"And Searge saw that it was good."
Heh, good to here the opinion of an old fan. And you're right, this story did shape my writing.
I do regret never finishing it though, and maybe some day I will get around to adding to it (maybe sooner than expected; writing this has given me some of the old spark and I might get out a chapter or two).
And I love how you think this story played such a big role in the forums
, that sort of thing makes it all worth while!
Man, I've said that line loads of times over the years.
