In general, I know that my stories do run long, but I ask if folks can review, positive or negative - it doesn't matter. Feedback is the only payback we see in our fanfiction efforts. And it takes me a long time to update oftentimes because of the amount of personal involvement I put into it. So please review. Please flame me or give me suggestions. Please feel free to let me know what I'm doing wrong and what you think is working. I'm hoping one day I can improve enough in the craft to one day do proper original fiction. Until that time comes, you guys are my writing workshop. Work me over, people. :) Thanks.
