Stories page

I have now added a stories page to my website. My intention here is to use it as a page to host stories... obviously? Anyway, the content you will find there is content I have rights to put there, either directly from the author, or by nature of it being Creative Commons or Public Domain... or by nature of me holding the rights to it.

If you want to submit your stories, feel free to, but keep in mind that by doing so you allow me permission to use it following CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. That's not for all people, just for me so that I can have rights to put it up on this site without any commercial application of it, and so that I can format it appropiately as it will be relatively close to plain text.

So far I have uploaded one of my own stories, as well as one of the short stories I have enjoyed by H.P. Lovecraft.

P.S. I will start signing at the end of these articles the date it was written. This is more so I have a semblence of time passing between each article.
