I hate to break it to you, Coastguard, but this story didn't start in 2010. It started in 2001. Just check out the original link on Nifty: http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/highschool/my-only-escape/. So it's taken 13 years to get 18 chapters (although after the first couple, the average time between updates has been about a year). Hard to imagine that when this story started, I was in the closet, and now I've been with my hubby for almost 11 years. My vague recollection, from some ancient interview Comsie gave, is that this story is somewhat biographical in nature (at least the relationship between Zach and his father) so updates are difficult.
