Wanted to give an update, first that the story is in fact continuing. I have chapters 18 and 19 written and will be getting posted to the site later this morning. As a warning ahead of time I will be doing some jumping forward in time. After all, covering two real life years in a story would get dull and repetitive, so I'll start hitting some of the highlights and moving the story forward. I'm thinking I'll probably be reaching an end point prior to chapter 30.
A side note - once this story is complete I do have the framework of an idea for another story. However this one will be completely fictional and I'm thinking of basing it off a song that I flesh out into a short story.
