The four Jake Stories: These are stories of diverging paths. They result in different worlds that Jake’s life might (may) have taken him. There are four different directions we discover, three Threads take him at some point to the Philippines. One (the first) does not.

Other Stories: Regardless of whether they reference Jake, do exist within the world of one or two possible Threads. A few stories reference a specific Jake and those really need to be read as corollaries, being grounded is a specific Jake world. Fully, to understand those stories, it is best to have already read the underlying Thread. Other stories even though not directly tied to any Jake, just don’t include background, language explanations and such that is covered in the longer Jake stories. For that reason, having read either, the story with Joy or Ganda, is very helpful.

All these stories will be associated with these codes: MF, CON and some with: Mf, FF, Ff, MFF, MFf, Mff. There is no violence, rape or brutality here. There are also no bimbo’s here, nor huge breasts nor ten-inch dicks. Here you will find bright women, trim bodies, and the consequences of the choices one must make at times in life.

With one exception noted below, all are fiction. However, in the case of all the fiction involving the Philippines, the places are real, and details of life are real.
