Before the creation of Jihad Universe 2.0, there were already plenty of stories about the Jihad and it's exploits across the world. Most of these contradicted, some of them were just out and out strange, but all of them were pretty damn entertaining.

Sadly, only a small handful of the megabytes of words produced between 1991 and 1995 still exist. The Archives now presents these remnants as an example of the Jihad Universe 1.0's work.

(Note: If anybody reading this has Jihad writing from between 1991 and 1995/96 that they would like to share, please email the Archivist at mrfnord@amigo.net. Thank you.)

 

ADDITIONAL: The Archivist would like to extend many thanks to Tracy J, the Finder of Lost Postings, for locating and sending us a glut of long-lost stuff.

 

ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL: The JU1 setting is, right now and for the forseeable future, closed to new submissions. We regret any inconvienence this may cause, but we feel that the setting is mainly historical in nature and should not be added to. -- The Archivist, 07/16/2004

 The Fox Files (part 1), by J. FoxGlov

StryfeFall, by J-Rock
The first of three stories dealing with the Jihad's fight against ancient net.troll Stryfe, or as he liked to call himself, "STRRRRRRYYYYYYYFFFFFFEEEEE!!!" An entertaining read, if nothing else.
