Nylan:

I just wanted to add a bit of advice. The readers in the story section tend to get a bit rowdy when they don't get their story fix.

Don't give in to the temptation to post something just to get the story over with. If you are not satisfied with the product you create then I doubt that others will be either. Take your time, and create something that you enjoy and your writing will improve a great deal. In the long run, readers will appreciate this approach.

Of course this is just my $.02, take it for what its worth.

Can we get an update on a rewrite, Nylan? I hate to prod but it has been a few weeks now.

If you have changed you mind on the rewrite then just let us know, its awful hard to be patient when a story with this potential sits idle.
