I'm glad you liked it so much. I have had several emails regarding the ending,
some people really didn't like it. I guess there's just no pleasing some
people. I was trying to aim for an ending that would tie up all the loose ends
and leave people with a sense of completion.

I have to admit I like the nightmare too. The mist/shadow effects in those
pictures are amung my favorite effects I've ever done.

I've been called the king of plot twists before, though I'm not quite sure if I
deserve quite that high of a title.

I just hope my dragon's aren't the last masterpieces I'll ever create.

That's the main topic of the emails I've received. In hindsight I suppose I
could have drug it out further, but by that time, the action had evolved into
such a fast paced series of events, slowing down in the middle of it didn't
seem to be the greatest of ideas. I wanted it all to come to a head and have
it all happen at once. I guess I didn't get there as well as I'd hoped.

Yeah, this is the one major reason why I don't think my story will do as well
as other people have said it will. It has been suggested to me to keep the
pictures within the story, but I don't think a single publisher would accept my
story like that. LEGO illustrations would work well in a children's book, it's
just too bad I don't want my story to be focused for that audience.

Thanks for being a fan! I'm glad you've enjoyed my story so much.

The odds are against it, but I certainly wouldn't complain to watch my story on
the big screen!

Only time will tell on that one.
Thanks for the response!
