It would soon become immortalized in fandom as the "worst fantasy story ever." Mr. Theis claimed that he was so hurt by the constant mockery that he would never write anything ever again. In 2018, Geoff Bottone read The Eye of Argon for, perhaps, the dozenth time and discovered, to his surprise, that there was an actual story lurking beneath the misspellings and malapropisms of the original. With editing pen in hand, he set out on a lonely, and perhaps futile, quest to redeem Mr. Theis' work by using its foundation to tell an interesting and fun story.That story has now been finished, and it is up to you to judge whether Mr. Bottone's efforts were successful, or merely mad folly.For Ecordia!
