These stories should be read in the order shown.

The stories marked with an * in the description are not really part of the series, they are included because they make reference to the same characters and if you hope to make any sense of this stuff, you should read everything that we were originally posting to the Usenet groups these first appeared in. :)

Also, I'll have to apologize for the formatting of these stories. They start life as ancient word documents and various conversion attempts to HTML or TXT files really screw up the formatting.

I also need to thank somebody who has become involved with this saga of his own free will. In the summer of 2004 a new fan of the stories, someone who also happens to be an editor, figured out how to contact me and offered his services free of charge to try and clean up the stories. Ok, he's already demonstrated a lack of taste by even reading this stuff and offering to edit it free of charge confirms he's of questionable sanity. However, Thank You Jon Williams, I doubt you know what you've gotten yourself into.

Stories that Jon has edited are marked with a % in the description. Show older versions
