My least favorite feature of updating the OS · 1:42pm Aug 16th, 2018

As you probably didn't know, I am a fan an of open-source software.

There is one place where I feel that it fails badly, however: the desktop environment. (But Window$ 8+ has messed that up too, so it's not like there's a loss. You may actually note that Windows has many of the same "features" that I complain about. Also, the less said about 8, the better. I've never seen a worse start menu, and 10 hasn't completely recovered.)

Assorted babblings I feel the need to say

Okay, so. For those of you who visited this page, I thank you. Not really sure why you would, since I have no stories, but I assume you think I have good taste and want to raid my Bookshelves. For that reason, some of my most favorite stories are listed below.

It's not at all inclusive since I can't always match the name to the story I am thinking of, so it might get skipped in favor of one whose name I can (not that this makes it NOT one of the best stories I have read, but simply that my memory is horrible). Also because the site won't seem to let me add more than three favorites boxes here.

I think at least one of those I been reading before, but it was marked complete? I'm not actually sure. Either way, I'll try to read them.
Just please don't wait too patiently; my list of stories is far larger than I currently have time to read. I'll get there eventually...

I wanted to thank you for going through Changeling and commenting on each chapter. It's great to see what a new perspective on the story is during a first read!
