Two links on the Home page that I found useful are no longer there: the one to Completed Stories link and another to Classic Authors. Now to get to the latter takes only one more click/tap, but a bunch to get the former. It would be nice to get those direct links back on the home page.

Stories whose first grammar error is in the title.

Jeff reads like a hard-boiled private eye in a Raymond Chandler mystery.

I read everything of his - I think after "The Lo(n)g Way" it was as the chapters of each one appeared here - and as I read ItFB while it was in progress I felt it was the best thing he'd ever written, and I still think so, a major advance in his craft. I think it's getting around time for a re-read; that'll make it the fourth time, I think. So many unforgettable moments it's hard to come up with a favorite, but is right up there.

These have been a particularly olfactory couple of chapters!

Ha ha, typical Type 5 reaction Seriously, generalized "tests" or "analyses" like this, whether they're ostensibly "scientific" or veer off into realms of mumbo-jumbo, like palm reading and astrology, usually have one thing in common: the results are sufficiently broad that it's easy to see at least something of ourselves no matter what they come up with. Still, I think the 4w5 I got was pretty accurate once I read and compared it to the other 8 types. But then, I think I'd probably have come up with that just from the descriptions, without taking the test itself. Maybe the greatest value of the test comes just from confronting the questions and forcing yourself to look at yourself as honestly as possible. I don't think we should try to force ourselves into fitting into any of these 9 (or any other) categories, or to allow them force us to fit into them.
