  In addition to the two stories by Nick, there were three by me, two
  by Iain Alexander and one by Mark Shoulson. There were also some
  character descriptions in English. All these appeared in ju'i lobybli
  in 1993. I have linked copies of my stories to my personal home page
  ( http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/people/vilva/vilva.html ) which is about
  ready to be made public. I have also got copies of the other ckafybarja
  stories tucked away somewhere.

  after I've fulfilled a silly requirement of acquiring a certificate
  of my ability to use English in unmoronic ways. Nope.
