        The stories are meant so they can be read out of order, but since I was
creating an index anyway, I thought people might like to know at least the order
they were published in, as that could constitute a reading order.  So I'll list
the stories here in the order they were written, with a little blurb about each.
Be sure to check out the READ-ME, too, if you haven't already.  And the LINKS
file is pretty much you would expect--a few links to other story archives.

        It should be known that every story will usually at LEAST have the
following story codes: MF+(g* b*) ped inc bd ws

                              THE DELPHI PROJECT

01. THE TIES THAT BIND
        A man uses Stockholm Syndrome to endear a captive barely-a-teenager to
    him.  She's meant to be only the start.

02. THE TAMING GAME
        A girl with a daughter as a product of rape is taken in, and herself and
    her daughter taken over, by a man who wandered into town.

03. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
        A babysitter with glowing word-of-mouth recommendations is given the
    task of dealing with a bratty girl who gives new meaning to "temper
    tantrums".  The brat ends up at the hands of someone bent on turning her
    into a fuck toy.

04. CHANCE ENCOUNTERS
        He never set out to be a kidnapper and rapist, but she was too lovely to
    pass up.  And when she realizes there's no way out, she does the only thing
    can: Try and keep him appeased.

05. THE DELPHI PROJECT - ACT ONE
        Who is that man who keeps showing up?  Find out now, as another man finds
    more than he ever dared to expect.



                              THE POISON CHRONICLES

06. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 01: Genesis (PoisonCH01.txt)
        Inspired by the Marvel universe. All that the symbiotes could do, all
    from canon, and no one tried anything like this. I love Eddie Brock, I do--
    but he (and Carnage, and Toxin, and Scream, and...) is an idiot. It's not
    based anywhere near the Marvel universe, but the Delphi universe (which
    itself is based on ours)

07. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 02: Amassing the Flock (PoisonCH02.txt)
        The further adventures of the narcissistic would-be king known as
    Poison.  He's coming closer to his ultimate goals, but it looks like someone
    else has their eye on him and his family.  To what end?

09. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 03: Becoming Coryphaeus (PoisonCH03.txt)
        A fan and fellow author noted his shared interest in a "progressive"
    story, and that spawned a few key scenes in this lengthy offering.
        On his search for a queen, Poison finds more than he bargains for--and
    he gets an unexpected visitor.  Old habits are re-examined, new alliances
    made, and more of the life he craves is carved out, bit by bit.

10. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 04: Alliances (PoisonCH04.txt)
        A bit of an attempt at showing the lighter and darker side of their
    reality, with a bit of a "challenge" to the characters as well as the
    author.
        Poison explores the Delphi Project, coming away with additional
    resources and respect for a man he didn't expect.  Plans with the pets go
    forward, and a threat eliminated.

11. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 05: Wheels within Wheels (PoisonCH05.txt)
        Fellow ASSTR-er Sadistic Daddy and I were talking about progression and
    interesting things that may lay in the future.  His invaluable help provided
    the bridge I needed for a few ideas I had.  This mostly non-sexual entry is
    the result.  Please visit http://www.asstr.org/files/Authors/Sadistic_Daddy/
    for works far better-written than anything I'm capable of.
        Poison has been ignobly pressed into service by a branch of the American
    government, and it's a precarious balancing act of his own plans against
    theirs, as he tries to get free of their grip--only to meet a new adversary.

12. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 06: Revelations (PoisonCH06.txt)
    A major player made his presence known, and now proves that he may be more
    than Poison is capable of dealing with.  Fighting against superior powers
    forces him away from his empire and lead him to a vision of his destiny.  Is
    he ascending to divinity?  Or is he descending into insanity?

13. The Poison Chronicles Chapter 07: Inceptive Destiny (Poison CH07.txt)
    The empire grows, and Marius-née-Poison now starts turning years of planning
    into action.  Yet there comes something unexpected, even unknowable, to man
    and alien alike.  A certain winged one returns, and a battle of wits ensues.

                Around the time of writing the second or third
                chapter of the Poison Chronicles I happened to
                stumble upon something called The Hero Machine.
                I won't link to it because I really doubt the
                creator needs traffic from THIS kind of site.
                Google it and have have fun.

                As an artist, I should stick to writing, and I
                know it, but I whipped these up at first only
                for myself, then I thought others might like to
                see them.  They're hosted on a LiveJournal
                account made solely for this purpose.

                                     STROKERS


08. Not-So-Loving Family
    Not much I can say on this one, other than if you've read all of my other
    works, it would be understood just what is meant by my saying that this is
    so nasty, so despicable, so--just plain VILE that I had to include an
    apology before the actual story.
    A family of abusers the likes of which aren't really displayed in my other
    works live in solitude--children created to be toilets and sluts.  Pain is
    the currency of love, blood the proof of devotion, with the hills echoing
    with screams.
