Sir Winston Churchill, famed as a writer, artist, orator, and historian as well as a politician, was born this day 134 years ago. Jake does a fine impersonation of him. Churchill appeared briefly in a dream sequence in one Daria fanfic, but apparently in no other.I'll reserve the space below for listing stories, if any are added today.
LATE NOTE: After discovering that some of the links at left are "extinct," I am going through and revising the link lists. Per a good suggestion made some time ago by several people, I am breaking down the bigger lists into smaller ones for easier reading.
P.S. Some interesting things have come to light (interesting to me, anyway), as a result of checking old links at left. All AOL Hometown websites were turned off on Halloween of this year, which killed a few fan sites. I guess my old spacecraft site is dead, too. Oh, well.
I discovered a fanfiction archive in which every link is broken... except for those leading to stories by Ronin. A horror, but what can you do. More soon.

Churchill was also an incredible badass -- on his 21st birthday, he was in Cuba covering some tiff between Cubans and Spain, and was overjoyed to come under fire for the first time.
Also, during his tenure as a soldier in World War I, he was bored of his behind-the-front-lines post because they all drank tea, and so requested a front-line post since alcohol was permitted at the front.
The Non-Ronin stories can be accessed by using the wayback add-on of Firefox.
Yes.
Wait, what wayback add-on? You aren't talking about Archive.org, right?
Yeah, I am. The add-on is Wayback 0.2.3. and it works in Firefox 2.0.(supposedly it's good only for versions up to 1.5, but it still works on all the 2.0 versions so far). It lets you to check the page you are browsing in the
waybackmachine archive without having to go to the Archive.org page and copy paste Urls. All you have to do is right click the page, highlight Wayback Page* and click it. It'll bring up all the archived dates for that page and you pick the one you want.
