First of all thanks for the incredibly flattering words. Secondly I love this character as much as you do and really want him to be out there. Thirdly--the best part--Werner and the Goblin Queen did go into hiatus for a while but it's almost done. It ended up taking on a life of its own and is now at 7k words. I just need to get him safely out of the Her Majesty's bedroom with jewels and we're done - maybe 1000 words left?

You have inspired me sir -- I will look to finish the draft by the end of the weekend.
