Story-weaving for the uninitiated
Ever been astounded by the magnificent tapestry of plot threads
that someone else has put together? Ever looked at your own paltry efforts to
imitate and realised you could never do anything even close? Ever had trouble
walking the line between adequate foreshadowing and completely giving away your
ending? Ever wondered whether your themes are completely overplayed or
practically absent? Ever wondered how you can make the end of your story just
rock your readers in place? 
Greetings and salutations. My name is Dr. Moppen Po, PhD (Institute of Mental Health). The following is a detailed study on the psychological health (or lack thereof) and emotional progress of a group of specifically chosen individuals. This study was conducted both for the well-being of these patients and for the advancement of psychological study in the interest of scientific discovery. Please keep in mind that, although none of the patients were harmed during these sessions, I have made many sacrifices to survive this ordeal and may very well need therapy, myself.
Ask Fowl is a column devoted to answering your fan-fiction and Artemis Fowl
