[FFML] [Inquiry] Hearts and Minds

[Mike Allen]

I remember you from way back.  Repost HaM.  I'll give you comments.  I've pretty much stopped reading most FFML posts as I don't know the series.

Part 8 got none at all, and Part 9 has so far after being out for about a week gotten none either. I think this series has potential to be one of the best things I've written, but it's frustrating not knowing whether what I'm putting out is any good or even whether anyone is reading it.
