So I am thinking about writing a TL (not for sure!) and would like some feedback on what the site would like in terms of a TL. Currently what I am interested in writing on is either:

1. A Fall of the Abbasid TL covering the entire end phase of the Caliphahe and explore the possibilities of other states from that gaining power such as a new Caliphate rather than the Saljuq-Fatimid-Byzantium three way Cold War that followed.

Or

2. A more detailed TL on the Zanj rebellion and (with my meager writing skills) delve into the ideology and give voice to the Zanj rebellion and add some elements to Ali ibn Muhammad's life not always elaborated on in historical sources and a surviving Zanj rebel state. If so, I would start the narrative around the reign of al-Muwattakkil (847-861) and the lessening of the inquisition (Mihna) of the Mu'Tazila and proceeding into the court life of the Abbasid all the way to the Zanj rebellion, whilst also speaking on other world events as it pertained to 9th century Iraq.

So yea feedback or advice!
