First off, Ann, you completely spoil me with such in-depth FDK! Thank you so much -- and you're right, I think we're venturing into WAFFy territory. Maybe my Lois and Clark deserve it, after getting through "Estrangement" (relatively) unscathed!
Also:
Your story flows so lyrically. I really enjoy your writing style and your plot development.
Lovely and poignant and WAFFy.
Thank you so much, L and Ursie! The compliments I've gotten on my writing have just left me stunned!
And, Sheila and Maria, don't worry -- I'll keep posting.

Thank you all for reading, and for your comments!
