The he...

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 1)

That's easy: When you look at the actual links, you'll see that they are all .php links, _except_ chapters 9 and 16, which are still .htm.

http://crusade.darkicon.com/vol1no9.php
http://crusade.darkicon.com/vol1no16.php

Enjoy!

I think this hasn't been posted yet. I know next to nothing about Stargate, and nearly nothing about Highlander, but I enjoyed it tremendously. Main character is Methos, btw.
