Hey Audience, Doc here with some parting (rambling) words along with some history.


I never expected this story to be well received or received at all. It really just started off as a passing of ideas between a friend and I (the scene where Toby and Twilight are at his apartment for the first time). From there it was an itch in the back of my head that needed to be scratched, so I spent the whole month of February (2012) writing it. By the end of three weeks or so, I had already had the first part written (the first 13 chapters), and after getting a few opinions from some people (all who really liked it), decided to put on this site. I remember watching grow, and everything. Hell, i was surprised to say the least. The next 17 chapters were not really expected to be written, but it was done.

Now, a lot of this was writing as I went. Surprisingly enough, i only had an end i was working towards, and a lot of the time i didn't know how to get there. That being said, there was a lot of stuff not included that will never see the light of day (i.e. there was more to chapter six that would require a different rating for this story). There were also a lot of things i added, per some comments i got, such as storyline things, but i can't quite remember though. And as much as some of you wanted Trixie and Lord Swift to end up on a nice sliver platter, didn't think that would appropriate for future events. 

People write for different reasons, such as for the fun of it, or purposely for a message. This one just went out to those, in this community, who have served their country or in the future will put themselves in that position. There isn't many stories out there like this or many (I felt) that do well in the manner of presenting the story. I tried to do my best, not presenting it in a Pro-this country/political party thing, though everything is biased in some sort of fashion. I did try my best to be realistic and be relatively close to actual "combat situations", without having prior knowledge and i hope i accomplished such. 

Anyways, all that being said, a quick shout out to J.Xayph and Sphinx76 for bearing with me and editing this. I can be kinda an ass when it comes to deadlines and whatnot. A big thanks to them for working with me and hopefully continuing to work with me on my works. And a thank you for everyone who has read this and stuck with me from the beginning, because I didn't think i had it in me to write and be a writer. Seriously, my english teachers hate me.

Godspeed, and Good luck. Till next time.
