Hello hello, it has been a long time indeed. Nearly a year, in fact.
I'd just like to inform you all that this story will be brought over to my new account, if you'd like to read it there. It'll be rewritten a bit, but should still be pretty much the same.
The new account (well, not 'new', I've had it for a while) is LizIsCola, and it should be posted there soon.
