Heh.  Honestly, Escape and A Kind of Paradise are not that long.  They're short stories.  If you want long, check out [[Colony]] or the unfinished [[User:JonBuck/Forgotten Hotel|Forgotten Hotel]].

Cool, another story list. :) Feel free to rip off design elements from mine, and if you want suggestions or tips on how to format stuff just ask. I'm pretty experienced with wiki formatting and templates and such.
