The Howards and the Seymours Preview- I've decided to take a totally new course with this, so I've deleted the preview for now, but when I finish the new and improved first chapter it will probably be posted. SOME THOUGHTS ON REVIEWS: Okay, first of all, I review to each and every fic I read whether I love it, hate it, or just think it's okay. I do not flame. Reviews are very important to me, and if you post stories here too you probably know exactly what I'm saying. If you review, I am most likely to return the favor.
