It probably was on EWP's IRC relay chat that I first heard about Fel. CAMP captured my attention too.Mark_Reed wrote:I was linked to Fel's works, but I don't remember by who. It might have been from EWP, because I remember being into Camp for a short period.
My first look at Fel's stuff was from Fawks's yahoo group. After that I found the website with the disclaimer. Sword of Fire was approaching its final chapters, and I remember going back to Fawks's group even after finding other sites because I couldn't find Sword of Fire chapters with the same formatting.
At the time I was unemployed, so I literally did nothing but read-sleep-eat-read for 4 or 5 days. Finished the entire series in under a week.

Like you I was unemployed for almost a year back then. And I didn't have the 99 weeks of unemployment either! I have been paying for the Weavespinner.net website since around 2005 or 2006, after I acquired my current employment. It has had its bumps, since I'm the one who is doing the html.
