Honestly, the journey for this story was fairly frustrating, but I never gave up on it. It's great to know I won't have to submit "FanFare" around for a nice, long while!

The road is long and winding...full of stones and pot-holes...but isn't it the journey, not the destination which is the most enjoyable part of it? And if money comes with-all, we can have a good time on the way.

Thanks for reading! In the past two years, we've seen Google and Facebook become Big Brother and Little Brother; you have every right to be paranoid.

I just read it - so clever and fun and thought provoking. It pushed every one of my paranoid buttons. The ending was fantastic. I hope Hermann enjoys his new freedom.

Ella: You're right; when we believe in our work, the rejections don't sting as much.

Ah the comment form finally came up. I loved the story. It really is my kinds of story - how can anyone say it didn't work for them? I've had editors say the same about some of my stories. I gave up submitting them. But your persistence has paid off. great. Glad I got o read it.

That really WAS a fabulous ending. I was grinning all the way through the story, though, because it was great fun. ... and, admittedly, I was amused that you referenced Bobby Brown, and wondering what on earth a poem about cheese and starfish would look like.

(Probably best to leave some questions unanswered.)

Well done for just never giving up, Milo!
