I click on a author's name and I get their, what, profile? Am I missing the link to their stories page somewhere?

Thank you!
If you click on submitted by
you get the profile, if you click on the smaller print underneath where it says author, you get stories. Alternatively click on the author's list in the hypertext at the top of the screen header and then on the author you want.

OK,
I click on your name on this question, and I see your stats. This starting from the reply you just made.
I'm trying to figure out alternate ways to navigate around here. I have your stories page bookmarked. :)
Comments and link to profiles
The name next to a comment is a link to the person's profile. Why doesn't it link to the person's stories? Because many people comment and only a few write stories, so if it is going to be one kind of link, it has to be the profile link.
There used to be a "content" tab in the profile that would link to blogs and stories by the person but in the latest version of Drupal, this was eliminated for some reason. I just haven't gotten around to programming a replacement which would take probably 8 to 10 hours to program and twice that to test and debug. It actually isn't the time, it's the lack of concentration since to program, one needs uninterrupted time and that I don't have.

Thank you
That answered my question.
Workaround
If you're after a list of an author's stories, the best place to start is from within a chapter / story they've written. Assuming you're using the default theme, just under the kudos stats box at the right is a list of stories (well, the ones organised into "Books"), and if you click the author's name at the top of that box, you'll be taken to a separate page with the list.
However, I don't think every story has been categorised that way, so there's also a way to get a reverse chronological list (i.e. most recent first) of stories / chapters / episodes, presented in teaser format (as on the main page, but just for that author). To use that route, remember the author's 'handle' (name / pseudonym), then click "Authors" in the navigation bar at the top of the screen (Home / Stories / Solos / Serials / Authors / Blogs etc.), then on their handle.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
