Welcome to Dashipedia. This resource is intended to throw some light on the creative process behind Jonathan Pinnock's short story collection Dot Dash. In many ways, this is nothing more than a vain (in more than one sense) attempt to burnish the reputation of the author as a writer of short fiction. However, it is also possible that some may find it interesting and, indeed, instructive.

Also, Wikis can be fun.

The inspiration behind each of the stories in the book may be found here (insofar as the author can remember it), along with any unusual trivia and/or amusing anecdotes.

The Stories

There are a total of 58 stories in the book - 29 dots (the very short ones) and 29 dashes (the not-so-short ones). This is how they appear in the table of contents:
