Chapter One, up and unbeta'd.

I'm moving as quickly as I can, because that seems to be the only way to keep from losing both my nerve and my interest while writing. So the first part of my X-Men novella/serial/thingy is up. It's about 3,600 words, and I'm sure there are dumb little spots where I use the same word too often or write some crap-ass sentence. Anyone who wants to volunteer to beta-read will be loved forever.

Voilà: The Aphanes (main page), or go straight to Chapter 1.
