POD: 500 AD. 527 AD The room was comfortable and well lit but functional, a tasteful but modest desk sat in one corner while the rest of the shelves were lined with books, many thought the man sitting at the desk couldn't read or write and he was content to let them go on thinking that...

Medieval Peasants didn't bathe. This is an out-dated carry-over from the Victorian Era and has about as much historical truth as the Marvel Zombies series. Medieval people bathed just as often as we did (if not more) because for them bathing wasn't just a matter of keeping clean like it is...

I know that Grunge didn't have much to do with GNR's demise.:) Although, GNR did revive Hard Rock, maybe other bands follow their lead even after the Band goes pear-shaped?

Maybe the Emperor is obsessed with the idea of Atlantis so he sends a Fleet to find it?

Okay, so how does one end the cycle of War-Treaty/Sort of peace-War?

Doesn't that simply continue the cycle though? Of Persians and Romans signing a Treaty and then having peace for a few years before someone breaks it and then they both go to war again until they're exhausted and a third power rises and puts the hurt on both. Like it did IOTL. And let's say...

Okay, so I'm doing an Eastern Roman TL where Belisarius wins at Callincinium (A draw OTL) and it's a great Roman victory. Justinian orders to Belisarius to follow up on this and take as much Persian territory as possible. Reinforcements are on the way in the form of Roman troops...

Would GNR even be able to hold on any longer than they did? They were falling apart by then and had been for some time.

An Asteroid and a dust cloud, followed by plagues from the corpses and an earthquake from the impact with in turn causes massive storms and tsunamis. And then volcanoes start going off. Does that answer your question?

Well, keep Rap out the limelight would be a fair trade for a world with Aerosmith, methinks :p

Eh, not really.

What about Richard Dean Anderson as Kirk? I know it's a somewhat unusual choice but I think he'd be pretty good at it and surely he'd have time when he wasn't doing SG1 Episodes.

Thanks! And yeah, Belisarius and Co. aren't real happy with this idea. ;)

Comments? Anyone?

531 AD As quickly as it began it was over, the Savaran's retreated and the Romans pulled up as the bugles rang out, grabbed fresh lances and reformed. Quintus blinked stinging sweat out his eyes and looked over the field where fallen horses and men lay piled together on the blood-soaked...

Yeah, it's Callincium, but I figured that at this point in time, from the POV of a roman cavalryman it would 'that hot dusty mess in Persia.' :D

I would just like to thank you all for all your critique, advice, suggestions and help. ;)

Yes, yes I am. It added nothing to plot and frankly it was just kind of silly. Having a lesbian character doesn't guarantee that a character will be an interesting one or guarantee that it will improve the book.

The first attempt at this (after some inevitable and much needed corrections, thanks for all the advice everyone) went over pretty well but I wasn't satisfied with it and felt it was too dry to be much fun. Warning: This will be full of gory, brutal, graphic and appalling war violence along...
