Hello Readers-
I want to continue to thank you for the wonderful e-mail responses, great votes, and the overall response that this story continues to get. Some of your e-mails have been really touching and have really struck a chord with me. It's humbling to think that a story I started so long ago would be so well received. Thanks again!
Now just a little housekeeping. I've had some readers ask about my future posting schedule and about whether this story will land on Bookappy or not. The answers are a little complicated.
I started posting this story after it was written, but before it was fully edited. That's my fault. The only thing in my defense is that I never imagined that it would garner such interest. Since I don't consider the story ready to be made available for pay, I won't post it to Bookappy for now. If and when it gets to that point, I'll definitely consider doing so. In the meantime, I will also need to research the consequences and limitations (if any) for existing readers before adding the story to Bookappy (since I have no experience with Bookappy).
The good news is that I have enough chapters ready to commit to a once-a-week posting schedule for some time. As of now, I plan to post the next three chapters of American Teen next Saturday. After that, I will try to post at least one chapter a week (though I will start with two and see how things go).
Thanks again for the wonderful response to my story.
Aaron
P.S. Baseball is just around the corner and that is true for Tommy in Chapter 9, lol.
