Collections
Contents:
These are collections (series, sagas, etc.) that were developed together in some format (whether it be with the same characters, storyline, etc.)

1. Strokes Series (Ongoing)
Creation Date: June 2002-Present
Description: This is a series of several original character series set around a gay nightclub called 'Strokes'. It started as a simple story titled "Escape" which spawned a sequel that took a year or two for me to finish. Then many more characters and sequels were born from those, forming this ongoing series. All stories contain homosexual references, so please consider this a blanket warning for that. Some contain sex or strong language, so please observe the ratings as you read.

2. Edward's Exercises
