a good sense by reading them in the order posted. New characters are introduced in their own stories that way, and intermix at later stories. That way they are familiar and not a surprise. FM has almost a complete list, but a while back she started giving them to Bob to post on his site (Stardust), and they appear there first. A lot of her older stories have been added to Stardust, but the release order may be a bit messed up that way. A list from those two sites side by side will give a very close "proper" list. Just watch the release or copywrite dates if shown. She also has a good number that don't intermix that are also great reading. She also did a story that fits in Tyrone Slothrop's Angel Universe, and Angel has been mentioned in a couple of Julie's stories where the different agencies work together.

A good way to do it would be to sit down and just start reading. The stories are all new (a few are kind of formulaic in a small way, even with different plots and characters), have your favorite beverage handy (you'll be reading a while), maybe some Kleenex, and just be comfortable and enjoy. I have started to pre-title my collection by adding a number to the start so they are in order instead of grouped by name or whatever. Enjoy!
