Miscellaneous Alec Stories

This page collects Alec-related material. Some of it has been reworked into Alec "proper", some of it was unpublished until now, and some did not find its place in the collected editions. There are also stories from the Alec universe, as Georgette and Dapper John.

First up, the first attempt at Alec that recently resurfaced in the Bacchus pages.
