Gah! If I hadn't happened to notice Richards mail trundling into
my FFML folder, I would probably not have read this.

Thanks a lot, Richard!  I really liked this one.

For one, I always loved stories that deal with the fourth wall -
no matter whether breaking  or just examining it.  And
furthermore, the story was pretty well-constructed and challenging
in its concept.

The writing was on a high standard - as is to be expected from an
experienced writer like Stefan.  The difference between the
"natural" story flow and Ace's manipulations was done very well,
and quips like "Is this Biles?  That goody two shoes--" made me
LOL.

In short:  Excellent work, in both idea and execution.  Thanks for
posting it.
