It's... yeah, it's a hell of a really long story. I'm not sure if you want to commit to that time investment. Even the summary is pretty... Tolkein-ish.

( Not that he minds to tell it — completely the opposite actually, given how many times he's written it and rewritten it to publish on his blog. It's just A Lot of having to listen to somebody talk. )

And you should totally see him. Highly recommend. I don't think he's technically legally a counselor or anything, mostly because I don't... think he comes from a world that has that. He's a cow-person. But still, I've told him the most insane stuff, and he's been really nice about it.
