I have shorts, I have series starts that are independent from each other, and I have series starts (and one complete!) that are all intertwined and should be read in a certain order, which unfortunately is not the order that I have written them.

I am presently embarking on a non-fetish related "fan fiction" set in the Pathfinder universe. This is titled The Avalastshin Chronicles, and can be found in the section with the same name.

The Shorts section contains what it sounds; one-shots or very brief blurbs that hold, generally, very little plot, development, or otherwise. Fun little things to get the juices flowing!

Incomplete Starts contains the intros and various chapters of stories that don't go with any other ones, but that I had intended to be longer than a short. None of them are finished, most are still pretty rough, but there they are.

The Exploding Universe is my Song of Ice and Fire, though aside from using the name of his series as a reference I certainly don't view myself as a George R. R. Martin. Each title (Just One Wish, The Chewbacca Defense, and The Making) is an individual series, and they can be read independently. They, also, will eventually (and some do already!) contain characters from each other, and have an overlying story arc that'll be "relatively" consistent throughout.

Just One Wish is the first in the series, and sets up the foundation for everything else. It really needs a fine comb ran through it, taking out the typos and other lazy errors, but it is otherwise complete. It is to be read in numerical order (1-4).

The Making details a parallel world to JOW, with its own problems and undertakings. It'll be longer than JOW, each chapter progressing the story line a bit more than just containing muscle growth. As of this writing, only the intro and first chapter ("Serenity") are complete. When they finish, the order will be thus:

Intro, "Serenity," "Voodoo," "Running Blind," and "I Stand Alone." Yes, they are shamelessly named after Godsmack songs, and I don't care. =P  The Making should be read after Just One Wish but before The Chewbacca Defense, if you want to keep the metastory consistent.

The Chewbacca Defense is the final (as of now!) arc of the metastory, and should be read after the other two (which, understandably, is difficult, as The Making isn't yet finished).

The order for it (yep, Dark Side of the Moon): "Speak to Me," "Breathe," "On the Run," "Time," "Home Again," "The Great Gig in the Sky," "Money," "Us and Them," "Any Colour You Like," "Brain Damage," and "Eclipse." Needless to say, this will be the most comprehensive undertaking I'll likely ever engage in, and it might be quite some time, if ever, before I finish it.
Check this out for the order of my things.
