So I haven't been able to work on this story much, well at all really, in the past couple of months. I've had a rough semester at college among other things, but that's coming to an end in the next few days, and I really want to try and get this finished.

With that said, at this point I think I need to go back over this story and make some edits, nothing major, just some minor things to tighten up the story a bit and some technical improvements I think I can make; I've been reading a lot of books lately about the craft of writing and there are a few things I know I can improve in this story. I don't really think that will be too much of a problem though, seeing as at this point, anyone still interested in reading this story will probably want to start from the beginning anyway.

I had a rough plan when I first started writing this, but it pretty much went off on its own path the further I got into it, and since it was already up, I wasn't really able to go pack and fix a few things that I maybe would have liked to do so; posting a story chapter by chapter doesn't seem to be the best method of cranking out a good quality story; one of things I definitely learned was the value of revising a piece as a whole.

I don't know how many people still care about this story, I do realize it's been a while and I don't blame anyone for brushing this off as an abandoned piece. But from peoples' reviews, it seems at least some of you liked it and wanted to see how it ends just as much as I do. With that said, it's probably going to be another month or so before I start posting again.

Anyway, happy holidays everyone, and I hope to bring you the conclusion to this story sometime soon.
