All Star Trek Stories posted in December of 2011 are backlogged stories that I didn't post back during the period 2002-2011. They mostly have not been touched since their original posting on the alt.startrek.creative groups.

Review and posting policy: If your review is unsigned and just says "post more" then I see no reason to approve it. If it's signed, you've added another day before I post that story. I generally do not post new parts closer than a week apart unless the whole work is done, in which case a posting schedule will be listed. I consider post more soon posts to be useless for readers, and harmful to writers. It tends to cause some authors to increase their writing speed to the point that it harms their writing due to less checking before posting. As a longtime archivist and awards coordinator, I will not encourage this.

Harry Potter Stories

These stories are new. Thanks to the CaerAzkaban yahoogroup for getting them and other stories yet to appear.

Honor Series

Honor a Hufflepuff

Neville Reads the Prophet (in progress)

Honor to Serve (in progress)

Take no Umbridge

Take no Umbridge I: As Umbridge Sees It

Take no Umbridge II: Taking Defense

It should be noted that these two stories overlap in time but tell separate stories. Each chapter of TnU2 tells where it fits in the time line verse TnU1

Ritually Series:

While publication order is an option for reading the Rituals Series of my works, some prefer time line order to read my stories, which drives some people nuts with Take no Umbridge. Fortunately the time line order for the Ritual Series is currently a little bit easier. It will get a bit harder when I really get working on By Hepheatus Forged. When a story is split, I will use the Title "Chapter Title" (1) format to help designate this.

Ritually Yours "Late October" (1)

The Friar's Confessions "The Pastor I Wasn't" (1)

Ritually Yours "Middle of November" (2) through "End of December" (4)

Prometheus Unbound "To Suffer Woes" (1) through "Joyous, Beautiful and Free" (10)

By Hepheatus Forged "The Heat of the Forge" (1)

Prometheus Unbound "This like glory is to be" (11)

Ritually Yours "January" (5)

By Hepheatus Forged (2) - (4)

Ritually Yours "February" (6) through "End of the Year" (12)

Summer Rituals "Nine and Three Quarters" (1) through"Seven" (4)

You Should be Ashamed

Summer Rituals "Six" (5) through "Zero" (11)

Blue Series:

Lady in Powder Blue

Gentleman in Navy Blue

A Lad in Queen's Blue

Ranma

Way back I wrote a Ranma story when I was part of the FFML. It was posted to rec.arts.anime.creative. I am now posting it here, and the sequel that I started may appear as well. A Little Earlier is currently being serialized. When I had to revise part 11 in order to meet this site's rating qualifications, it resulted in some other new scenes being added. Among the additions are a new Nabiki sub-plot and expansion of scenes. It is now posted complete, but I have yet to decide if the planned sequel Letters from Ranma will be written and posted. A Little Earlier had age corrections made to it on May 18, 2014.

Star Trek

Marrissa Stories

The Marrissa Stories are an idea that I started back in 1993. Quality improves with time, but bear in mind that the older stories are just not as well written as I can do today. It should also be noted that I have rewritten some of them, early in the time line, but I'm a bit constrained by some bad plot decisions I'd made early on, during these rewrites. Stories with the pink Marrissa icon have been replaced and are left up there for historical reasons.

Timeline order:

Enterprise

These are the Voyages shorts are an attempt at showing how widespread the characters should move after the Enterprise NX-01 is decommissioned. Others may use the set up to start spin offs, crediting me.

Original Series

The Desire series (posted here as one story) is an ongoing series where T'Pring and Spock actually got together early, then broke up. I find that I tend to redeem T'Pring a lot.

Abandoned Stories

I have recently decided to post some of the stories I wrote that never got finished for one reason or another. I will be labeling them as such. This is not a license to take the story. If you think you can finish them, contact me and we'll talk.
