D1 = First draft, meaning it hasn’t been edited since it was first posted.
D2 = Second Draft, meaning I’ve gone back and tidied up grammar and spelling mistakes, taken care of continuity errors, and fine tuned plot direction.
D3 = Third Draft, meaning I’ve gotten whatever mistakes I missed the first time, and maybe added new dialogue/scenes.
IP = In Progress, meaning the chapter isn’t finished yet!
B = Bonus Updates, which are side stories focusing on a particular character or group, usually depicting some aspect of their past. These stories WERE (as in no longer) earned either through a bonus points system or every 10 facebook fans. These originally weren’t necessary to read, but are now highly recommended, and are best read in the order they appear in the table of contents.
INT = Intermission, stories written between story parts so that my mind can take a rest. Sometimes centers around characters not typically seen during the main story.
