Interesting story so far!! Nicely written and very detailed as well!! I really like your character, Alana too! Wonder who's gonna fall for her? Gary maybe...? Seems like a good fit!

Well, hopefully you'll be continuing this story 'cause I'm looking forward to reading more!! ^_^

Anyway, keep up the excellent awesomeness & please continue immediately, a.s.a.p.!! ^_^

sounds fantastic,
you've setup a good base for a story line,
cant wait to see more of your work!

Great start! Are you going to continue this? I wanna see what happens XD

Seems to be a good story, though i got a mary-sue vibe from the story about her mother and how her father was institutionalized.
I have a question though, do you have any romance pairings in mind?
Anyway good luck and update as soon as you can. :)
