Whether I won the recent contest or not, my intention was to finish the story I started. I stopped because the demands of real life intruded, number one. Two, I came to a decision after talking to the person who kindly consented to edit for me, Rebecca Anderson. Although I already had the story plotted out from beginning to end, I decided I needed to rework and expand the middle section, so I could flesh out the characters and incorporate a "B" plotline.

But given that it's a seasonal story and the season is over, would people like me to continue with the story? I got enough kudos for the first two parts to tell me there are some folks out there who would.
