Prepare your mind for contact:

That was well done, the tale of Bombadil and the One Lens, err Ring. It takes a truly exceptional mind to fuse JRR. Tolkien, EE "Doc" Smith, and Dr. Seuss into a single whole. I think it is safe to say that you are fast approaching, if you have not already reached, the Third Stage.

I read your book today, and enjoyed it. Oddly enough I got here from the Bar (in a roundabout fashion) and was surprised to discover you had an LJ.

Good luck with future books.

Ahh, youth, you do me too much credit. Even a mind of very moderate power, provided with the clues inherent in the sources, would be able to visualize this solution in toto.

On other stuff in your message..

... It's not all that odd to find things in a roundabout fashion on the Net. It's such a webwork of connections that it's actually odder if you get there in a straight line! :)

The LJ is a very new thing for me. I actually started keeping one after I encountered a reference to Digital Knight in StClairs LJ.

BTW, if there's any evidence of my Third Stage candidacy, it'd either be from my "Doc Smith Fashion" pastiche or my collaboration with Brenda Clough "Terminators of Endearment, or Pride and Extreme Prejudice", the latter crossing Jane Austen and the Terminator movies.
