Glad to see another Maud fan around, Rebecca!

LOL!  LMM's all over the place, Rebecca--as much as I could sneak in, 
considering the story--through quotes especially (one example among many:  
the whole description of Editor-in-Chief Cassandra Claire was lifted from EQ 
Emily).  Mo grew up in the Muskoka region (BTW, Megan Follows and her family 
will be performing on stage in Gravenhurst this summer--but I'll be in 
England!  :-(  ).  Dot still lives there.  Kindreds find other LMM 
subtleties in places that shock me... I slip her in without even knowing it.

In my original fiction, the influence is even greater.

And I started writing Lucy Maud Montgomery fanfiction a whole year before 
even considering writing about Harry Potter... three of my LMM stories are 
on ff.net.  One Annefic, two Emilyfics (including one in progress--I plan to 
finish up *All Things Revealed* before starting on the TiP sequel, though 
you never know).

So don't goggle!  Kindred spirits are found in unlikely places.

"Not that great German master in his dream
Of harmonies that thundered amongst the stars
At the creation, ever heard a theme
Nobler than 'Go down, Moses.'  Mark its bars--
How like a mighty trumpet-call they stir
The blood.  Such are the notes that men have sung
Going to valorous deeds; such tones there were
That helped make history when Time was young."

--James Weldon Johnson, composer, Negro National Anthem
