Sorry, Christina. I had hoped that by placing the bid about an hour and a half before deadline, I wasn't "playing vulture." As I compiled the list of currently-winning bids, I saw that this auction was a real bargain, especially when I read the description at the beginning and realized that MetroChumpy is the same person as Cape Fetish.
MetroChumpy, you have my permission to post the story you write on the MB, so Christina and other can enjoy it, as well. (I'm not sure whether I needed to grant that permission, but I figured it's better to cover my bases.)
Joy,
Lynn No worries.  I'm looking forward to seeing this stories once they're finished (and trying to get my story started posting).
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)
