I really enjoyed this yarn! Lots of family and friends, and seeing how pairings eventually worked out in your particular timeline. And how MMP is being inherited and spread even now (and a very nice touch with a particular dear departed naked mole rat...) Well done, and good luck with the contest.

Sentinel103, Thank-you so much for entering your story into my contest! I enjoyed reading it, and Good Luck!

I find it interesting you put so many characters into the show, so easily. I enjoyed little Ann and RD as well, they were funny.

Your humble reader is mucho negligent in reviewing your stories. The time has flown since our brief gettogether over lunch back in Sept.

This tale is full of the obligatory warm holiday fuzzies and Christmas cheer. Your reader commends you for the clues and tidbits of info you drop throughout the story about who married who and gave birth to who. Am not quite up to speed, but then am not totally lost either. A story with many char's can prove daunting to get through, and can even require the reader to go back through it to get all the details nailed down. Being that it is part of a story arc, it can be assumed that the reader will take the time and trouble to familiarize him/her-self with the stories that came before this lastest installment. And even the 'real' writers introduce dozens of char's into their stories, like Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.

Liking the foreshadowing at the story's end of the two kids already communicating on a 'higher plane' as it were.

More mischief in the night as another chapter is written in this ARC.

Eventually they all will learn where this new generation will go.

And Merry Christmas to you and yours too!

Thanks - It was very nice to see a glimpse of what happened to the characters I loved so much in the "Once Again" saga. It looks like the next generation is getting set up for their own part of the adventure.
