This is the first time I have written to a story author and given feedback. Once you realize that you are writing a story for yourself as much as for anyone else you will make the right decision. In fact I like the direction and the aspects of your interests are the same as mine and I do feel that you should continue. If you want ideas instead of feedback I'd be glad to contribute as well as I bet others would too. Don't forget there are bound to be dickheads in the thousands of members here, but they don't speak for the masses. So go ahead and have Beth nurse him back to health to gain his trust. Then she can do as she pleases with him and don't let peoples comments ruin your efforts to tell your story. Please continue!!!
