Most of these stories were originally written in the Ultima Online News Group. None of them - except the unfinished Monroe Chronicles - are fiction. They're all just observations of game-play. Eventually I will search through Dejanews Archives and get the dates that these were originally written... but they were all written between October of 1998 and May of 1999.
