i can certainly friend you, since you are (barely!) over 18, but i actually recommend that you read Appearances here: http://archive.skyehawke.com/story.php?no=13415

for multiple reasons, really. there's more to read there (a few little extras that i didn't bother to post here at lj), and i think it's an easier format. also, that's where i've made all the tiny little corrections that get made every time i reread the novel.

and you don't have to be friended or a member or anything in order to read at skyehawke. :)
