Great story!
So amusing that I abandoned my assignment that's due tomorrow.
Wonderful job on this. =)

. . . That was the most awesomest thing I have read in a long time. And I have read A LOT. I mean. Oh my God, you had me laughing so hard at times and completely sympathizing with a Dark Lord. My status as an ingrate is severely compromised because of you. I hope that other reviewer did not, in fact, feed you to his/her kitten, because I want you to see my review (though quite behind the times). That was beautiful.

You are my hero.

To give you all that you deserve, I should probably leave a review for each chapter of your story. However, I am, alas, too lazy, so let me just sum it all up right here:

You are completely brilliant. Thank you so much for that.

this is just too good!

omg!! gaspps i LOVE this!! it is HILARIOUS!

I shall refrain from feeding you to /my/ rabid kitten. (It's full.) I do hope that you venture again into the realms of EvilLorddom in future.

This is a most excellent Evil Lord story, and a very creative take on the reason for having Dark Lords in the world. We were highly amused.

*claps!* Yes! I was right about Smith and Boswald. *cheers* Oh, yes. A Florist's Guild. Wonderful...

I'm adding this to my favourites list. And could you maybe e-mail me about that short story I thought of? I'll give you credit and everything. It's just the first thing I've wanted to write for a while.

Long live the Dark Lords! (Or Mysterious People of Great Importance).

O.o No! Morgodeth. Damn you for making me like him so much.

*reads list* *cackles* Oh, yes. That was beautiful. Especially the bit about Lady Deathorn.

But Morgie...

*wanders off to read epilogue*

Oop! Gah! Why didn't he wake Smith up, hm? Or say that someone else did it?

Stupid Marty Cunningham. I'd feed him to my budgie if I could get my hands one him.

Dammit! So sentimental. And now I feel bad for him... Still, wouldn't Lord Vulcan teach him to detach his soul from his body? *hopeful* Morgie can have my budgie, if he likes. ;)

Aw... I can't believe it. Who would kill someone's lovely little pet orc? For shame! *whaps probably-hero over the head with a book* Heh. Like that he calls the weather lonely, though. That's always a nice touch.

Oh... Maybe he won't covert Smith, but the guy from the beginning. I can just see him going to look for the right Baker's guild... *sniggers*

No! I don't want Morgie to go away! Hehehe... Picture books and margaritas. Who woulda thunk?

So there's a proscribed number of years that he can rule for? Sheesh, at the rate he's going, he's probably going to end up converting Smith or something.

Hm... Are you familiar with Terry Pratchett's Lord Vetinari? Not really a dark lord, but the last time I read of him in prison, he'd started making an army of rats. :D Gotta love Vetinari.

"Wherever have you seen or heard of a Dark Lord with an army of sissies and prancing ponies?! It’s just not done." Beautiful. Absolutally, wonderfully, incredibly beautiful. Now I want an army of brownies... Darnit.

*hysterical* Threatening Peer of the Realm? Somehow, that gives me a mental image of the Duke of Wellington on a Sharpe-like killing spree. Still, Mysterious Person of Great Importance (must be careful not to read that as Mysterious Person of Great Impotance) has it's appeal.
