"Her Father's Daughter" also mentions...what's his name again? That pirate guy...begins with a Y...

Yes, it mentions Yoritomo.

"The World, A Stage", makes reference to Soshi Shiori and Yogo Junzo.

Completely unimportant person. Disregard.

@KakitaKaori Thank you for your notes, honorable Crane - I did not even think to include the Learn To Play book.

@DGLaderoute Thank you for pointing out those omissions and thank you for two (so far) great pieces of fiction.

I rather doubt you meant "Crane" in your Dark Hands of Heaven writeup. ;)

Glad you noticed before a Crab did, honorable Phoenix.

"Koburi Sozan" should be "Kobori Sozan."

I suppose just to ask and double check, you are aware of Kaze no Shiro , yes?

FFG have their own compilation of the Fiction under the Support section of the product page: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/legend-of-the-five-rings-the-card-game/

It does lack the details of this thread's OP, of course.

The FFG page doesn't even manage to include all the pdfs. A Most Suitable Teacher, the post-Kiku Matsuri story is missing https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/d0/5e/d05ebe51-e750-4c22-8e69-44e52ed68c12/kiku_matsuri_postludea.pdf as is In the Garden of Lies (Part 1) https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/05/90/05909abe-a1f2-4721-8d21-9542cfa16fe5/l5r_in-the-garden-of-lies_part1compressed.pdf

Ishikawa Seppun should be Seppun Ishikawa.

Ah thanks, @Ide Yoshiya , it was bound to happen at least once!

The Fate of Flames is missing. It should go right before the halloween one

Many thanks, @Mon no Oni - updated accordingly.

Hello,

The Stories We Tell is out.

Also, the Tears of Amaterasu pack fiction got leaked . Not sure if you plan to include also the fictions that are not officially uploaded by FFG, but I think is a good idea.

I would like to, but I am not buying the expansions (no one to play with). So I will update the OP with whatever info that people who buy the packs will share here. I edited in the info you provided and credited you. Thank you for this contribution!

Your manners are a credit to your clan, honorable Crane.
