Carol, if the previous comments are thread hijacking, it's my fault because I started it.
I just re-read "Yesterday Upon The Stair" so I could be completely familiar with it, and I agree that the characters in your story reacted consistently with the characters presented in the series. The only niggle I would have was the excessive self-doubt Clark displayed, but since his self-doubt is almost fanon anyway, we're talking more about a preference than anything else.
And I had forgotten just what a good job you did with all the plot elements in that story. I still believe that Mayson was partly motivated by her dislike of Superman, but as I said before, that's consistent with the series. I'm not sure the "intervening act" argument would have held up in court and against a good defense counsel, but that's also something that would differ between jurisdictions (and between authors). It would have been interesting to read your take on Clark's trial.
