GENRES: Various, mainly fantasy/mythology.
RATING: Various.
SUMMARY: Here you may find short "tie-in" stories related to my serial, Manitou Island. Many of them take place long before the serial itself, and are "genesis" stories of how the different characters came to be the way they are in the serial. Many of them do not feature spoilers since there is such a big gap in time, but just in case one ever does, do not worry; I will include ample warning in the author's note so you can shy away! These stories are very loosely based on the native Ojibwa (Chippewa) mythology which is the basis of the serial. Much of it is also of my own creation. If you want to know more, you can see the serial, or just check out the short stories. NOTE!--considering the extreme adult content of many of the stories rated above PG-13, some of them cannot be posted here, not even under the Mature Content filter. For this reason, with a few possible exceptions, I'll be posting only author's notes (when applicable) and excerpts. (Stories posted in their entirety will be marked with the "COMPLETE STORY" label.) Contact information for me to e-mail you a ZIP file with the uncensored content in HTML, PDF, and plaintext format will be available; the information under "Copyright," below, still applies. Please contact me only if you are over eighteen years of age or the legal age to read adult written material in your jurisdiction.

DISCLAIMERS: Ocryx and his "species" are © the Haunted Theatre of Mackinac Island. Certain characters such as Manabozho are from Ojibwa mythology. Although aspects of these stories are loosely based on Ojibwa mythology and culture, artistic license has been taken as these are FANTASY stories. Please take note that some of these stories were written long ago and that my writing style and understanding of the mythology I created have changed vastly in the meantime.
