For those readers who lament- or fear - the removal of your stories from Literotica, they can always do what I do - copy them into a word processor and save the file(s) to their computers. Then they can re-read the stories any time, at their leisure. Being rather OCD, I run the MSWord grammar/spelling checker on the file(s) mostly because I don't like all the red underlines that Word tosses into a file "to alert me to errors". This is especially noticeable with the names of your jZav`Etch characters; drives Word absolutely nuts!
Love your work. Patiently waiting for more. At some point, it might be nice to see a timeline so one can read the stories in a logical order.

jZav`Etch and other alien words and names can be a headache for me also. I make a point to read through my chapters multiple times in case I leave out a letter or transpose some letters. You might wonder why I don't set Word to recognize the correct spelling of those names and words. My reason is that having them underlined helps me to navigate through the text when I am editing.
As for a timeline, that's easy.
1) A World For the Taking
2) Captives, Slaves, Killers - Takes place about a year before UaSS.
3) Storm World - It actually starts about a week before the fleet battle in UaSS.
4) Upon a Savage Shore
5) A Savage Shore Vignette
I hesitate to lock down my planned works in a timeline but right now I think this would be the chronology of all the stories:
1) A World For the Taking
2) A Time For Blood
3) Untitled mystery story with the jZav`Etch ship captain and the Human female.
4) Beyond Hope and Fear
5) The Void of Night
6) Captives, Slaves, Killers
7) Untitled story taking place on a deserted mining colony.
8) Storm World
9) Upon a Savage Shore
10) Savage Shore 2
11) Savage Shore 3
For clarification I need to point out that #s 2 and 3 occur early in the war, probably in the first year when things are the most chaotic. Also, #s 4, 5 and 6 occur almost simultaneously and are pieces of a larger military action.
Keep in mind that this list is not absolute and the timeline must remain fluid for the moment in case a plot point comes up during writing. I would hate to lock myself in and then get trapped in a contradiction.
