Okay, I've finally wrestled my story into a place where I want (and definitely need) critiques in order to determine how to improve upon it. If anyone's willing to bite, I'm willing to do critique exchanges. My story is approximately 5800 words long. I'd appreciate any and all feedback people are willing to provide. 
EDIT: I've now fixed the title of this thread; I initially listed volume 33 instead of volume 34 by mistake.

If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. ~ Mark Twain

I'm willing to take a look. I don't have anything ready to be critiqued at this time but I'll take a rain check for Q2 if that's alright. I'll send you a PM with my email.

Sounds good! I'll send it your way this afternoon.
