Hello everyone. After going back and rereading parts of this story, I realized I really wasn't happy with it. I had managed to back myself into a corner with the plot and was having a hard time finding a way out of said corner with the way things were currently going. Though I'm nervous to do this after having already invested so much time, thought, and effort into this story, I've decided it is DESPERATELY in need of a complete rewrite. For now, that is the plan. I'm still in the very early stages of figuring out this rewrite, so I can't really give details. However, hopefully I have something sooner rather than later.
