Beth, thanks
And regarding the tattoo - fake or real: now that would be telling. But would Lois get a tattoo if she were in her right mind?
Ann, jup, a tattoo it is. And I'm truly overjoyed to know I actually managed the balancing act between gfic and plausibility. I believe Sue's Last Call Casualty might have been an influencing factor, at least on a subconscious level.
Regarding the Archive. Well, for those of us inclined to do go there, we will always have Anne's Place. But you are right, if I hadn't had an idea for fixing part 3 I wouldn't have gone gfic.
Michael
