My apologies for breaking the rule on posting author's notes as a chapter but, puzzled as I am by the sudden renewed interest in this (very old) story, I thought it fair to inform you (since you don't seem to have checked my bio) that I'm no longer updating any of my stories. (Feel free to adopt them but do send me a link).

If you are interested in my original writing, there is a link on my bio page to a blog I've just set up.
