PAGES ADDED AND CHANGES MADE
The following is a listing of the changes made to this website, providing details on new pages added and older one's revised and expanded. I constantly make small alterations and edits of the material presented, but do not bother to announce every little change made, so do not be surprised if during the time between readings of an article, things suddenly appear different. Additions I usually make in large groups, for my nature is to work on things piecemeal and in concentrated "spurts," completing a number of projects at the same time due to gradual development of each. Besides having a predilection for grand designs. Nothing on these websites is truly "finished" as we are always adding to them and planning new additions. Updates

Future Plans
December, 2000 - To be honest, there are currently too many additions ready to be made to this site for me to list them all here. I have a large amount of old and new material, both my own and that of involved others, that is completed or nearly complete and will soon find its way to this site. In truth the time taken to unveil these is a matter of the time I have available to see them finished, compounded by my own habit of taking on too many projects at the same time, along with an often unfulfilled desire to see them manifest as what I envision, and finally coupled with a tendency towards criticism of my own work. ::chuckles:: The Gorean Sourcebook should soon be open in a partial form. It will replace the old "Gorean Reference Material" section of the earlier sites. Those essays that are being kept have been greatly rewritten, while a larger number of unpublished works, written over the past two years, will also be added as each sub-section is made ready. The Annotated Gorean Links String - Done - Though this site really has not been much of a focus for us in the past, I completed this first because even though the old site had not been updated for a good year, it was still getting an average of forty visits a day. Considering the fact that half of the links no longer worked, I figured that if the site was still being used that much, it would be *nice* to get things up to date again. In the past week, the daily visits have already more than doubled. The Kajira Forum Resource will also get a face lift, along with the addition of a few new pages and alterations to some of the old. The Commentaries section will of course be greatly expanded as essays submitted over the past year are added, while the older entries are sent back to their authors for the chance to update. The long promised "Gorean Quote Compendium" will be opened in a servicable, if incomplete, form when the above listed projects are running.
