Thanks! That is much appreciated. I've been enjoying reading your work over the last year, too. And amazingly, we're now pretty much exactly halfway towards hearing that bellowing Leonidas impression! I can almost feel my speakers vibrating already! Haha... 😎

Maybe you can live stream it if they unroll that to everyone in time! 😉

Thanks, Rod! That is much appreciated. And thanks for all your support over the last year. I saw a couple of other people putting together anthologies of the work they've been doing on here, and I thought it was a really great idea. Because it's lovely to enjoy stories online, but it's even lovelier to enjoy them in a book... 😎
