I was completely flipping out. I love Jay and Acacia. It wasn't too disappointing, though; I'm laughing at myself, and I don't do that too often (I have a history of taking pranks badly). That was cool, thank you.

I read both stories, and I was all set to come back when I had time and be fascinated by the insights into Jay's creative process. So you fooled me—good job!

Re. Ardolindi, Constance is a cruel, cruel woman. Nobody deserves to be woken up like that! And, what was it, "slime and malice"? describes the "Orcs" bit of the song nicely. To be honest, I got a bit tired of hearing it over and over. I can only imagine the effect on poor Dafydd's Elven sensibilities.

(BTW, have you got our cowrite slotted in anytime soon? I'm not in a hurry, just wondering. Also, I'm free Tuesday and Wednesday, if you want to chat.)

Rather enjoyed Ardolindi.

As for the 'Old Doc', was very suspicious- even prior to actually getting to your comment to make clear- especially with the specific outreach to make sure I could read it.

That, and I've had not-quite run-ins with Jay as well so very suspicious indeed.

Problem is, you can probably imagine exactly what we're going to say.
I liked it. It was funny. It was thoroughly enjoyable, the characters were likeable, everyone acted like humans (and half-orcs and dwarfs and children) and it was funnily written. I could spend a week looking for a problem I had with it, and I probably wouldn't find anything.
It was a small page of condensed charm.

Just feels lazy to say 'It was good,' without anything else, y'know? Feels like there ought to be something of more substance to say.

...

In order to fix this, I added substance to my post by complaining about a perceived lack of substance.

(Sorry for getting you all excited over a fake... :-/)

Anyway, thank you! Laughter was definitely the aim here, so I'm glad it worked. ^_^
