aadler27@hotmail.comSunS lists all stories alphabetically, but I feel that the things I’ve written are better understood if read in a particular order, so I’m providing my own organization. Furthermore, I have two basic categories: the Backstage Series, stories linked directly to canon and to each other, to present a reality internally consistent with the Buffyverse; and the Independent Stories, those I turned out for fun and interest, but standing alone without reference either to their Backstage brethren or to each other. (Also, a new section at the end for drabbles.)
Thanks. Enjoy.

I had encountered drabbles before, but never considered writing one; though I appreciated the demands of the form, I felt no temptation to explore it myself. While at WriterCon 1 (Las Vegas, 2004), however, I was required to compose a drabble within twenty minutes during a workshop on same. Thus, “Memory”. Others continue to appear, now and again, now that the ice has been broken.
