[RPG] What happens if a Wizard casts Antimagic Field while under the effects of Time Stop

dnd-3.5espells

Another player in one of my games recently suggested an interesting tactic for capturing opponents inside an Antimagic Field: Doing it inside a Time Stop.

But, we are not sure what exactly what happens when you use your rounds of apparent time to cast an Antimagic Field whose area includes the caster.

There is one defined interaction between the spells:

You cannot enter an area protected by an antimagic field while under the effect of time stop.

But that leaves out the possibility that the Antimagic Field is created by the caster. So what happens?

I'd prefer answers that reference rules text.

It's Not as Much Fun as It Should Be

The range of the 9th-level Sor/Wiz spell time stop [trans] (PH 294) is personal. The 6th-level Sor/Wiz spell anti-magic field [abjur] (PH 200) says that "it prevents the functioning of any magic items or spells within its confines." Emphasis mine.

Thus the spell time stop is suppressed until the duration of the spell anti-magic field expires.
