I'm always happy to receive more recs! Thank you! I will definitely read those. And you're right, I did miss that you posted that story. I've had trouble keeping up on line consistently because it's summer here and I've been hiking and biking and been drawn outside every free moment and then when I wasn't doing that, I was writing that 11K piece for the ficathon. I will check that out at my next free moment! And definitely leave you feedback.

(Also, I look forward to you reading my story. You're right; it's long and I understand that can be a little off-putting. I'm glad you decided to hold off for when you have the time to read it in one go though, because I don't think it'd work read in bits. Thank you for intending to read it though. I appreciate it and I always love knowing what you think about my pieces.)
