Thanks Atlanta! Glad you're enjoying the story! Also glad to learn that I'm not making this trip alone, though I wasn't really expecting much response after the first few chapters. Keeping up that kind of commentary would be punishing! Anyway, I'm very pleased to hear from you!

You're certainly not alone. For days at a time, I avoid TT and other distractions, to catch up on work, but I enjoy coming back, especially to follow this story.

I often wanted to comment, but hated to interrupt the flow of the story. It seemed like graffiti or putting annoying ads in a comic book. But, you didn't seem to mind, so:

I enjoyed the photo's. The paper mache mask was actually rather good.
I appreciate the dialects that help differentiate the many characters (so many!). I like the multiple story lines created by sending the heros on separate but related quests.

So, never fear, your public is reading along.

Thank you, Leenotler! I hope I didn't come across as whiny in my answer to Atlanta, because I'm really quite pleased with the numbers for this story, and the commentary has been both lively and generous (particularly yours!) I understand fully about not wanting to interupt the story's momentum. I really didn't anticipate a running response for this much material (nor, as you say, would it have been strictly desireable; your comic book ad comparison is quite apt). All the offered compliments are most deeply appreciated, however!

I'm glad you like the parallel plot lines; I've always favored this sort of involved storytelling, and could barely wait to get past the set-up stage to start cross-cutting! Ultimately, I'd like to start doing this in the Low Roads series as well. And thank you for your nice comments about the background photos! I have plenty of momentos from the show (old photos, props, promotional graphics, etc.) and eventually I'd like to fill up all the gaps with similar material.

So thank you for taking the time to write! Such encouragement is really energizing and makes the effort involved a joy to continue!
