| Pkmatrix is the author of the incomplete FH timeline, [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=50540|Earth: 2001 to 2150]], which describes a future where the balance of power has become multipolar, space development has led the to establishment of colonies on the Moon, and the collapse of Communist [[China]] forces the formation of despotic Sino-Lunarian city states on the Moon's far side. He rebooted the timeline in early 2008 as [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=88319|History of the Future: 2001 to 2150]], but only reached 2030 before it stalled. In August 2010 he restarted it a second time as //**[[timelines:A Revised History of the Future| A Revised History of the Future (2001 - 2150)]]**// and so far has reached up to 2120. The timeline won [[http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/alternate_history/turtledove_awards?s[]=turtledove&s[]=awards|Best Continuing Modern/Future History in the 2012 Turtledove Awards]] and [[http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/doku.php/alternate_history/2013_winners|Best Continuing Future History in the 2013 Turtledove Awards]].

He also is the author of the sporadically updated fan novella [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=72686|The Race, but not their Empire, ISOT to OTL 2007]], in which the Race is teleported to the Real World in October 2007 and are forced to deal with not only suddenly being the weakest power on Earth, not only the sudden overwhelming strength of Real World nations, but also the revelation that they were only characters in a series of science fiction novels, implying that they may be the only survivors of their species. Social and political troubles ensue. After a three year hiatus, the story was last updated in September 2014. | He is the author of the abandoned fan fiction [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=71105|Worldwar: Shock and Awe]], a reversal of the Worldwar storyline in which advanced spacefaring Humans of the 22nd century invade the Race's homeworld, which is in the midst of a World War fought with early Cold War technology.
