Last updated Sunday 14th August, 2005 — moved to new site and updated ancient contact address. Corrected 'of their own violation' to 'of their own volition'(!) Corrected a few pages that were missing their closing BODY/HTML tags (as if anyone ever noticed...)

Wednesday 24th July, 2002 — removed a 'retcon explanation' that was no longer needed, as the original inconsistency had been corrected! Corrected a couple of remaining punctuation errors. Uploaded coherent edited version, and amended default index page to point to it.

Sunday 2nd June 2002 — corrected numerous small slips and one major chronological inconsistency (a scene inadvertently placed before the chariot race, when the presence of a dream-rose clearly showed that it must have taken place afterwards!)
