General Disclaimer:

The Lord of the Shepherd was inspired from the Lord of the Rings. We do not own anything Tolkien, except for some very worn copies of the books. Do not sue us, we're poor university students. Unless you WANT our textbooks, but we think it's easier if you go buy your own.
There is direct quoting and references to The Lord of the Rings. However, LotS is Cinnamon's version of the themes and message in LotR, with some inspiration from friends.

Neko gives credit:
Neko would like to give credit to the paintbrushes she uses for LotS, which were available at http://www.8nero.net/brushes/
However, that site no longer exists, so she uses brushes at www.obsidiandawn.com
pretty, eh?

Cinnamon's disclaimer:
I do not own The Lord of the Rings or Spaceballs or Veggie Tales or Pirates of the Caribbean (or Johnny Depp, although we wish we did).
I also don’t own the concepts “Random Acts of Insanity” or “Avril Lavigne meets Duct Tape” or the material WITHIN the Random Acts of Insanity. Random Acts of Insanity (aka R.A.O.I.) are copyright Zika_Silver1/Neko Baka, USED WITH PERMISSION.
Zika_Silver1/Neko Baka also contributed heavily to (read “wrote”) the “Pocky” Random Act of Insanity and with the Raniground section of the final sequence. Zika_silver1/Neko Baka and Veira_666 created the concept “Avril Lavigne meets Duct Tape”.
Bob Malfoy (this is her NICNAME) conceptualized (read wrote) the “Duct Tape” Random Act of Insanity script. We think that she was inspired by Red Green.
We also do not own him.
Hikari_Miko wrote the spell that Sore Man says to knock Ralph off the mountain. Any of the above people and more may have contributed to this piece. I thank anyone who did…
Oh, and Thank You Shakespeare for Macbeth which I stole a line from in order to write the screenplay. I also don’t own Les Misérables or the song "I Dreamed a Dream" which inspired some of the scene titles.
