I want to acknowlege a huge debt of gratitude to Bill the Pony as she takes down "Bill's Paddock" today. I doubt if she will ever realize how much joy she has brought to those of us in the fandom.

Hello, Nimue....

There are a number of reasons I'm leaving. Discord in the fandom and a conflict between my fannish life and my real life career are two of the primary ones. They are both troublesome, but the latter is particularly urgent and is mostly to blame for me removing my site, along with its expense.

I'm very pleased to hear you enjoyed the stories so much! They have been a pleasure for me to write, as well, and hearing how someone else has enjoyed them is the icing on the cake. I am happy to hear that I cheered you up during a bad time, in particular.

I had hoped to finish Rentboy Sam, but it was not to be-- if ever I do get inspired to finish it, it should be posted on West of the Moon, along with most of my other hobbit fics. I did know how it was to end, but never got around to it....

I too hope to see you around. Thanks again for your lovely comment! :-)

Thank you, Laurel! The Paddock is up until the 12th, according to my host; I knew then 9th was when he had last billed me, but I have 3 more days. :-)

I'm pleased to know how much the stories meant to you. The praise of a good reader means more to me than anything else could!
