Author's notes
Bit of a motherlode of abandonment, featuring a project which has been abandoned for a while, which itself contains many abandoned stories... some of which are about abandoned characters? I decided not to finish or update any of the pieces beyond very minor alterations, but the engine I've put them in is both brand new and based on something very old, using a program which is also both fairly new and based on something fairly old. In a way I've set these spectres loose in a new machine. What I'm trying to say is there are a lot ghosts here. Thanks for this opportunity, because otherwise they may well have stayed abandoned and haunting me...
