I'll shall download that interview pronto. And hurrah for the The Unsilent Library - I am looking forward to that. I'm currently reading the second part of The Writer's Tale so my mind is full of things Who-ish.

Enjoy the interview! I haven't read the second part of TWT yet, I am a useless fan.

I did and it was lovely, particularly the Helen Cresswell reference and all the stuff about fanfic and, of course, the bit about ducks!

We've had TWT2 since Easter, so I haven't exactly been rushing to read it. I am a useless fan because I know nothing about the Zodin, apart from your description, which is clearly a self-portrait.

Edited for missing full stop.

The Terrible Zodin is named in passing in "The Five Doctors" but mostly appears in spin-off material. So not a bad fan at all!

your description, which is clearly a self-portrait

A portrait of my alter-ego. Tolkien Done the Wordz.

Thank you for the handy link! And because it's on the Internet, it must be all true.

A portrait of my alter-ego.

Yes, but I have tremendous difficulty telling you apart, as you know Bob.

Tolkien Done the Wordz.

And fine words they are too.

It's a great read and the e-mail exchanges work surprisingly well, better than I expected before I read the first part.
