An Extended List

PRODUCTIVE CODEX (Not Quite EXHAUSTIVE):
OLCHAR E. LINDSANN

The listing below is well-nigh as comprehensive as it's going to get; more hyperlinks and a thoroughly up-to-date online directory are also eventually on their way. (Needless to say, projects initiated under [other] pseudonyms and heteronyms, and projects not intended for public consumption, are excluded.) At some point I will collate an alternative articulation of this material, wherein everything is presented chronologically rather than subdivided into formal or other categories.
In the current thematic format, dates are given in Annum Domini for the benefit of those not committed to the Annum Dada system; the opposite approach will be taken for the chronicle.
A.D. 2002 = A.Da. 86 A.D. 2009 = A.Da. 93 etc.

Here, the activity is organized under the following headings, in a not entirely irrelevant order (I have tended to attempt to reduce redundancy, though some exists in cases of seperate functions perpetrated under the umbrella of a larger event or project):
