If there are plans for a three-quel, I'd love for it to be about a teenaged Zorro. Salon

Sorry about the lack of updates the past four weeks. Been real busy with other stuff, but hopefully things'll lighten up this week.
New stories:
Some of you may remember last year I setup a searchable database of the stories I've featured on my site, but a few months later the free hosting provider took it down without notice (probably because it got too popular). Also lost a lot of user feedback saved in the system that I didn't get to back up.
Anyway, last week I decided to restore part of the database and, unfortunately, without the search function because Pridesites doesn't offer PHP/MySQL. Even so, the Topics and Authors sections ought to work well enough for most everyone. Check 'em out.
New stories: Please welcome age progression authors Aardvark and Leminnes as the site's newest contributors.

And thus ends Hypno/Muscle Month 2005. I hope you've enjoyed... uh... "enjoying" it as much as I have putting it together however ad hoc it was. Now that it's over though, I'll be taking a break from the daily updates to recharge my batteries as well as devote some time to other pursuits. I'll see you guys soon. Toodleloo.
