Okay, true to my word, when Wendy and Kaethel met the challenge I came out of active retirement. I've even posted a couple of stories since then as a show of good faith. But now we have to come up with the conditions whereas this tired old man can earn his retirement again.

I have sort of an idea...

How about once I've established myself as the second most prolific (no one can touch Wendy) writer in number of stories, I can earn my retirement. I'm talking about official (meaning Lois and Clark archived) stories. I'm also talking about the raw number of different stories not the word count. Labby's 'Masques' has put that idea all out of kilter.

So, here it is; Once I've reached the second most number of stories posted in the archives I am eligible to retire. What do you say? Sounds good , huh?
