Thank you! I sent Dennis a message.

Please just be keeping that old Chester Copperpot away from my booty. I know how excited some people down in Oregon get about treasure hunting.

I really enjoyed this and I would like to help keep the magic alive so let me know how best I can assist with that endeavor.

Aye, so honored says me says I. Feelin' the salty winds of Disney a blowin' a crossover event betwixt Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Sabers of light versus cutlasses of steel. Furry Ewoks versus hairy-chested deckhands! A thousand blessings upon thee for the generosity.

Chuck, I think you just inspired me to seek out some pirate erotica.

I've been wanting to ask you...how did you write your story Eleanor? I attempted reading that story and lasted only a few pages because it hurt my head. But I still love the fact that the story is in there. I'm always blown away with how writers play with language.

But how did you write that? Did you write a normal story and then in a future draft, substituted words with similar sounding words? Was there a method to your madness?

I just finished your short story "Phoenix." Tell me that you did not glean that story from real world accounts Mr. Palahniuk... :p
