First, thank you perfectgeneral for the great review.

Next, for those wondering what I've been up to for the past several months.

I've chosen the pseudonym Dystion Stopher, partly because every other name I considered (including my real one) already has an online presence. This name seems free, so I'm taking it.

I've found a book cover I like, and I've fixed (hopefully), the book's grammar issues, and removed and adjusted a few passages that didn't add to the plot. I've adjusted the length of the chapters, particularly the short ones in the beginning, making them a more respectable length.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

If you've read the original, you probably won't find anything too different in this new version I intend to post over the next couple of months.

I also have two other projects in the works: an improved and completed version of “The Children's Dungeon.” And something based loosely on farm simulator games. Both projects are going slower than I'd like, and I don't know when they'll be ready to share.
