Awesome intro, and welcome to HPC! I can totally relate to the HPFF part of it, lol. "wow!" about the fourth reading... already. Personally, I didn't find the sixth book as good as the others, so I haven't done the usual read-it-again-because-you-can thing. Maybe I'll get around to it some day... And I totally don't agree with the H/Hr FF. Those are, in my opinion, the worst kinds of FF. Of course, you're right about the twist thing, but so far I haven't read a story that's pulled it off.

Welcome... again
