This, as you will rapidly notice is not a new chapter. First Try is complete as it has been since it would not leave me alone and forced me to write it in the span of three days.

I am using this space to inform you that I did some editing to the story, and have changed some of the wording around so it was less awkward, and altered a few scenes slightly. That, and I thought I'd give you guys a handy guide to the stories in the First Try 'verse.
