In response to Master MacMirthy's generous patronage on patreon:

I hope you enjoy the membership.

Your support is huge to me and this patreon is only for this subject. When I have finished the next 5 books, i will shut it down, hopefully in 2028, and make sure the members get all the pdfs gratis.

Take care,

james

Hello Mister Lafond,

It’s very kind of you to message, I apologize for being so late in replying. Some of the accounts you’ve researched and shared have been either so sobering or rage-inducing so I would be truer to say that I greatly appreciate the membership. It’s always educational to read about these captives accounts and to see your always sympathetic observations about how their society worked without any modern narratives muddying the water.

It’s understandable you’ll be leaving this project eventually and I thank you for giving so much of your time to it. As you’ve said before it’s one of your more thankless missions. I’ll continue to follow your other projects when you do. You always manage to weave wit and empathy into all of your works (in a way that I don’t see from other authors with less hard-earned experience working with the human animal in all it’s forms) and when you aren’t impressing with well-considered psychologies you always get me laughing. Buzz Bunny, the Book of Nightmares or Thunderbird all had me howling. When you pass like the Dreamer aboard the Timeship Hindenburg, pumped dry of your creative juices, you’ll be missed. (I’ve always assumed my alter-ego died beneath the meat wall.)

So once again, thank you sir for all you have done and continue to do,

Fergus
