Much of the work here, even that from my college years, is really lousy by my current standards, and yes, I'm terribly embarrassed to let some of it see the light of day. However, I believe it can be useful not only to see how I've improved, but to keep in mind where I've come from--many of these stories I still believe have potential, if I could only find the time to rework them. You'll know these stories when you see them, by just how much of them was written before work was halted.
There are also many silly "fluff items" to be found among the more serious material. Seeing as there's so much to be found here, I've tried to break it up a bit to make it easier to find related works, though some stories may fall into more than one category.
There is a LOT more to come to this page, so keep checking back.
