   Anthony,

          Sorry it took me so long to reply (it wasn't the ending). Believe
it or not I was going to be the first to reply at one stage, now after a
couple browser problems a bout of flu and a wedding I am ready to say...

     CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your epic, brilliant dedication, a great
story, and some amazing MOCs.

   Best wishes on any publishing attempt and your up coming lego moc line
(Daniel told me all about it)...

And of course, PLMKWYT!

       Which brings me to some comments and questions;

  I am assuming constructive criticism is welcome, if not ignore below and
skip to stuff I liked...
I really liked your book and enjoyed the routing you took in outline form.
My main sugggestion would be that if you want to publish it the traitors
need to be developed as characters earlier on. All I recalled of them was a
list of names around a table somewhere early on. That said I liked the
principle traitor (pardon my memory of names)and would love to see a rivalry
or false kindness involving Garalt and him developed early on.
   The other thing that I couldn't understand (please inform me) is the
number of traitors. A cou that large doesn't require secrecy, it all ready
is the whole goverment except a few. When the defenders are in such a
minority it is more of a cabinet shuffle then a civil war or plot.
   Last question, what was Elthred (sp?) doing with Jared (sp?). If he
really meant well he would not have been in the plot. This seems like two
independant evils working together which was never clarified.
   Really Last question, what was Elthred's remark to Zakar about sending
Eorrel (sp) or somebody to the mines? Don't remeber who or exact quote, it
was right at the end of the battle though.

    Stuff I liked:

       -Swift Strike in the end was great. Nice plot twist with the
giant(kinda sad for sentimental types like me) but still good.
       -Maya's (?)house dissapering
       -Swift Strike's secret order (very mysterious)
       -The end
       -All the rest

             Please give me some answers (Ireplied to the original post)

       Thanks for a great story and being the life of .castle (with others)

          God Blesss,

             Nathan

Fianal question: When did you start on the story (release it)? Before I
found Lugnet anyway.

(...) Thanks much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't worked much on it yet, but in the next few weeks I have plans to start reworking the story for publication. As for a LEGO MOC line, I'm afraid Daniel has given you the wrong idea. I don't know (...) (22 years ago, 2-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle)

The return of the epic or just a really long short story? Yes, it's finally here. My friends, I am very proud to bring to you the final installment to the Chronicles of Ikros.
