Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for the honor of facing you in this tournament, and for the use of your fantastic character. I hope you decide to stick around while the story plays out!

My thanks to you in turn. Cheers.

Now, onwards, friend. Go off to high places.

Heh, high places. That's funny because they're going to a space station. But that aside, thank you very much.

Indeed, or to a top-tier ranking, or to the highest points of writing and story-craft, or up into the air on big black wings (although the use of the last in outer-space may be somewhat confounded). It was a versatile little bit of phrasing. What can I say, I have a penchant for poly-pertinence. It's just so much more efficient, like playing a musical chord. Why pluck all of the notes individually when you can just play them all at once.

Well, looks like you'll be using Doc a little sooner than you thought! We've been paired against each other for round 2, and I just want to say I'm looking forward to the challenge! Good luck to you, and I shall try my best to do Ether justice!

I have complete faith in your abilities (which, of course, presents something of a two-edged sword in this case). So, have at 'er, my esteemed companion-foe!

In my turn, I'll do my best to render Doc well and give him a good run. (No killing, either. I promise.) This should also give me the chance to include a little treatment of Ara that I was hoping to get the chance to do (you know, without people getting angry at me for it).

Anyway, very good luck to you, too! Cheers!

Also, thanks. (The food was a bit wanting, but the in-flight entertainment made up for it. The traveller's insurance helped, too.)

I feel a deep need for more of your words; I hope your muse finds you again, very soon.

Wow. Just wow. Your writing is absolutely magnificently executed in every way! I myself am a moderately skilled writer, but you just blow me out of the water! The way you compose words together is like a symphony orchestra, divine and beautiful in nature, elegant and graceful. Much respect to you for your talent! Please do the world the favor of continuing to gift us with your amazing work!

Halcyal In reply to Hailt0TheKing [2012-11-23 05:40:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, goodness, now I'm feeling all fluffed and flattered. Those are some very kind compliments that you're throwing at me. I'm not quite sure if I should receive them or dodge aside. It's like being fanned with gusts.

I'm glad that what I'm able to offer has struck with positive effect. That is the high, low and central core of what I strive and aim for. Indeed, that I might achieve and share it is my deepest struggle and delight.

I appreciate your encouragement as well. I admit that a person doesn't mind being buoyed a bit every now and then (even if that lift comes as a bit of a lofting squall). I tend to keep to myself more than not, and coming here has been something of an experiment; an experiment that, if I am being honest, hasn't always felt like a success. Putting up a poem, only to watch it get zero views for its month, let alone anything else, can get a person contemplating matters of purpose and point. I try not to be vain, but I am still human. That said, there have been many bright points too (including several poems that likely never would have been otherwise), and they are quite certainly dear.

So, though the inspiring muse remains ever her own creature, I will endeavour not to disappoint, and can only say thanks.

You have certainly earned it. I'd like to think that people appreciate art outside their own little windows and aside from their fandoms and interests and gadgets, but sometimes they're just as shallow and ignorant of the rest of the world as they appear. It's truly a shame that such great talent goes unnoticed and truly creative ideas are lost amongst an audience that could care less unless a specific big name network or company is the creator. The world is largely afraid of what is new and what is different so they stay with what they know and don't give new ideas a chance. I have seen it time and again. I just hope that my work will be noticed in the storm of media, that it reaches out and grips an audience. I hope the same for you and Know that I will appreciate your work if nothing else.

I can only say you're welcome!

Hi there,

This message is probably a little overdue (like weeks overdue xD), but I want to thank you so much for watching me. I hope that you'll continue to enjoy the kind of work that I do and keep reading my poetry and literary works.

Also, in case you didn't know I have a live youtube episode of WordofChen that is released every sunday!

If you'd like to check it out, the links can be found on every poem

If you're interested in my facebook or other stuff. Just check out my main page or send me a note (if lazy)

Alrighty, thanks again and bye for now

Your poems, especially White Sleep, Of Night And Moon and River Soul, have words that weave and wave in such a way as to touch the soul. A pleasure to read.
