AWWW! That was awesome! I don't think you failed at all! Toys are the secret key to any messed up relationship........(actually I have nothing to base that claim on. I just felt like saying it.)

I am proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone! It was well done, whatever you may think. I liked it, at least. Maybe one day I'll step out of my comfort zone and actually kill a main character. I kill supporting characters. I kill a lot of them. But never the main character. I think I'm far too attracted to redemption stories than I am cynical, this is cold hard real world stories. I like to think there's a light at the end of the tunnel, regardless of how deeply entrenched in hell one may be. And I do awful things to the characters of my original pieces. But I don't kill them. I honestly think it's crueler to let them live, and then rebuild everything they had. So a happy ending is their reward, after they've suffered so much for my twisted purposes.

And I'm done rambling. My, I do that a lot. Sorry! :P It was good, and I loved it!
