Hey Elliot Is there a reason why some or your writings and posts seem to have a slight touch of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to them?  Tsel  |

Tsel... I can't say I'd noticed myself, but I take that as a definite compliment. Thank you I definitely am a Doyle fan, and I've read a lot of his stuff - not just Sherlock Holmes. But I really can't say how much of an influence he has been on me overall. Only the X-Force story The Stolen Statuettes was deliberately based on Doyle. Beyond that... I don't know. He's a darn fine writer, though |

You’re most welcome. ;D Some of your expressions reminded me of Doyle. That’s why I made the comment. Tsel |

It's entirely possible I picked them up from him, Tsel. I couldn't say. I've read a great number of books, and I certainly pick up things from all over. I know I borrow sayings I like, but I don't always recall where they come from |

Hmm... never thought you ever had that strong of a Doyle influence, El. I knew it was there, but then you have a lot of other influences as well. But then... I think it was Alan Moore who said that inspiration is the cross-fertilization between influence and experience. I've also noticed that many times certain influence creep in without the creator being consciously aware of them. So I guess what I'm saying is that it wouldn't surprise me. |

I read everything I could find in my younger days, and I'm not so very different now, in truth |

Yes Elliot, When I mentioned what I did about Doyle, I didn’t mean it in a way of copying or plagiarizing, I meant it in style, but only in certain little sentences found in paragraphs speckled here and there. It was something you said that reminded me of, “The Adventure of the Dancing Men”. Oh well, that’s why I mentioned what I did. It was intended as a guised complement by me and I’m glad you interpreted it so. Tsel |

Doyle is one of Britain's best ever authors, Tsel I could hardly take it otherwise, I assure you |
