First of all, this is not an update. Well, not one directly related to the continuation of the plot of this story. Sorry about that. I just wanted to let everybody know that I'm working on finishing this, but the going is pretty tough right now. I'm preparing for a move halfway across the country, switching colleges and majors, and contemplating buying a new car. Also my "i" key is sticking, which at this point I think might be worse than all of those other things. Not that any of that is an excuse for leaving you guys hanging.
My excuse for that, though, is that something about this story isn't sitting right with me. I feel like I'm not hitting the character interactions just right, and that needs to be fixed. I'm also frustrated with my inability to express accents, especially Scout's. That's doubly frustrating because my husband is from the North-East and does a bang-on Boston accent, and he doesn't like my Scout voice.
You may have noticed that I also have a tendency to either rush through stuff using the absolute minimum in reasoning and description (like I feel I've done with the story) or make things tl;dr (like this note = ]). I want to fix that. So forgive me, but I'm going to redo this story, then get it beta-ed. The plot will stay, though, so if you liked where I was going (even if you didn't necessarily like how I was getting there), please, please watch for the update. It won't be long, I promise!
Thanks for hanging in there with me,
Kris
