Author's Notes

I've taken the original author's notes for Hurt off ff.net for two reasons. First, they're not really relevant anymore since the circumstances which motivated me to write Hurt no longer exist (and a certain so-called author had his stories taken down). The story is perfectly capable of standing on its own. Second, the new rules ff.net has about story chapters being used solely for author's notes more or less forbid giving the little essay that was formerly here it's own chapter. I've left this filler in place of it instead of replacing it with Hurt - Old Wounds to preserve the reviews I got that were solely for the rant that used to be here. They make interesting reading and I wanted them kept intact and separate from whatever response Hurt - Old Wounds receives. If you want to read the original author's notes for Hurt you can e-mail me and I'll send you a copy.
