Well, it "comes from" the fact that some trilogies seem to take a long time to reach the third leg, as has been noted here before, and not a particular attack on you personally. Quite the contrary, I hope any series doesn't go that way, especially if I'm reading and hooked by it ! So I'm very pleased on your behalf that you have made a decent start, as it were. So thank you for the courtesy, even though I may not deserve it.
"...And while I'm having a little mini rant...."
Go to it, everyone else does ! 
" .....'pleases remember the golden "please make this your golden" rule':If you're going to be snarky and nasty to random authors, do take the time to punctuate it properly......"
Well, sorry about the extra "s", late night fatigue, actualy, oops actually, but apart from that I think the puncuation is as I wish it to read.
And I wasn't, to my mind, being "nasty", rather expressing, again, feelings that have been brought up before here, and nothing random about the authors whatsoever - and mine were quite gentle, I thought.( I'm afraid I don't know the vernacular "snarky" ). I do so hate anyone being "nasty", my dear.
Well... that's probably killed the thread stone dead. Onwards and upwards... sigh. |
Oh, I doubt that ........
We're a pretty broad-minded lot here, no need for sighs ......
[ again, sorry about the format - I 'll sort it out eventually !!
