Oh, I thought this was the introduction to a story you were writing.

I get it now. But if you wanted to, maybe expand that out to a short book report/review of "My Daddy Long-Legs."

We can share it over to public blogs.

I didn't want to tell too much about the plot since that would be a spoiler and I already got more spoilers than I wanted before I watched it myself. I will say that it is about an orphan girl who is sent to high school by a mysterious benefactor to whom she must write letters without getting direct replies and without knowing his real name. She only knows him as John Smith, but nicknames him Daddy Long-legs.

You may find my group Entertaining Literary Discussion semi-interesting, though I supose you are not all that interested in literature...however, considering that you thought Little Hydrogen or The Devil on Two Sticks in London a "good find", I may have misjudged you.

Daddy says you were an English Major. Sorry for misjudging you. First impressions you know (by the way, if you don't mind me nearly making a pun [or verbacide as the atocrat of the breakfast table would call it] First Impressions was the name Jane Austen originally gave what was since published as Pride and Predjudiced).

Yes, he told me you had already finished a huge amount of creative writing. If you post stories on Fnora it'll give the new users something cool to read. As you've found out, though, be sure to save your work separately as well as on Fnora. Your dad had done amazing work but there are always unexpected problems with a new site that is in testing. I lost a blogpost last night because I didn't save my QTML file before hitting "publish." That's how we find problems on a new site, though. I think he's already worked out a solution. It was my fault for being careless anyway.
