Really?? I'm the guy who inspired you in the business of writing kickass, expansive sidestories?? Never woulda guessed, but boy, am I genuinely touched! Man, I knew churning out "50 Evaluations" was the right thing to do. But who'd have thought one little daydream I came up with while driving a motor home from Wisconsin to Illinois would go so far? If that doesn't light a fire under my ass to crank out my next opus, then I don't know what will.

The upside to my all hard work is that the worst thing I've sacrificed is a few hours of sleep. Small price to pay to get stuff like Love by The Blade and 50 Evaluations off the ground. Every sidestory I've worked on thus far has seen the light of day, and I'm happy as a clam that they did. Only one thing worse than pouring blood, sweat and tears for yer pet projects is to pour blood, sweat and tears for 'em and then throw in the towel halfway through. I've been there before, and it feels lousy. That was the last thing I wanted to do with this, and I'm proud of myself for sticking it out.

But with all that said, I reckon I oughta to find you a better role model than a guy who swoons over genocidal yandere goddesses.
