Great interview! I'm in awe of Lee. I read all of his work and comment rarely ~ he is so far ahead of me I fear I'd make a fool of myself (even more than usual, she said smiling...)

Thanks for reposting this, Terry. I've no clue how I missed if the first time around but I'm happy to have this opportunity to say Humpwhistle is a treasure on FanStory and I hope he never leaves...

    I refuse to believe he'll leave. (Either I'm in denial or I know he loves it here too much not to write and post!)

And here I sit with only fives to render. This capture of Lee's Fanstory story and his extended history is totally entertaining as is the author. His departure from Fanstory will be like David Lee Roth leaving Van Halen. They marched on, but with a limp.

    He is an exceptional writer. I hope he doesn't leave.

    Bill, I just got a note from Helen after she reviewed my story about poker...my story promotes a contest I created about The Poker Game. Helen said you were a poker player, and maybe you would enter. Terry.

Happened upon your writing early this morning in Spain( (moved here from America 3 years ago) and waiting for my husband to finish making breakfast...
I was drawn to this because of the interesting name The Humpwhistle Interview...
So I began reading your nice and long interview...I enjoyed the back and forth banter ...
I too feel I have a good ear for rhythm...because I play piano and I can sing...
Oh so many funny lines.
I guess I'll sit around and wait to be discovered. I think I need to pack lots of sandwiches.
All in all this was quite enjoyable...
I wish you the best of luck with publishing... I haven't started looking yet...but I have thought about it...Just need more hours in my days.
I am very new to Fan Story...
Lisasview, new to this site

A very full, interesting and amusing interview. I wasn't on the site when the first one came out but I always enjoy reading other member's experiences, background and advice. Great job here, Terry, with an excellent subject! Thanks for sharing. Debbie

This is an interesting interview, and it sounds like Lee Hill was a definite high-level contributor for years here. He certainly had high goals with specific things in mind, with writing a story each month that he thought could be in the running for story of the month. Nice share.

    Thanks, Dolly, you know you can even find some poetry in his portfolio, and of course a good limerick. Terry.

Even though the promotional time has lapsed, I found this interview helpful for me. I never realized I didn't have the whole story in my head. Just write. There is tons of ideas that go through my head, but I let it go if I can't expand on it right away. Great questions! Thank you.

What I need is an Assistant in charge of Publishing. Any volunteers? No? Well, I guess I'll sit around and wait to be discovered. I think I need to pack lots of sandwiches.
I love this man. I think he stole my imagination. More then his fair share while I have none. Always, always a surprise and a laugh. TY again. Blessings, Barbara
