I hear you all, but I still think there is luck involved, the kind of luck I simply don't have. I want to tell a story, I want to tell it well and for people to like it - and for the first time in 20 years of trying to do that I know I've cracked it with this one. Fashion and time are also against me, the bubble for fantasy must be about to burst, I'd rather do the same amount of marketing a publishing house would expect me to do for more of the profits...

I'm going viral and I'll take it from there.

Cheers

Oh yeh and PS, I'm rubbish at poker
Oh and PPS, they did get a code book but I'm not sure it was the full monty was it? My knowledge is sketchy but I thought they broke the code and the captured stuff just cut the decoding times by giving them the settings... could be talking bollocks though... I usually do ;-)
