Dear Mister Greg,
1) Where did the idea of the Phoenix Gate come from? I remember reading a
legend about it or something like it in school but I cannot find it on the
web. If it is an original idea I might have been mistaken. (You can omit
this if you post it but I wouldn't mind if Gore could relay the answer to
this small question to NickZane@aol.com) Thanks Greg and Gore for your
time.

1. Desperation. It was my idea. It is, as far as I know,
completely original. I've answered this in more detail before, so check the
archives, but briefly, we had a maguffin for Vows. I decided to make it
more than a maguffin by turning Vows into a time travel story and making the
Gate the means.
