The works I’ve archived here fall into two categories: the Backstage Series — stories carefully linked to canon and to each other, to form an internally consistent rendering of the Buffy universe — and the Independent Stories, unlinked either to the Backstage stories or to each other. The Drabbles aren’t really classified one way or another; I just did them as a passing thought anyhow.

Anyone wanting to follow stories in progress, with attendant commentary, can check me at www.livejournal.com/~aadler_ .

Enjoy. I hope.
