Thank you! You startled the hell out of me when I saw your rec; I've been pretty much on lurk mode for a long time, and I had totally forgotten about this piece.

I was pretty disturbed by the implications of the episode, and while I could appreciate that a lot of it was being written for the amusement value, I had real problems with alt.Jack and alt.Sam, the way they behaved in the midst of a real crisis, and the idea that Daniel would have to deal with them in the period following the end of the episode. This coincided with remembering a story my mother told about what happened to unmarried girls who got pregnant in her neighborhood (this would be during the late 1930s and 1940s) -- many of them went to "visit relatives," and one or two never came back -- and it just went on from there.

Glad you liked it. Especially since I think you are one hell of a good writer. ('jes sayin')
