Glossary
Made short descriptions of the chapters for people who want to read the stories, but have nowhere to begin, or don't know what stories they might enjoy. I also added prominent series characters that Appear in the chapter with a parentheses indicator.
That said; to avoid any potential spoilers to a chapter's contents, the chapter select remains the same, only detailing name/rank/game of reference.
Also; [FF]= Fan Favorite. [PF]= Personal Favorite "Was extra fun to write". [FI]=Fan Inspired
