--- Quote from: R. S. Leergaard on May 11, 2012, 02:38:46 AM ---I've had some of the stories I've written compared to both Terry Pratchett (Discworld) and William Goldman (The Princess Bride). It bothered me some, at first, because I felt like they were saying I had no voice of my own. But, upon further review, it could have been a lot worse. If I'm going to be compared to someone, it might as well be someone whose talent I respect and enjoy. :D

PG compared my Admiral Who to Louis McMaster Bujold's Vorkosogian Series. Which I didn't see coming.
Its all a box of chocolates.

the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
I don't know that I've ever been directly compared to someone I really admire, though people have commented on a certain Douglas Adams influence in some of my work (not for the humour, but for the doing complex ideas well in a few lines, which I take as a high compliment.)
Steven Brust did say I was cute once, though.

You two are making me want to though one of my stories to the preverbial wolves
Witch is a first normaly I think such ideas as laughable
Lord Rae:
Cranked out another few pages, and I'm finally back to where I was when I restarted an re-worked the story a few months ago. Just short of 11,500 words. Yay! I've nailed down about 2000 words these last two nights. ;p
