Wow. *amused* This is quite depressing. Is there a reason for the extinction of humans and elves? I don't think it had any of the things you warned against in your summary. All in all, though, you aren't a bad find! 'Loveland' looks very intriguing. You seem to have incorporated most of your works into it, as well. Is the loyal Grush soon to be the main character in another tale, thereby justifying the abrubt, inconclusive end of this one? *smiles* If so, I would love to read it.
