Re-reading this I have to agree with my choice, this really was the best entry I got in my contest. I still love it, but I still want to know what happened to her Mum. =D
Wow, that was amazingly written. I think the only thing I found wrong with it is your coding, the center coding doesn't work on stories or in comments, only on signatures, but other than that, amazing. I do want to know what happened with her mum though. ;)
