Foreword

First I'd like to thank my editor, Lincoln_Imp, for his assistance. I do some editing, too, but I wasn't very surprised to find that my own story was riddled with errors. I have another editor as well but I haven't gotten the edited version back from him yet. When I do I'll update the story as published.

I'd also like to thank Janna Leonard and JimWar. They were willing to take the time to read early drafts of this story and let me know if it was worth finishing. Janna, in particular, provided some good feedback that helped to improve the story.

This is my first attempt at writing fiction that has gotten past the first chapter. As such I fully expect that it could stand some improvement. Please send comments — both good and bad — as they're the best way I can see to improve my writing. In particular constructive comments (e.g. scene <x> would have been better if you'd done <y> because... ) are greatly appreciated!

This story is complete — both writing and editing are finished. That's not to say that I won't make changes if needed. Please feel free to point out technical issues and I'll attempt to fix the posted version of the story if I agree with your point.

Note the slow code. There isn't much sex in this story and what there is doesn't start until near the halfway point, so if you're looking for stroke material you'd be better off looking somewhere else.

I've tried to be clear with the other codes, though there's ambiguity in the age groups — what is the code for a female who is 18 years old? In this case I've left it as f since the character only makes it to 18 toward the end of the story. In general all of the sex that takes place in this story is between high school students.
