has existed for nearly a millennium by the time the "history" is supposedly written. (Daeres did something similar when writing a "Persia conquers Greece" TL on AH.com as you might recall. An absolute masterpiece, by the way -- much recommended.)

Not 'ancient' at all, but if and when my schedule clears up again, I'd like to write a series of scenarios that I tentatively call "Better Worlds?" -- which involves PODs that could create worlds that may be better than OTL. But obviously, as the question mark implies, I also explore the negatives. A key component there is that I'd like to defend the thesis that several things most people call "good" in history are actually bad, and several bad things/people could actually have major positive roles.
