Thank you all for your comments. I've written two completely new chapters already, and am beginning a third.

As to questions people have asked...Pam, the little newspaper blurb is not new. It was always there- it was sort of the inspiration for the piece.

James...I'm reposting all the parts, so no need to go on an extended search. There is a TOC, though....but you'd have to search for that one too. As for poor moral decisions...this Clark hasn't had the same upbringing as our Clark. That'll be clearer later. However, he's still at heart got the same inner goodness. We'll just have to see how it all goes.

Artemis, I would post on both boards, but I'm having trouble posting to the other one. Maybe if I get it all figured out.

As for Sara's gaggle of gremlins, and everyone else's support, I can only express my deepfelt gratitude.

Thanks.
