I want to start off by telling you that I'm not entirely sure yet what this is going to turn into. As for now, think of it as 'open beta'. I have a pretty busy schedule, so I'm wanting to see how the story is received to decide where it will go. That being said, please feel free to comment on any ways you think I can improve. Even petty grammar things I am very grateful for. All I ask is that comments are kept PG-13 and civil. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
