- i thought of chanting 'do it, do it, do it,' but then thought,
- 'although larne has a wonderful idea and certainly is intelligent
- and creative and all, and his story would certainly be worth
- reading, would it be a bad thing if he then spawns a new genre of
- literature, based on people transcribing the sagas of their own
- little SimCreations? all the dungeons and dragons tales of a few
- years back got tiresome really quickly (in that case, about 1/3
- through the first story).'

- still and all,
- 'do it, do it, do it'
