This is *not* an emergency....

The "Gray Cardinal" email-box just got a forwarded note involving a supposed missing-child/Amber alert case involving one "Evan Trembley".  While the matter sounds serious, a quick visit to Snopes.com establishes that the message is not authentic; it's merely an ongoing email hoax/spam item.

What with all the noms-de-Internet we use in fandom, I can't easily backtrail where this particular note came from, but it seems likely that some version of this may reach someone else in my extended orbit.  I'm therefore posting this in hopes of derailing the spread of this iteration of the hoax to some small degree.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled LiveJournal....

Hi, just wanted to drop you a line and say I quite enjoy your fic. I'm mostly active in Castle fandom and really liked "Why Maine Is Such a Good Idea" + sequels. :-) Mind if I friend you?

Not at all; I am always happy to be friended.

Thanks also for the story-comment; I have been procrastinating on the third installment of that series, but hope to get back to it RSN.

I"m glad to hear that; it's always a pleasure to find fics that are true to the characters' voices. Plus the seafood in "The Most Difficult Four Months" made me drool. :-P
