    Default W&G's Backstory

    It has been suggested that the Susan story was inspired by Ken Follett.
    Any thoughts?

    And the entire series was inspired by Master J.R.R. Tolkien. Not to mention Sergio Leone's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". Your point?


    Where are you trying to go with this?

    A lot of authors use other works for inspiration. So??????

    Just a point of interest. It was suggested by a friend of mine who's read both. I don't think anyone has noted this possible inspiration before. Or have others noted it? (which really is my question).

    Look Good Sir, these thoughts and topics have been very well discussed and already have well-established threads. The moderators do not appreciate new threads being created for thoughts that are more appropriate as "Reply's" or post inside those established threads. See what I mean?

    Just a suggestion, but maybe you should read through some of the existing threads and reply or initiate post in them. You'll likely get more responses and opinions that way.

    This thread will more than likely get merged anyway.

    Hope I was of some help.

    Are you a Moderator? If so, I apologise. You've personally made me feel unwelcome since I arrived. I can't be expected to read every thread before starting a new topic that I think is new.

    No, I am not a Moderator. However, I am friends with quite a few of them and understand the policies. I have tried to be as accomodating as I can and I apologize if I have made you feel unwelcome. However, you seem to contiue to do the these things even though we have tried to guide you to the proper channels.

    Yes, you are expected to read through existing threads and are more than encouraged to share your thoughts, theories and observations in the context of those discussions and to introduce new ideas.

    If it will make you feel better, I'll bow out here. Good Luck to you and enjoy.

    You said I was on drugs on another thread. Anyway, I bow out, too. I hope some folk enjoy my recent 'real-timing' of the whole DARK TOWER series, a series of which I have become an enormous fan.
    all the best, des

    I am pleased to report that Merlin1958 and I have mutually apologised by private message. And I promise to try to shape up better with forum protocols.

    I am pleased, too.

    Weirdmonger: there's nothing wrong about people trying to keep the site in order, whether or not they are moderators. Also, it is very advisable to search existing threads before starting one's own.

    I am very happy the problem seems to be over.

    Merlin:

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
