Thought I'd now make an official thread for this story. I've decided to post it up on FF.net, respecting my old story's origins. I've decided to make a few changes, including cutting the self-insert character out in place of the old story's mentor at a young age, Albrecht (or Al). I plan on keeping it in a short novelette format, around seven to ten chapters or at least kept within the range between 8,000 words and less than 19,000.
Here's a link to the story on FF.net, I'm sure Serris will especially be glad that I've decided to bring back the idea, despite it being only a brief reduction to only the Mars plot. I decided that after writing his story and giving it a proper completion, I'll be putting it behind me and continuing onward with my more original works.
