All input, ranging everywhere from criticism to ideas for plot developments to alternative names for characters, is always welcome.

I don't have any idea what categories this story should go in, so if someone who is OK with spoilers would like to hear my general idea of where this is going, and/or see unpublished chapters in the future, then please PM me.

I only have a general idea of where this is going, and ideas for various chapter details (now in the form of essentially glorified vignettes), whether or not I fully flesh out my ideas and start working on a plot outline, will depend on how this is received.
