If the door has gender identity issues, it's going to get really awkward...

A lesson I learned the hard way (about 10 years ago) is that if a writer remains silent for a prolonged period, his audience will eventually start losing interest and disperse. And this is why I am trying to maintain some pace, even if I have to rush things occasionally (as much as I hate to do so). It's easier and more efficient to maintain an audience than to build it up from scratch. Many people tell me they really like what I do, but I can't rest on my laurels - new stuff has to come out too, and without much waiting.

Oh, I know. I generally try to read all in-game stuff as well, though it is usually relevant to the current level (or next few levels) and reasonably long, e.g. letters, signs and journals in RtCW or the emails and other messages in Doom 3. Daggerfall's books are more like building an entire in-universe mythology, which fleshes out the world but has no real bearing to what the player is doing. And this is why I hardly botheredreading them, except for a few that sounded interesting enough.
