Continuing to upload home brewed stuff, other writeups, and to fix wrestler pictures (as well as some pre-Crisis LSH stuff).

The Search page has been redone in order to include a search engine that can search entire site. Should be pretty useful for a number of purposes, such as searching for specific writers, characters with given powers, characters related to other characters, etc. It doesn’t parse the entire site yet, though – but it’s a first step.
