This is really so, so terrific! I was afraid for a while there that you had stopped updating, and we wouldn't have a happy (right??!!!) ending. I'm so glad to see more chapters; they just get better and better!

Just popping in to say I miss this story! I was a bad reader *slaps own wrist* not reviewing because I hadn't set up an MTT login. Anyway, your stuff is generally great (like "Beigeman" and "Girly-Girl") but I hope this one hasn't gone by the wayside. [/end of fangirl note]
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm really enjoying writing this story and hope to have another chapter up this week! Thanks for generally liking my stuff. If you like Beigeman and Girly-Girl, I highly recommend Nomadshan's Princess Bride and, of course, all of Moxie's stuff. I wish I had more time in the day so I could write all the stuff I want to, but in the meantime there are A LOT of other great writers (THANK GOD!) on MTT!

I wasn't saying that MTT readers aren't great, I was just saying that I was surprised that you don't have one of those little ribbion thingys (red or blue?) for this story. While I agree that you're getting a lot of praise. . .you should be getting so much more. And that's saying something. I meant that people who don't understand the middle ages, or are only on here for quick fluff/smut fixes probably wouldn't take the time to read this story, which is a real shame, because they're missing out.
Author's Response:
Oh, the ribbony things, LOL! I can't tell you how unenviable the job must be to work the MTT site, they get roughly 20 stories a day, 5 or 6 of which are DAMN good and they only give out the ribbon things like every 4 or 5 days. How they decide, I will never know. I know I couldn't do it.
Thank you for such the complements though. Like I said earlier I'm surprised at the number of people who are reading it and it makes me happy to know that there are people out there, like me, who find this stuff interesting. I think people who watch the Office are just more literate than the normal television viewer.

My boss would be sore distressed if she knew how much time I just spent reading this straight-through instead of working. My days as an English major are far behind me, but this brought them screaming back in a good way. Can't wait to see where you are heading!
Author's Response: Ooooh! English major! What was your speciality? Who are your favorite authors? I hope your boss has a sense of humor...

This is really cool, really creative. This could NOT have been easy to write such consistent, authentic sounding diction from feudal times, so this minstrel stands humbled by the brilliance of what thine quill hath wrought. Yeah. It's not easy all right. Great job!
Author's Response: so this minstrel stands humbled by the brilliance of what thine quill hath wrought. Wow! Very nice compliment in keeping with the theme of the story. I am humbled before your praise.
I'm fortunate/unfortunate that I work with medieval manuscripts day in, day out; so there's kind of this groove thing you get into once you start talking. I actually found it much harder to write the Kama Sutra thing that I did. I agonized over that one.... This kind of just rolls off the tongue.

This was fun, keep it up. I'm not sure if this was your intent but it reminded me so far of Bernard Cornwell.
Author's Response: I've never actually read Cornwell. He writes the Sharpe's books, right? About the Napoleonic War? I may be getting him confused with Frobisher. Both writers are popular with my Dad so I'll tell him you said so. It'll make his week!

I love this idea! I especially love the "epic" flavor that you put into the narrative. Please continue!

Aw. How adorable.

Interesting, I really like this a lot! I hope you write more! (Even though, I miss Girly Girl, a lot!)
Author's Response: Luckily I settled out of court with my Beta so now I can start publishing Girly Girl, too! So...second drink!

Canterbury Tales meets "The Office?" Interesting...
Keep it up!
Author's Response:
The Wife of Bath's tale wouldn't DEFINITELY be the way to go.

"holy msn" , Muggins! The Halperts were really space-age back then. Or that's a typo.
Interesting setting for your story, and of course, I'm a fan of James, son of Halpert no matter what the era. I'll be interested to see where you go with this.
I really like that he almost smiled at her! I'm sure she saw it in his eyes. Neat.
Author's Response:
Thanks for finding the typo! I should have you beta everything!
I know this is a departure for MTT but I live and breathe this stuff at work each day so I thought it would be a nice challenge to see if I could incorporate the characters in to a typical Medieval village. The hardest part will be keeping Kelly from saying "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" I'd have to burn her as a witch....
