Summary: Foreword to Sixty Eight Years.  This foreword applies equally to all the stories in the Shattered Tears universe.

First, some warnings:

Be warned that this is not only my first furry story it's also my
first story ever.

The reader is further warned that this story is going to contain gay sex,
mind control, power exchange, conspiracies and a fair amount of paranoia.

There will be some straight sex in chapter five but it's mostly
incidental.

Also the story will follow the misadventures of Rei, a fox, from the
ages of 6 until 18, therefore just about every chapter involves under
age characters.

Consider yourself warned.

Second, some disclaimers:

The story revolves around a conspiracy by one group to disenfranchise,
marginalise and otherwise oppress and enslave another group.  The two
groups, except where explicitly stated, are not representative or derived
from any group that exists, has existed or will exist.  I don't want any
one to say to me they know who I'm really talking about in this story.
It's pure fiction, end of.

Third, about criticism:

This is my first story.  It's also the first draft of my first story.

Updates are going to be a bit sporadic.  At my best I can do about a
chapter a day, but I don't have many days free and I'm rarely at
my best.

I'm hoping to create a PDF version for the gallery once I've written
and checked all the chapters.  I've got the plot for most of the story
already - a few sections are a little thread bare - but at this point
it's mostly set in stone I just need to write it.

My computer catches all most all spelling mistakes but it's not
very good at proof reading.  If you think a section could do with being
trimmed, fleshed out, rewritten or if you spot a grammatical error please
let me know, leave a comment or PM me.  I can't afford a proof reader
so the more criticism the better - be brutal.

Just one thing, please don't complain about the British spellings
they are quite intentional.  Remember: colour is bright because it has
'u' in it.

Fourth, enjoy.
