I apologize for the extreme delay, things have been rather... interesting, when it comes to "RL"; as always I shall spare you all the details. While my prolonged absence was inexcusable all I can offer is my heartfelt apologies and best possible effort herein; and I understand if many of you have found other stories with which to invest your time (perhaps more wisely it seems). Never the less, best foot forward, I shall be sending a message to everyone shortly inquiring about the future of our little get-together. I believe it would be a shame to see such potential wither when it was only just beginning to bloom. Thank you to those who have remained here during this long interruption.
