Great! I have the answer I was hoping for. I'm relieved that I can continue in the same vein I was in. And just a bit about the story; Roland mentions that the remaining gunslingers (I presume those that were not at Jericho Hill ) went on the quest for the Dark Tower and something is mentioned about the rest of these dying, giving up, etc and Roland ending up as the last one. The protagonist of this story is one of these gunslingers. (probably quite a popular topic for DT fanfic but I hope I can make it somewhat original and Stephen Kingish...it'll certainly be a horror story at any rate)
