Thank you! You have made this story possible, so I'm really glad that you like it *g*.

(Are you sure we can't get due South into Multiverse somehow? :))

Sadly, I don't think one possible instance of alien vistation in Starman qualifies it for inclusion. I do have a couple of wacky crossover ideas, though ...
