Is it intended to limit those postings to Swarm-related stories? JJ had a lot of non-Swarm short stories and serials before he took his ASSTR site down...

It's up to JJ what he might want to port over, but only swarm stories should go into the Cycle. 

I confess, I've only read a few of his non-swarm stories.I'm re-reading "It's a Little Pick-me-up" for the 1st time in a long while. It has some really interesting canon items. Like how the Sa'arm became named the Swarm...

QM:  Do you mean here?  No, absolutely not!  This is a common forum for writers and other interested people.  The Swarm Cycle is what drew us together, but many of us also write other things too, and we argue over that just as much.
 
Mike:  You really can't take anything JJ said seriously.  The man LOVES word games.  And, much of the serious side of what he wrote would fit the 'Culture' series of books a lot better than the Swarm Cycle.  Not that I object to that, but don't go looking for canon in his stuff.
