Hi Dan,

I ran across your site on another gamer’s blog and they told me to go to you regarding ARGS. He was speaking of your idea of having a political race that included ARGs. I found that so interesting but he said the idea was yours, and that rather than linking to his site, I link to yours.

Would you mind?

I run an online novel blog and am very interested in how novel writing and ARGs will meet.

Thanks.
