So these are the stories I have posted. As I wrote in my profile, my stories will mostly feature myself as a protagonist. That does not mean that they are true stories, and if you can't comprehend the difference, you probably should not be reading them. I want my stories to capture your imagination and libido, to be believable, but they should not become a permanent substitute for your reality.
There is little doubt that my writing is greatly influenced by others, whose works I have enjoyed. Human experiences are much the same for all of us. We all live the same lives and tell the same tales. Only the embellishment and order of events changes. Time and again it has been proven that there truly is "nothing new under the sun."¹, and if you try, you will doubtless find stories, poems and essays, by other authors, that are similar to my own.
Like many of the other authors here, I do not get paid for writing these stories, and while I appreciate praise (as everyone does), I do not live for it. I am just trying to share what I like, with others of like mind. If you like what you read, or if you have constructive criticism to offer, please let me know. If something I have written offends you in some way, I am deeply apologetic, but this site is filled with the works of many fine authors. Surely among them you will find something that entertains you.

To the many good people who have taken the time to correspond with me concerning my stories: thank you for your attention and kind comments. I am overwhelmed by the surprisingly large number of kind souls who took the time to tell me how they feel about my work. I will try to answer each one, whenever I have a valid return email address, but please forgive me if it seems to take an inordinate amount of time - there are just so many of you!
Thanks again,
Iguana Don
