My TL Look to the West is written in prose style, like DoD for example, but I now want to make a date-based TL to go with it, to refer to. The link above shows the first part of it.

Basically I am appealing to anyone who reads my TL to insert any extra dates they notice in the text if I miss them out.

Also, to ask whether it would be a good idea to do this for other prose-based TLs.

Good idea, Thande! I'm working on a prose based TL myself, the Dystopic Return of Magic, and I think that would be a lovely idea for that TL as well. As I've said on two occassions now, good thinking.

I have since extended this to 1760 for my TL.

I'm going with that idea for my TL, updating it in realtime instead of large segments simply because it's a handy place to store the TL.
