Stephen R. Donaldson's birthday

Post by SRD »

I want to thank everyone on Kevin's Watch who contributed to the "birthday card" I received yesterday. I appreciate it more than I can say! I suspect that none of you need to be told writing is a lonely pursuit--and that all of you know what that feels like. So when a group of (comparative) strangers makes such an effort on my behalf, it warms my heart.

Thank you!
Stephen R. Donaldson

Wow, SRD! It's you! And you're registered!
:faint:
I think I missed out on the birthday card thing, but happy birthday!

Welcome Mr Donaldson!!! :D :D

So happy to have you here among your "followers", if you will.

Well met!! :D :D

I may never post again now.. :faint:
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

hahaha... everyone's going to send him PM's when they see this...

I'm sure that would get annoying, so I'm not going to send one. Besides, he might not come back very soon.

hmmm, who's up for guessing his password? ;)
that would be very interesting... to have people think you were SRD :P

I would recommend against PMing him. He probably won't get to read them at all, and I'm sure he'll prefer to answer questions via the Gradual Interview.
And then the ravens pecked out his eyes.

Hmm, how awesome it is to have the author actually jump on and acknowledge his fans.

We pay tribute and homage to "The Man Who Wrote An Epic...."

Cheers Mr. Donaldson, Happy Birthday.

"Strangers" doesn't half begin to describe us. :twisted:

Honoured to have you among us, Mr Donaldson. I hope your day was a special one. :D

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

What can I say that does not sound pale in the echos of what you have written, or the echos of better suited writers than myself whom have already replied here.

Nothing except thank you.

I wish I could have added to the list of well wishers for your birthday but I was not here in time and my hope is you will someday see these replies.

Words so often my tool of communication, fail me at this most desperate hour, while trying to give voice to immense measure of respect and deep feeling I have in gratitude for you Mr. Donaldson and your work.

I am nothing but a fool yet in spite of this fact, I add humbly and respectfully,

Happy birthday and thank you for your personal post.
