Okay, first of all, I REALLY appreciate you reading this (I’m also very thankful for spellchecker that just corrected my awful mangling of the word ‘appreciate’ â€" and there it goes again). Second of all, I haven’t written much. Well, I write, but I’ve never once finished a story and- oh, bah. See, I can’t even finish a sentence! Anyway, the point is, I’m rather inexperienced, so please excuse any awful wording and crap like that. Reviews are great, they keep me writing. If reviews stop, cliffhangers mysteriously pop up all over the place… Yes, that’s a threat. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM is quite welcome. FLAMERS will be laughed at. And since, for whatever strange reasons, you are dying to get to the story, I will shut up.
