Writing Returns to Gopher!

Was holding off on doing this until I had all the stories in for the year, but I’ve finally gotten around to resorting my writing page, making it a little less discombobulated and keeping only the ones I still like, and more importantly, getting most of the Pennyverse stories up on Somnolescent’s Gopher server again.
If you weren’t around back when we initially launched the Gopherhole in late 2018, my stories were up on there, but when I brought it back earlier this year, I didn’t really care to carry them over. Now that I’ve got a few better ones under my belt, I do. Some of the ones I like less than the others are listed as “outtakes”, and if I have a change of heart about the other older ones, they’ll be under that banner too.
I’ve also reformatted all the stories to be 80-column and use Markdown. As far as I know, there are no Gopher clients that can natively parse Markdown (which is a shame), but I write all the text files in it anyway in case someone wants to download them and read them in a Markdown viewer or something (if such a thing exists).
I mean, that’s ostensibly what Gopher’s for, right? Retrieving files and then reading them offline…?
This is just a smaller update, since I’ve really been meaning to do it for months now. I’m gonna go shower now.
