Many of these authors have written other stories, even books, but the stories I have selected were chosen because they impressed me. Some were chosen for style, some for content, most, just because I enjoyed them in some way. However, they may not be your choice of the author's best, that's your choice. I provided a direct link to each story instead of to the author's web page, if you want to read more of that person's work, you'll need to find it yourself.
I've limited my selections to those found on ASSTR or ASSM for my own nefarious reasons and I mean no slur to anyone by missing them. I may not have read the work of an author you like and in all honesty, since I've been writing more myself, my reading of other's work has dropped off drastically. I haven't actually added to this list for a while.
Finally, if any author wishes me to remove my selection of their work from this list they need only e-mail me at . B.
(The enjoyable thing about going over this list was finding that one or two of my favourite author's have now removed their stories from ASSTR/ASSM because they are now being published and paid for their work.)
