Thank you to everyone that responded.. Your kind words mean a lot! I'm definitely thinking about continuing with this. I've been tossing some ideas around about where to take it since the first part went in a completely different direction from where it was intended to go.
I'm new to the IF boards and I've never PMed anyone but I'm willing to try it out. If you'd like a PM when the story is updated please add me to your buddy list and I'll try to get everyone a message when I do update. I'm hoping to get the next part written after work in the morning.
Thanks again! :)
