[Guest guest]

I am sorry there has

been a delay in uploading the new stories and updates, but I haven't been too

well. Nothing serious, and not PCa related but.....

I'm feeling a bit better today, so here are the ones I completed last week. I'm

hoping I'll get down to starting the backlog tomorrow or the next day.
