Hello fellow AH.com readers and contributors,

It has been over a year since I first joined the site and a bit longer since first lurking about the forums. Since joining, I have hinted towards creating a timeline of sorts on several occasions. Due to various reasons, I have not posted one as of yet. I am hoping to change this and have something posted before year's end. Even though I spend the majority of my time here on the Before 1900 forum, I am not sure what the readers would be interested in. Because of this I have decided to start a poll to help determine my focus. Surprisingly enough, each of the options have a POD within a 50 year time frame (1580-1630).

I appreciate any feedback and constructive criticism. If there are any questions, I will answer to the best of my ability (without too many spoilers) and in a timely manner.
 
I voted for the Ivan IV mainly because I've never seen a timeline about him and it seem quite interesting and the fact that I know more of Russian than Ottoman history.
I wish you good luck for your future writing endeavour.

Thank you. To be honest I am a bit surprised that there is not a timeline about him and the prospect of his son surviving. Like the others, the POD has a lot of potential.
 
Voted for Murad IV: the timeframe seems apt to correct or even reverse the trend of stagnation and eventually decline that affected the Ottomans after their acme in the mid xvi century.

Also, we are overdue for a great Ottoman TL.

I posed a similar question (something a bit less specific compared to the poll) to a friend that I work with as well. After reading a bit on it, they had asked why not go with Murad IV dying as in OTL but have the order for Ibrahim to be killed carried out?

I told them while having a Giray on the throne would be interesting I think that it would be more interesting to change the fortunes of the Ottomans.
 
Voting for Ottoman stuff to see a bigger Ottoman age of expansion

Ottoman empire in the Indian Ocean for the win!
 
At this point, it looks like the timeline that would involve Russia has a healthy lead over the other two options. Things could definitely change though if I keep the poll open for the originally intended length of time.
 
Adjusted the time that the poll will end. The poll will conclude in approximately 24 hours. Despite the lead that the Russian topic has over the others, I might post something in the future about the other options since it seems that there is some interest in the other topics.
