Commentary
Right, so way back when I wrote this [years ago, really] I used to do this whole author's corner thing, and it was like four pages long and just a big block of space. Well I don't do that anymore, but if you went on FF.net you would find that my old stories have them in it. Anyways, I wasn't going to upload it here, but I decided to keep the story notes seeing their kinda important and all, well not really. But their nice to have around. So yeah, I cut all the other stuff out (once again if you want the full thing check out my account on FF.net) and just left this...
