Thank you. I wasn't fishing for compliments, however, and I don't want it to seem that way.

I know you did, and I appreciate it. I just wanted to make it clear for other readers that it wasn't a "please compliment me" moment. :)

When I was in high school and writing my aborted novel, my main character kept using "hellfire" for the longest time. Heh.

Also: in a recent poem I used the word "nadir." I try to keep the SRD-isms to homage level.

My writing was influenced not only by SRD's style but by his very presence. I don't recall having any interest in wanting to write before I read LFB.

Thank you, Relayer. I'm suprised no one thought of it before now. :-)
