Sorry for this intrusion into your journal, but I'm here on Killabeez suggestion that you would be a good source for Alexander fiction recs. I've been to the usual places on LiveJournal ( alexanderfics, etc.) but was wondering if you knew any good stories or authors who post mainly on their own journal sites that would be a bit harder to track down without inside info. Any help or hints would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry to say, there's not a lot. And I'm more of a website, as opposed to LJ, sort of person; mainly because it's easier to save the stories from a regular webpage. :-) But most of the writer's LJ user names can be found on atgstories. Here's a few urls to sites I know of. And as far as writers, I'd say one of the best is Hephaistion the Writer. Here's his website:

Also, Chantrea's work is pretty good.

So is Trust No 1's.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post these links for me. I found some authors I was not aware of! It is surprising to me too that there isn't more in the Alexander the Movie/Mary Renault verse! There's such a wealth of material there especially with the Alexander/Hephaistion relationship, so complex even by comtemporary standards. If I were a writer...but unfortunatly (or fortunatly for the unwary reader) I'm not. Thanks again!
