UPDATE!
Hey, guys. I am going to redo this story. I have already pretty much edited the first chapter entirely. However, I am going to post a new story and do the updates there. Let this be a testament to life lived and knowledge gained.
Many, many things will be different about this fanfiction. I reread it and realized I ruined it in those chapters at the end. Upon further review I also realized just how much stuff I left out and wasn't aware of. Now, armed with a timeline and a great desire to fix many more things, I will attempt to rewrite and reorganize what could have been a great story. College swallowed me up whole. But it has spit me out and here I am.
I am in desperate need of a BETA! I am picky, but it is for the good of the story.
I am writing this fic for me. I want it to be the kind of fanfic that I'd want to read. So, that said... I will be doing as I please. However... OC's will not be running rampant. I want the plot to be tight and driving.
I love you guys. You gave me so much love and support throughout the years and I want to thank you for all that you have given me.
Lauren
