Return to this text file for a guide to the stories in my FTP area.
Web users, there is a better version for you at asstr.org/~Fedora.

If you wish, you may navigate around my user directory. This is a privilege for
  only my ASCII readers. If not mapped here, items in my directory may include
  new works in progress (feel free to read), new ideas or interesting plots for
  me to explore in future works. Either remain with the index, or head into
  uncharted territory. The choice, dear reader, is yours.
  
Works in progress will be available in my ASCII area before they are published
  to my web page. Consider yourself lucky if you wish to venture further into my
  creative process.

And, as ever, have a good read.

-F
