Just wanted to drop a line to let you kow how much I've been enjoying this story. Stories with large amounts of original characters don't always work it well, but this one is a great one. :) As for the real-life thing, I know that one too well. I stopped writing because my pain disorder and autoimmune issues grew out of control on me. It's taken a few years, but I'm starting to feel human again (it helps that I've admitted just how disabled I am now and caved to the crutches and wheelchair), and have considered writing again. Lots of love and support on your way to things getting better again.
