Thank you ... the slow build-up and long waits between update posts has been more than worth the waiting!

Thank you!

glad you're back and writing again. now that i think about it, you're probably what subconsciously influenced me to toss oddball behavior and pop counter culture references into my own attempts at eLit. still loving this, even as i realize it's been nearly seven goddamn years since you started it.


fucking A. i feel old again.

A little over a year, Oct 06 2012.

Are people who read Lord of the Rings the most famous fantasy novels of all time really well-read? Bit of a stretch, and who could possibly argue that Frodo is better than Bilbo?

The overwhelming majority of people under the age of 40 are functionally illiterate and never read anything more complicated than Sports Illustrated. How many 11 year old girls read classic books like The Hobbit or Moby Dick, much less understand them?

i quoted a two-hundred work paragraph from moby dick to my third grade english teacher. he was annoyed at my reading in class. he stopped interrupting my reading after that. earlier that year i checked the hobbit out of the library. got lost around smaug's demise, picked it back up in seventh grade. went to Florence D Titus elementary school. check the punch out record. we exist. prepubescent bibliophiles are rare. but we exist.

ach. the formatting on the dates fucked me up. i thought it was euro format.

Dear OP,

There are not enough words in the English language to accurately convey my enjoyment of your work. Thank you Sir.

I'm aware. I read Moby Dick (abridged version) when I was 3, and The Hobbit when I was 8.

Please finish this! It's so well written and it's just starting to get really interesting.

I've been following this story for over a year now and now that it's about to end I feel that a part of me dying.
OP, I love you.

>>19965

the hell makes you think this story is ending?

>>19965

Yeah, what the hell makes you think it's ending?

This train has a looooot of track to ride before it derails!

I'm not sure what the plans are for the pace of this story at this time. I would like to see you keep the same slow pace that you have, just because they did some exploring over a weekend doesn't mean they should be seasoned professionals at this. The suspense makes the story a lot better.

Can't wait for more, thanks for the story!

>Ride.
