NOTE ON THE STORIES OF JOE WHATEVER by C. Lakewood Joe Whatever wrote a fairly large number of fairly short stories, primarily 2002-2004, generally having a spanking theme. Most of them were about 3KB (some 500 words) each. There were a few longer ones, however, and a fair number of very much shorter ones (only about 50 words each) that I have termed "mini-stories." With permission of the author, I have included 52 of them here -- almost all of those that I have been able to locate. The editing on most of them was minimal and largely mechanical -- punctuation, spelling, continuity, and, occasionally, word choice. The two longest entries here -- "Lisa and Terri," Parts 1-2 -- tend to plod at times (despite the deletion of much excess verbiage and needless repetition). But "18 Again" is almust as long and is a classic AR story, and "Serial Teen" quite a novel approach. Moreover, for all their brevity, there are some real gems among the short pieces -- including my favorites, "Psychology," "Tattle Tail," "The Other Side of the Door," "Uncertainty," and "Voices" (each of which, though complete in itself, leaves plenty of room for the reader to imagine a follow-on to suit himself).
