Apparently, I haven't checked this forum in too long, because there is this *huge* thread all about the pros and cons of web serials and how they relate to past and future writing mediums. So many good posts that I couldn't decide where to reply, so I just went off the main post.

Honestly, I read all three (TFoHG, TGC, and CFAP) serials, and I enjoy them all very much. BTW, I was pissed at Steve-o for a little while for Bad Boy McCain. I liked that one a lot, too, but you stopped working on it for a little bit (no matter how many times I checked it) and I stopped going eventually.

Anyway, my point was that I don't even remember how I got to The Files of Hydrogen Guy to begin with. I'm pretty sure I searched for something (probably physics-related, there's a few physics majors here at work) and just happened across it. From there I got to McCain and Ford, and then Grayhound. I happen to enjoy reading serials like this, although I don't subscribe to any magazines or anything.

What you guys do always amazes me when I stop to think about "behind the serials". I've thought about trying to come up with something myself, but I can't ever get past the character design, let alone fleshing out the surroundings or anything. So my hat is off to three competent web authors, and I hope you continue to write.

I have a lot of things running around in my head now about this topic, but they're not making it into this post. This probably means more rambling is to come, but it'll have to wait for later.
