Personally I think, both with how DLC's can forward the story around the Thalmor and a second war AND with how The Elder Scrolls Online will probably make the 2nd era very popular, that a TES6 will either be pre-Skyrim, or happening elsewhere but simultaneously (for all we know there are more Dragonborns, as the Greybeards hinted they do not know how many Dragonborns there are besides the player, if there are more).

With TES Online the franchise will probably have a different face for all the new generations of gamers that will surface in the next few years. But alternately, perhaps going on to a 5th era or late 4th era is a way to differentiate a Singleplayer TES from TES Online.

As for you writing fanon, a real good idea might be to read the TES novels. They can give a feel of what happens in a day-to-day life in the world of TES. :) I'm not sure how many they are. Nice initiative you have going on though, hope it works out for you.

If you are turning it into a mod, always be prepared that companies such Bethesda and Zenimax may give you an order to cease-and-desist. Especially with TES Online being in the make. Some game companies crack down even on fan mods, such as Infogrames did a lot in the past.
