I am the Al Rekrula who wrote Duo's Braid and Fires of Firenze more than 10 years ago. I found the two stories on my computer when I was updating another website, and was going to delete them, but decided to post them first.

Do what you will with them. They are OLD, but I still get the occassional email requesting a copy. This is not going to be an active account, it was created to put the stories back out on the web. So I will not be responding to feedback; leave it or not.
