Another one 'suckered' in

[primsong]

I just got a great email note from my dad - he discovered my "Nothing of Note" and declared - after apparently reading it all in one fell swoop (at that point, 68 chapters) - he had a 'dead butt.'

Enjoying it and intrigued by the Brave New World of Tolkien fanfic, he then requested other author's names that I thought were a good ride through Middle-earth. I sent him a short list of the ones I consider our shining stars... and then received this:

"Aloha; Still gnawing at the ropes that hold this story in place, like a blasted rat! When I first read your "best authors" advice, I MISread :Intense and Angry" It was, of course, "angsty", BUT, it definitely suckered me in. I am now on my second "dead butt" day pursuing this tale of the actual capture of the Hobbits! Sonovabitch!! The bad guys HAVE them!! Not good, sez I. BUT, this is such a collage of the MOVIE/ TOLKIEN/ And PERSONAL TALENT, that it is virtually seamless...All Hail Northstar. My butt gets even more numb. My mind HOWEVER is invigorated, I am hanging onto my hat, as the Queen of Cliff Hangers does me in. Dad"

All hail NorthStar, our ((((psychotic_kiwi)))))

((((hugs you tight)))) I should send him one of those "Maine Pine" pillows so at least he could get some aromatherapy while he reads. :)
