Hi all
Can anybody tell me the correct order for reading Julie O's juliverse stories.
Hugs, sim1cats.
Julieverse order
There are some here and on starburst, but they pop up in alphabetical order unless you scroll through the story blurbs instead. Or you can go to FM and use the author page and read them in order. The page can be printed to read them in release order.

Hi Stacy
I seem to be having problems opening the stardustr.us site wether I write out the full URL in my search bar or trying to go in through links in other stories I keep getting the message stardustr.us is under construction been getting this message now for about 4 months got any ideas why.
Hugs, sim1cats
Normally I don't use archive

Stardust
Yeah, unfortunately. Bob, the founder of stardust, author of Zapped and other wonderful tales, passed a few years back. He went out of his way to be a superior person. He even helped out here. After he passed, it was decided to leave stardust in a stasis, readable, but nothing new could be added, new stuff could go here, or another "sister"site. While trying to get here stabilized, and upgraded, and updated, and protected. Stardust became a casuality. It will return, I'm sure once the superior team running this asylum get the time to give it. Many of the tales are mirrored here, but there are many exclusive to stardust that are no where else. We have lost some truly wonderful writing to sites that are gone now, that's why so many authors crosspost to several of the remaining sites. Running a site like this is a monsterous drain on time and money. Many of the older sites collapsed under these burdens.
My notes on this

This should be posted somewhere
This should be posted somewhere; it is too useful to disappear into a blog entry, which are harder to find.
That would be nice.
The trouble is where and how. I have no idea how Erin could easily implement something that people could maintain for keeping track of the various universes.
Maybe a popular universe faq?
Then there would be the headache of figuring what belongs there.
A FAQ would be good
A universe FAQ would be good. Just make it an author. The problem would be figuring out who would actually get to post there, and how to implement putting multiple people's work under one author. Any ideas?
Things that have already written that could go there are the above post, the recent explanation of the Masks universe, and the list of Bikini Beach stories.
Many of the entries under the Categories -- Filter by tg universe would also benefit. Some wouldn't: I don't think the reading order of the SRU stories makes any difference whatsoever, and at the other extreme, one does not have to work hard to discern the order of The Professor's Ovid stories However, for others it would be, if anyone wanted to do the work.
Create it as a universe page under ++Organizer
Then when someone searches on the universe tag it would show up. I could even link it with Julie O's author page with permission. Or even change the author ownership so Julie could edit it.
Hugs,
Erin

Hi all
Thank you for all of your wonderful replies they have helped a great deal I know I have read all of Julie O's stories in the past but I think everyone will agree with me her stories are wonderful its a shame such a wonderful story teller seems to have given up writing but it would seem to me that the death of Bob Arnold hit her hard Julie if you are out there I think a lot of your fans would love to see new stories from you whatever you decide good luck in your future endeavours.
Lots of hugs to you all
