On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, Comicality left us to begin his Sun Quest. He helped so many people with kind words and helpful thoughts. I'm currently at a loss for words. I wish I had his gift for words and creating a world for characters as he did. He will truly be missed. 

Thank You, Comicality for being there when we needed you. 

Hopefully our paths will cross again.

Rest In Peace.

Hello Readers,

It's TSL again with hat in hand, yes it is that time of year again when we ask you our loyal readers to help keep our sites up and running. You may well know our sites are run almost entirely on your generous donations! When your donations do not cover all of the cost, the difference comes out of our pockets. We have no ADs on our sites and no Premium Tiers! There is no charge to our authors for hosting their stories nor any charge for you the readers to read them. We would appreciate it if you could find a way to donate any amount to keep our sites AD-free and running. So please check between your couch cushions and under your car seats any amount will be gratefully accepted. No amount is too small. We thank you very much for all of your help over the years.

To sweeten the pot a bit, we are running the following promotion again, simply put, make a $10 USD donation get a free Joel Book.

Have you considered helping to keep these sites up and running? Are you also a fan of Ted Louis' "Joel" series? Well, Ted has informed us that he found a case of assorted Joel books. Yeah, "actual" in print books! He decided that anyone willing to make a $10 or larger donation within the US to the hosting service paying the bills for the Fort Family Community of sites, he is willing to send you your very own copy of a random book in the series, autographed by Ted Louis himself as a thank you!

What to do:

1. Click on https://dsshosting.net/donations/donation-form/ and click on "Donate Now".

2. Make a qualifying donation of $10 or more.

3,. Email your name and mailing address to joel-offer@fortfamilyforums.com

4. Once the donation has been confirmed, Ted Louis will send a random autographed copy of one of his books to you directly.

(One book per donation. This offer will be withdrawn once the limited number of books has been sent. The early bird gets the worm! Unfortunately, only US residents due to expensive international shipping :( We'll take down the offer as soon as we confirm that no copies remain.)

Sorry its been a while, Major health issues currently affecting my ability using a computer.

Brynmor the Lost Author

Hi everyone!

I wanted to reach out to regular readers here at True's Fandom as well as those who circulate throughout the Fort Family of hosting sites. One exceptionally difficult job is finding someone willing to take over the work started by a community/family member who we all miss. We all know that TrueFan (Lenny) put a lot of himself into his own work as an author as well as in growing his site. In the few years that True's Fandom has existed, he has amassed an impressive library that signifies the personality of those hosted on the site as well as give many newer authors a jumping-off point or even a home base. When we lose a site owner, we can maintain the hosting so the work isn't lost and active authors can still contribute but, we need to find someone who is willing to carry the torch lit by its creator. Today I am very happy to announce someone who not only is willing to take the wheel but, if given the opportunity, someone I believe Lenny would have chosen himself as his successor.

For those of you who are readers both at True's Fandom as well as many of our other hosting sites, author "Garret D. M." who has been a very close friend of many of us, including Lenny, has accepted our request for him to take over his online "Dad's" site and I know for a fact, this would make TrueFan himself both very happy as well as very proud. Garret brings with him new ideas & new direction as well as the ability to pay tribute to a man who quite literally was his online Dad, which is awesome!

So please join us all in welcoming Garret D.M. as one of our newest site owners and let's all support him as he learns to drive the vehicle Lenny and his hosted authors have built!

Hey all!

As I'm sure all of you are aware, I've been bouncing around between stories to get everything up to the current spot in the timeline - which sometimes means jumping around to ensure continuity across the Universe is maintained.

When Dave of D&B passed on, B turned the characters and stories over to myself and TheEggman to allow the characters to be part of future storylines. Unfortunately, at that point in time they were in front of all of us! Before Dave passed, he did manage to merge two of his stories into a third one. Both Jigsaw and Be Careful What You Ask For run alongside each other, and were merged into Dawn's Early Light to cover the BOE storyline.

This has allowed a unique opportunity; in most cases, when an author passes, their storyline stalls. In this case, we've had the permission to continue the storyline, but needed things to be caught up to allow that to happen. Once we finally were satisfied that it was safe, the next part was deciding how to pull it off. While various plot points that had been planned were included in other CSU stories, to move forward the storylines from D&B really needed closure. After serious thought, and quite a few discussions, it was decided that the best way to honor what he was doing would be to write a multi-chapter Epilogue to Dawns Early Light, resolving some of the major storylines and preparing the characters to move forward in future CSU stories.

Over the next week, I plan to finalize a method to re-direct you to Dawns Early Light after the last chapters of both Jigsaw and Be Careful. The first chapter of the Epilogue is over 2/3 done, and will be posted as a continuation of Dawn's Early Light. Upon the conclusion of the Epilogue, all three stories are expected to be wrapped up and the characters poised to be able to be easily integrated into future CSU stories without major questions left hanging.

So, now that you've been warned, you'll have time to refresh your memory on all three stories, and will be ready to move forward with us as we once again get to see Jonas, Harry, Kurt's family, and other characters actively moving ahead!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we are writing it! This will be appearing on all Fort Family Sites which currently host D&B's stories!

Hugzz;

AC

Just a quick note, we are working in the background to replace the missing Ark Speak in some CSU Chapters. It is a slow process so please be patient with me/us.

Hi everyone,

As some of you may have noticed, we have been experiencing intermittent outages with a small handful of our story siites as recently as earlier today. These outages are a result of a service that we utilize being hacked, which is affecting some functionality of the sites and triggering malware scanners within our service. It is being addressed but as with any attack of this nature, we can't offer a timeframe of when we are "in the clear" as we are simply reacting when trouble pops up as software needs to be developed to address this new issue moving forward.

For now, be sure you keep copies of everything that is newly posted on your site as an attack could force a site to restore from a recent backup, which 'could' reverse the addition of new material. Site owners, you will be contacted if this action is performed on your site. Get in touch with one of us if you have any questions or concerns.

Together we built The Fort Family and together we defend it!
- Jeff

Attention All CSU Readers:

As Archivist of the Clan Short Universe, I hereby declare and confirm that the author known as SamIam has successfully completed the necessary requirements to be awarded the title Clan Short Universe Author and confer upon him all the rights and responsibilities which are consistent with the title.

On this day, September Fourteenth, in the year Two Thousand and Twenty-Two, let it be known that the story Oh Can You See has been reviewed and accepted as a Clan Short Universe Core Timeline story, and is considered a canonical part of the main storyline.

Hi Fort Family!

As many of you may be unaware, on Thursday evening our service provider was one of many who experienced a complete outage that took our entire community down for a short period of time. I won't go into any details but we are not complaining about the speed in which this issue was addressed. The reason for this post is to request that any major site updates or important chapter postings should be postponed to allow for temporary fixes to receive permanent repairs. Where the work continues, I would consider all of our sites "Read Only" for a day or two. I will attempt a current backup as a "Just Incase" but, if we experience DNS issues resulting from the outage, new work could be lost.

So please join us in thanking those involved in such a speedy recovery but to be safe, do some reading and let your readers angrily stare at your newest cliffhanger one or two more days. 🤣

Due to the ongoing Pandemic, a lot of us have gone through financial difficulties. The Fort Family of Sites has been affected by those financial difficulties as well. In fact, for the last eighteen months, we have been running in the red. Due to quite a few of our sites coming up for renewal over the next couple of months, we will go far enough in the red that it will be untenable.

So, please donate to support our Author Hosting and keep all of our sites online. All donations large or small will be greatly appreciated. Anything you can give to support The Fort Family of Sites will go a long way to keep the sites online and Ad-Free.

Thank you for your generosity.

Story Information Update

Attention: Memories and CSPRD Readers!

A new section of "The Mikyvis Chronicles" has been created, entitled "Honeymoon" This story is intended to fill in the gaps between what happens at the end of two stories, Memories Book Three and CSPRD Book One, and the start of the next book of both stories.

This first chapter focuses on events involving DJ and Tanner immediately after Memories Book Three finished. There are lots of adjustments that the two boys need to make as they learn about their new family members, plus there are a few surprises awaiting them! 

Link to The Mikyvis Chronicles: Honeymoon

From The Eggman and myself, we hope that you enjoy the newest chapter, and want to make sure that you remember to keep an eye out for more chapters!

Between 2am EST and 6am EST on May 26, the wizards who provide our hosting will be casting a new integrity spell on the rack-mounted totem that contains all of our characters. This is done to ensure not too many of them escape or cause too much havoc on our realm. It may be difficult to reach the sites with your computer as they perform this ritual but if you are able to peer into ethereal realms, you shouldn’t have a problem. If not, I'd suggest you use your own wizardry and save a few chapters locally to get you through.

This ritual should take about 30 minutes for most of our sites. Maybe about a DAY for The Story Lover's Home as Dragons are much more difficult to contain and really do like messing with the wizards. <snicker> 

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, both in lost reading time and should you become overrun with the group who plans out this time of year to escape normally. Our hopes and gratitude go out to the wizards tasked with this responsibility!

Just checking in. 

   This has been a crazy time between working from home, to having a small stroke over the past week. I am fine but it is taking some time to actually get past not being able to clearly say what my mind is thinking or understanding what people are trying to convey. Like everything in life nothing is guarenteed so remember to step out of the comfort zone and meet new people when its safe to, learn to laugh at mistakes and errors, and learn we are together in life.

I want to give all my Readers and Authors a big Thank You. 

All this in less than 19 months since the update of the site in 2017. 

Thank You

Brynmor!

Hi Family!

As one of our favorite holidays is right on top of us, I'm afraid our plans for it have been unavoidably put off. We got an announcement from our hosting service that there will be some much-needed maintenance being performed on the machines that we rely on for hosting. Which means we can expect intermittent outages throughout the day. Now at first, we thought "Hmmm... Maybe THIS was intended as an April Fool's joke..." before we considered how serious our hosting service takes their job. So, even though all year long we have been planning something a bit out there to make up for missing past April Fool's opportunities, we regretfully need to let it go this year. For those of us who think THIS is an April Fool's joke, we have trained you well but, this year that training will not serve you as well as it should. <giggle>

I also want to remind you all that tomorrow, our hosted author "Garrett D.M." ships out to boot camp with the United States Army. I hope you all were able to send him off with good wishes and I personally can't wait to hear some of the stories he comes home with. Those of you who would like to send him a quick message to wish him luck, you can reach him at his listed email: garret.d.m98@gmail.com. I'm sure he would appreciate knowing that we are all with him in spirit.

Til the next update,

Dear Readers and Authors,

This year's Valentine's Day Short Story Event is titled ~ Cupid's Arrows ~ 2019 ~ Cupid Won't Give Up! 

The event starts now and runs through January 31, 2018, for unedited stories and February 7th for edited stories. I will post all stories on Valentine's Day February 14th.
The Rules:

1. The short stories must be between 500 words and 15,000 words
   
   
2. The Short Story should be about how Cupid Won't Give Up, as he keeps shooting arrows at someone in the closet.
   
   
3. Many of us have been in this position. Suddenly, your heart reaches out for the one person who you simply can’t risk telling how you feel. When your heart betrays you, can you build up the courage to follow it or do you continue to fight?
   
   
4. This event is open to all readers and authors.
   
   
5. Authors must authorize the Fort Family of Sites, by written permission to host their stories.

So put on your writing caps and get writing, more details to follow.

So just this morning we broke the 300K mark on chapter reads for the site and to be honest, I know the site had alot more due to it's age. However, Fourteen Months ago this site had a Retrofit and our numbers were reset. So I just wanted to say, Thank You to all of our Authors and Readers for everything.

Now on to the Updates:

Voyagers Authors - Voyagers - "Duty Roster - SS Endurance"

Boudreaux - Dear Diary - "Chapter 34"

Brynmor!

When you 'come out' it's not always over in one go, sometimes it's more complicated. When you've found the person you love you don't want to be apart, sometimes it's not that easy. Alex and Matty must confront the obstacles thrown in front of them and deal with an episode from the past that they thought was all over, but which comes back with disastrous consequences.

Time May Change Me - the sequel to I'll Kiss You in the Rain - coming soon!!!

William King.

One Last Update for the Night!

Boudreaux has shared the following stories with us. 

Lagniappe

Gifts

Photos in the Mall

Driving His Grandma

Dear Readers & Authors,

We have received our first entry and it was perfect, it hit the nail right on the head for the theme. So the rest of you get out your keyboards, pen, and or pencils and get writing.

The 2018 Fort Family of Sites Fall Short Story Event's theme is: A Thanksgiving Dinner Surprise! ~ You and your family (who do not know you're gay) decide this year to go out for their Thanksgiving Feast. Mid-way through the meal, someone stops by your table. You are horrified to find out it was a guy you just started dating, who doesn't know you're not out to your family...

As usual, this event is open to all readers and authors of the Fort Family Sites, however, if anyone knows of an author from another site that would like to enter this even just ask them to click on the following link Story Submissions. My staff and I would love to see lots of new authors entering this year.

The rules/guidelines are as follows: Must be theme related should be a minimum of 500 words and no longer than 15,000 words. These are not carved in stone, so please submit away. Submissions are due no later than Midnight PDT on November 17, 2018. All submissions will be posted on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2018. Please include the theme title: A Thanksgiving Dinner Surprise! in the title of your story. In case you forgot the email address for submissions is A Thanksgiving Dinner Surprise!

Some pretty amazing stories have come out of the Short Story Events and some wonderful New Authors as well. My Staff and I will be busy posting the previous Fall Short Story Events over the next few weeks. 2007 has been completed and 2008 will be posted shortly.

Happy writing,

Fred The Elf

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to send out a quick notice to let you all know that as a part of our attempt to keep our hosted sites on fast, reliable, and up to date servers, we will be migrating our sites to brand new equipment with up to date software, including an upgraded operating system. We anticipate no operational downtime for our visitors but where we are physically moving, there may be a very short time where DNS servers may be pointing to the old server even after the new servers are brought online.

If you were planning to do a marathon reading session, go right ahead as the only change that may be noticeable would be sites responding slightly faster than usual. By Thursday if you hear nothing from us then it will be back to business as usual for us behind the scenes and you will see progress return to normal.

We will advise if this schedule changes as the request to greenlight the move is being placed tonight.

Here's to as many reliable years on newer equipment.

Dear Readers,

The Midsomer Shory Event with the theme of A Day In The Life Of An Inanimate Object has arrived and the submissions are now live. The Authors and their stories will be listed in alphabetical order, that is except for the very first story, and you will see why that is.

We have a New Author today with his first entry, so please welcome NCNetsurfer and his story about a well-polished object,  A Day In The Life Of An Inanimate Object: A Pet Rock.

Art West has brought us two stories, one with a British feel and one with a twist in the name,  first, we have A Day In The Life Of An Inanimate Object: Being Close, and second A Day In The Life Of Matt.

Beldro Mercier brings us a bit of fantasy with, A Day In The Life Of An Inanimate Object: Through the Looking Glass.

DouglasDD has decided to tickle your fancy with his story, A Day In The Life Of An Inanimate Object: Keying In.

The Story Lover also has brought us two entries, his first is a whimsical look into the wild and woolly world of punctuation surprisingly enough titled, A Day In The Life Of Ugo The Umlaut, followed by a foray into the bountiful word of a nature travelogue with, A Day In The Life Of 'Cap'.

Don't forget to thank the authors for the hard work by dropping them a short email, and please extend a warm welcome to our Newest Author NCNetsurfer.

Happy reading,

Thanks to Santa Akeentia and his helpful Elves Jeff's Fort, ACFan and The Story Lover we have a wonderful Christmas Present for all of you and we are proud to present F.R.E.D. , what you may ask is F.R.E.D. Funny Thing F.R.E.D. is a what and a who, F.R.E.D. is The Fort Family of Sites revived and totally new Events Site AKA Fort Readers Event District that just happens to be run by Fred, Fred The Elf AKA  "Fred DeElve" who is a character that has been on our forum for quite some time. What brought this and the software upgrades to happen at the same time? Well, it seems that I realized that after recovering and all of the previous Christmas Events from the Fort Family Forum back to life last year I had started a huge snowball rolling and it kept getting bigger and bigger. When I decided to revive The Christmas Short Story Event I realized that we had a big problem in order to do the event right and continue with new events we needed a new Events Site so with the help of the forenamed crew F.R.E.D was born. Problem solved right? Unfortunately No, you see for F.R.E.D. to work correctly with all of the other Fort Family Sites all of those sites needed to be running the same software so Santa Akeentia toiled for hours and hours Saturday giving all of the sites an early Christmas Present brand spanking new top of the line software. While there are a few cosmetic upgrades there a lot of new fun toys for the Admins and Authors to play with. There are lots and lots of presents under Fred's tree so go checkout F.R.E.D. http://events.csuproductions.com/?t=ENW4jjAe

I want to say thank you to all of the authors that wrote stories for the Christmas Extravaganza 2017 it was an awesome success and in absotively posilutely no order they are: Geron Kees, Maxieplus, Jeff P., Brynmor, Zarek Dragon, Art West, Timmy Short,  Jonah Timoty Campbell-Forte, Felix P., DouglasDD, Boudreaux, and The Story Lover, it seems that 'Goos' took the year off. They are some very good stories for all of you to read, don't forget to thank the authors for their hard work.

Wishing all of you a Safe, Healthy and very Happy Holiday Season,

TSL

YAY! YAY! YAY! SUCCESS! I finally was able to get the damn browser to update after going from Leopard to Snow Leopard, and, MIRACLE! I was able to post the two missing chapters of A Little Devil at Hogwarts. Only missing is chapter 12, which should come on December 31 or whereabouts. So, for those who have been patiently waiting on me, HERE THEY ARE! :) Now, if someone knows how to partition my hard drive so I can install Mountain Lion in an alternate partition rather than overwrite Snow Leopard, thus allowing for a dual boot, contact me via my email... It's not lack of space, I still have 450 GB or so free, but everywhere I read it's 'back up before partitioning', Nice thought,,, when you have a place to back up to.

Sometime Saturday morning December 23^rd all Fort Family Sites will be going down for some important maintenance.  We will have all sites back up and be running better than before as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience,

TSL for The Fort Family Admins and Webmasters

Your authors need your help. As many people are aware, a certain chat service that specialized in advanced conference features has finally been overworked to the point of actually being unusable for our team. Since 2004, The Fort Family Authors Group, and all contributing authors to the "Clan Short Universe" series have heavily relied on this chat client and recent developments have made work behind the scenes difficult and even impossible in some cases. This means work being released can be severely delayed in some cases, which is already something that we try to avoid whenever possible.

In researching possible replacements, "Discord" is an absolute front-runner, with one glaring exception. There is a character limit placed on all servers that make it difficult to work with larger bodies of text. (That's a huge issue actually.) So, why am I posting this tonight? We need your help.

The feature change is possible but, the way Discord prioritizes its growth is through a request and upvote system. (Actually, a really cool process.) So we need to ask for your help. If you are a Discord user, please click the link below and upvote this topic. If you aren't a user, check out the chat client, it was designed with gamers in mind but is awesome for collaborating, congregating or even just hanging out. Maybe create a login and when you do, maybe give this feature an upvote...maybe < GRIN >

Take care,

TSL

...a whole bunch of turkeys???

Okay, that has nothing to do with this announcement but, it made me laugh ;P Tonight I finished up the tail end of the migration of the rest of Silver Wolf's work to The Annex. Book 4 of "Cave Lupas", Books 1 and 2 of "Galactica" (The continuation of Cave Lupus) and a new poem entitled "Fallen Comrades" are now live for your reading enjoyment tonight. As promised, I got all of Silver Wolf's work moved into his new home. Now I leave it all in the very capable hands of our new webmaster Brynmor and Silver Wolf himself. Welcome aboard guys and thanks for being a part of such an important site revival. It's awesome seeing work go into The Annex again! Here's to many more updates to come!

*HUGZ*

Dear Readers,

I must first off say Howdy. Second Happy Thanksgiving for those celebrating today. Third, don't worry The Story Lover and Jeffsfort didn't twist my arm out of place, it just hurts a little.

Hugz

- Brynmor -

Dear readers,

There is one last thing that we almost overlooked tonight. Now that Brynmor has his own site, it just makes sense to bring his work over as well.

So, the last project we will independently perform will be to launch one last new story and author! For those of you who have not been to the Corner Cafe, You really need to check out "Digital Refresh" by: Brynmor! In all honesty, this story fits in really well at The Annex as does it's author as your new webmaster. (Seriously, the badgering begins here and now!)

HUGZ
- The Story Lover ~ JeffsFort -

We are very happy to announce that our own hosted author Brynmor, has agreed to assume the duties of Interim Webmaster to "The Annex" effective immediately. He has kindly accepted the job (read: was picked on until he relented. :P) and will ensure that our Fort Family Flagship keeps running and growing. We will still be around in the background and will assist when necessary. Brynmor will continue holding the keys until a permanent webmaster is determined (If we ever let him off the hook ;) or he decides to continue to take our ribbing and stay on permanently as we revive a site that has been frozen in time in the absence of our former webmaster "Boy From Aus". Of course, we do miss "Boi From Aus" terribly and wish him the best in everything he chooses to do in the future. We absolutely intend to maintain a home for his work for as long as we have a presence on the web and should he ever return as an active author, hope to see his stories continue.

So please welcome Brynmor to the team and keep in mind that all mail sent to webmaster@acannex.us will now be going to a live webmaster (as opposed to everyone thinking the "other guy" was watching it).

Thanks, Brynmor now we can fully concentrate on completing updates to storylover.us, jeffsfort.com and prepare for upgrading another one of the family sites. (More surprises on the horizon!)

Good Luck and Best Wishes Brynmor,

HUGZ
- The Story Lover ~ JeffsFort -

Hi everyone!

Just thought I'd take a second to let you all know that I just imported some new work by "Silver Wolf" tonight. (I was supposed to be writing but, it was one of those nights O.o .) "Harry Potter - Hellion" and it's sequel "A little Devil at Hogwarts" are now live on The Annex. This series won the "2015 NanoWriMo Award" and should be a real treat for those of you who love alternate stories in the realm of Harry Potter. So, be sure to let Silver Wolf know what you think.

Happy Reading!

Until the next update - *HUGZ*
-Jeff-
jeffsfort@gmail.com

With the help of Jeff, I posted a new poem at the Annex: I am a Macadam Flower, dedicated to the memory of all those young child prostitute that end up dead in our big cities. It is in French, but there is an underlying English translation, for those who do not read the language.

Silver Wolf

True Fan and The Story Lover have also added to the Poetry/Plays section along with Silver Wolf so check it out you might just be surprised at what you find. You might even find yourself liking poetry.

Enjoy,

TSL

Heh, Jeff added one of my poems to the poetry stock found at The Annex. It's in French, but an English translation is included if you click on the text, for those whom do not know the language. As always, translations are 'best concept fit', not word for word, so it does not sound as fluid as it does in French, and for that, I am sorry. It is quite old, being one of my first published work, dating from the GWG (Gay Writers Guild) days. In short (!) it describes the feelings of a parent that has lost a child to foul play. Do read and comment.

Jeff's been busy while I was in my den fighting the fleas. He posted book 3 of The Prophesy, The Hammer of Atlantis. Thanks a lot, Jeff. 

Dear Readers,

Back on October 22, 2002, The very first chapter of a story that would soon become the foundation of what the Fort Family now know as "The Clan Short Universe" (CSU). ACFan Unknowingly launched one of the largest amateur collaborative works on the web which in time, would involve multiple authors and birth many alternate realities, fan fiction and a slew of original content created by fans and official authors alike.

Return to current time: October 22, 2017

It is now fifteen years later, and my dream that wouldn't stop until I wrote it down is stronger than ever. Between multiple authors and readers contributing their own dreams, and my own additions to the fabric of the universe, what started as a small story has become a major project that has had an effect on multiple lives.

As I write this, I am in conversation with quite a few of the core authors who were instrumental in turning a single story into a Universe.  In no particular order, the following authors are responsible for giving me the support and advice that made my story into the CSU: Darryl (aka Sleeping Beauty), Akeentia, TSL, JeffP, and MultiMapper. As other authors have come and gone, those four have always been responsible for creating the foundation that it was all built on. With the relatively recent addition of TheEggman to the team, this core group is responsible for even more quality in the stories.

Unfortunately, we did lose one author from our group; Dave of D&B is sorely missed, and to this day we are still trying to ensure that we do the characters he created justice. Other authors have moved on to other projects or have had changes to their daily lives that preclude having writing time, but the core group is together once more and supporting each other as our characters move forward.

Most of all, thank you to the readers, some of which have been reading since the very first post. Your feedback and ideas have been greatly appreciated, and at times have pushed us towards finishing something that was stalled.

It has been an amazing fifteen years, and I'm looking forward to the next five years of story progression! Thank you to each and every one of you!

OK, I've been asked to put on some publicity for my stories that are now on The Annex. Let me see: Jeff has been busy (REAL BUSY!!!) putting my stories on the site. There is a collection of short stories (Silver Wolf's Forest Lore) that will expand as I find other ideas; there is a Play, an a collection of poems in English and French; a medium-short story that could be labelled fan-fiction; and my first ever BIGGIE, Cave Lupus, the first of a continuing saga, whose other books will get posted as Jeff finds some free time. A HUGE HOORAY for all the hard work Jeff does for me.

Quite a few more short stories and poems are waiting to be added by Jeff, as he explores what I've made available already. I have a lot more in the pipeline than what has been posted publicly yet, so, START READING if you do not want to feel overwhelmed! :)

As always, comments are welcomed.

Silver Wolf

Silver Wolf's Stories have begun being posted here including a feature unique to The Annex; Silver Wolf's Forest Lore a collection of intertwined Short Stories. More of Silver Wolf's Stories will be posted in the near future.

The Annex is proud to welcome its newest authors in alphabetical order; DouglassDD, True Fan, Zarek Dragon, and the Voyagers Authors. Some of their stories are live now and there are a lot more to come.

Enjoy your reading and don't forget to let the authors know what you think of their stories,

TSL

The Annex is proud to announce that Silver Wolf has joined the site as an Author. He will be posting his stories in the very near future. So don't forget when you read his stories to drop him a line to let him know that you are reading them.  I am sure that he wouldn't mind if you told him how great they were. 

Welcome Christian to The Annex, The Oldest Fort Family Site!

I would like to say thank you very much to Jeff's Fort for stepping in and finishing the transfer of files and adding the new content. I was a little swamped with the job of still completing my own sites upgrade. Now that he has done all of the hard work I can kick back and relax!  Akeentia our masterful programmer has done another wonderful job creating a faster and easier to use site. All I had to was give him a few suggestions and he created this masterpiece.

You may have noticed a name change during the upgrade we reverted the site to its original name.

I will be keeping the site updated and making sure that auto-updates happen. Thanks again Jeff and Akeentia.

...becomes our newest upgraded site!

Hi everyone and welcome to the totally upgraded and completely redesigned "Annex: Down Under"! As I'm sure most of you have noticed, our family of sites has taken on a newer, streamlined, mobile friendly, easier to search, able to leap tall buildings... Well, you get it. Thanks to the hard work of "The Story Lover" and our designer and technical genius "Akeentia" we can now announce that one more site has finally been brought up to "Code".

Not to worry though, all of the content that you come to read is still here. As a matter of fact, the largest upgrade that you will notice is that our sites communicate with each other. Now if a story is updated on sister site and is co-hosted here, the update happens instantly. No more falling behind. Over the next few days, there may be some minor tweaking but, take a look around and you may even find some content that wasn't there on the old site.

Have fun!

Until the next update - *HUGZ*
