YAY!
I figured it out! That was really confusing how you do that, well, now to post Chapter 2.

hm...
I didn't actually include the title on the title page, just the synopsis... I guess it went through my head that if you got to the page at all, you already knew the story title! ... If I write more TG stuff and post it to this site in the future, though, it might be a good idea.
Anyhoo, whatever caused my omission, it is now fixed. It ain't very pretty, just big bold centered but otherwise unformatted text with that nice little divider thingy between it and the synopsis. Cheap, but effective. Like Drew's truck that so far hasn't been used, but only mentioned in passing while Drew was riding on his much more expensive bike... hmm... I guess I shouldn't have compared it to the truck after all ;P
I do think the truck will see some use in later chapters though... maybe...

bah!
And this time, the mistake I just noticed has been sat here for weeks now. I called Drew by the last name of Pattendale on this page, his name is actually Pattengale. Why I screwed it up in the synopsis I don't know... I have only used the name twice, once in Chapter 2, and once here, so maybe that's why. I don't usually make those mistakes.
But to call me a liar, I've also noticed that I've been calling Stonevale: "Apartments and Townhomes" in the story, and "Apartments and Townhouses" here. Obviously, Townhouses is the correct one, since I've already used both forms in the story, both will continue to be used interchangeably, though the former will be more of a slang, slightly less formal, way of referring to the place, but not as informal as simply calling it Stonevale. To call me a liar thrice-over, I've called Stonevale both Stonevale and Stonedale. Gah! This one I have to correct. Not too big a deal, since the only instance of the incorrect spelling is in Chapter 2, and that's slated for an edit anyways to add the chapter reading.
Hopefully I will not continue to repeat these, admittedly minor, continuity mistakes.
So, to recap. Drew's last name is Pattengale, not Pattendale. The complex Drew works at is, officially, Stonevale Apartments and Townhouses. In his head, he says the last word Townhomes, and often when speaking of the place out loud. This is informal slang, not so much derogatory, as simply being easier to think and say.
If any of this actually caused any confusion, I apologize. I'm betting I'm being more anal than any of the readers though.
