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.

• I'd never thought I'd say this but: Kudos to Geraldo and Shep--I caught this clip on cable, and they really stepped up to the plate over this atrocious decision by the authorities of locking citizens inside the convention center. O'Reilly and Hannity (whom I was so glad to be see pw3nd by Shep on live TV) can go fuck themselves.
