Hey all, I don't know if there's anyone still following this story (it's been a while - I kind of forgot about it) but if there are, I wanted to give people some closure - the story is in fact abandoned, and on permanent hiatus. Sorry guys. I kept trying off and on to write more, but I just felt like I was forcing myself, and now it's been so long that my writing style has changed and so on. I did have the general parts of the story, including the ending, all planned out, but writing it just wasn't working for me, and then I lost the motivation to continue the story, so there won't be any more chapters. Just wanted to let people know.
