What's your fic's place within the Universal Stream?

Hi.


As detailed at the TF wiki, the TransTech Cybertronians have a system for cataloguing the various timelines and continuity families - or 'universal streams' - they have encountered, though they seem to have quite a few more left to get around to!

Quote:
Each universal stream's name consists of three parts, beginning with a noun which refers to the continuity family of origin, a number that indicates the "real world" date of creation, and a Greek letter that denotes the form of media. For example, "Primax 984.0 Gamma" refers to the Generation 1 Marvel Comics continuity, with "Primax" referring to the Generation 1 continuity family, "984.0" indicating a publication date of September 1984, and "Gamma" denoting a comic book or manga series.

List of known continuity family indicators:

Primax - Generation 1 continuity family
Tyran - The live-action movie continuity family
Malgus - The Transformers Animated continuity family

Supplied by writers Greg Sepelak and Trent Troop, a list of Greek letters and the media to which they refer:

Alpha – Animated Series
Beta – Tech Spec/Toy/Pack-in Comic Only (“Box”)
Gamma – Comic Book/Manga Series
Delta – Motion Picture/Live Action
Epsilon – Club/Convention Fiction
Zeta – Text Stories, Storybooks and other prose works (printed)
Eta – Radio/Audiocentric Universes, Books on Tape
Theta – Live Performance / Spoken Word
Iota – Internet-Only Information (not involved with club/convention)
Kappa – Games (Video and otherwise)

Using this information, we could, in theory, determine the names of yet-unnamed universes on our own. For example, the Transformers Animated cartoon continuity would be Malgus 1207.26 Alpha.
So, if any of your fics have at least a provisional designation based on this list, what would it be?


EDIT: For my own part, Fate/Trans Form (which includes the Mosaic Avatar and other works of mine) has a provisional designation of Primax 307.23 Iota, while Worlds Distant would technically be in the same one as whichever designation Draven would have for Redemption, but as a written fic would be Primax 507.16 Iota.

Assuming I haven't messed those up, that is...


So, if your fic has a timeline, what is its designation?

Interesting. It'll be very helpful in my Transtech fanfic. If I'm using it correctly, the Maximals would be Primax 996.16. What about fresh continuities, like my Chronicles fanfic?

Edit: Primax 996.16 Alpha
