Anyone want to do a collaborative Khazar TL?

So lately, I've been obsessed with making a Khazar TL. I know what I want for the PoD, I know most basic details, and I know what probably will be changed immediately. However, I have never written a TL before (my one or two failed, few update TLs aside), so I need some help. I'd like to make this a collaborative TL.

I'm doing this in a thread, because I don't know the Khazar experts on these forums, if there even are any for that matter. Otherwise, I would PM them.

So anyone up for this? Oh, and you'll need a little knowledge on the nation of Georgia circa 960 AD/CE (whatever).
 
I'm no Khazar expert but I've read some papers written on the Steppes around 1000 AD and I wouldn't mind helping. If you want, PM me.
 
I had once planned on writing a TL about the Khazars, too. I have a lot of written notes about the Khazars (and the rest of the world, for that matter) c. 850-1000. Plus a few books that can be used as sources. I'd love to help you out in any way I can, but in preparation for college I don't think I can commit to writing a TL. Apologies. :eek:

Thanks to MNP, Gustavus Adolphus, and rcduggan for the offers to help. You have all been responded to in PMs.

Are there others that want to offer their help in helping me utilize info about the Khazars more effectively?

Yeah, I'd be happy to help. I have an aborted AAR on the Paradox forums with some good source materials, if you're interested.

I also recommend a 1969 "History of the Jewish Khazars" by Dunlop, and perhaps for fun background, "Gentlemen of the Road" by Michael Chabon.

Oh, I remember reading that a few months ago! Good stuff. Anyways, Thanks for the reading advice, and I'll tell you my intentions for the Khazars in a PM.
