That is one of Steel(e)'s special qualities, he can be one very annoying kat indeed.

Why?

Well, I mean to the backstory about Jake and Chance. But doing that to "Vilthuril" would also be nice too.

I mean divide it in lots of chapters, not part by part like "Midnight Magic". In "Children of the Stone", you only divided it in two parts.

Hey, I got a fast reading speed. Only that sometimes that I have to leave, and when I got back to reading it, I forgot which part of the story that I already read.

Example: I was reading your story, at then when suddenly... "Mutation City" is on. I said to myself, okay, what chapter that I was reading? 2? Okay, chapter 2. I will start reading it again at chapter 2.

You know, it's like when you're using some Gargoyles in your story, that maybe not be a full cross-overs, but it has some materials that can be consider as a cross-overs. Well, at least to me that is.

Besides, we don't really know for sure that Furlong is his last name.

It's only a suggestion. :)

Yeah, the questions is, when I do finish my story, wIll someone trash it?

Well, all males feline do that. Only that Chance is a little bit extreme when handling things.

Hmmm... Becoming more human?

Oh... I'm very much aware that you're female. I said that pairing you and Callie is an interesting idea. :)
