Ah, but Doc', I never *read* that story! And besides, there's
nothing new under the sun, right? It's entirely possible to write
an *excellent* story using a plotline that's been driven into
the ground.

Yup. That one I did read. :)

If somebody can tell me where the one on the Archive is, that'd
be cool. I'd like to read it, but I don't have time to go
hunt for it right now (evidenced by the fact that the Magespace
update is late for the first time since last November).

Yes, true...but there's often more to a good story than a 100%
original plotline.
