Far, far away in electromagnetic space, by the whim of chance (or maybe not), a long time ago, at least earlier than you thought, a certain literary forum was formed. Because the place was chosen well or for some other reason, but years have passed, and the forum has not gone anywhere and is still in its old place, so to speak about a network resource. Its inhabitants are very different people, although, perhaps, the word “people” somewhat leads away from understanding the essence of literary creativity, especially since forum members, as a rule, did not have physiological signs of the genus homo. For example, last names and first names and patronymics were completely absent. However, all these minor inconveniences did not in the least interfere with the main thing, namely, the difficult work in modern times of creating fantastic, near-fantastic and even completely non-fantastic works of the very genre that is more often called simply a story. The complete absence of such relics of reason as surnames finally led to a logical positive result - the publication of a collection of works by the above-mentioned ephemeral personalities, about whom there is literally nothing and no one to say anything good or bad, and the only thing that can be done is to read everything, or almost everything, that is written here. Perhaps it will seem to you that you have already seen one of the authors somewhere - so what? Happens. If only you liked the story, but the stories here are very different. You will certainly like at least one, but two or ten are better. Attributes of the mind like names and patronymics, to be honest, are a minor matter.
