Backstory for Christine

I think I've worked out a reasonable backstory for Christine in the context of Hertha's story. (Confusingly, I started rereading Stephen King's "Christine", which of course puts the name into a rather different context!)
( whooping-cough )

Meanwhile we've acquired another OC and some backstory for Christine's parents; ( Lisotte )

I got another five minutes' access to fanfiction.net for some reason (I tried it yet again and it just happened to work for once), and was able to 'evacuate' the reviews for four more of my stories -- and then go back and delete the Critics United spam on the local files once access was cut off again! I never attempted to delete the hundreds of spam reviews from the actual site, but since it's trivially easy simply to snip the text out of the files I don't see any point in retaining it for my reference here...
Sixteen stories done -- out of forty-six.

(And I discovered that it has been so long now that fanfiction.net has logged me out, not entirely to my surprise -- but I should think the chances of my being able to log in again are pretty much zero, so I'm no longer likely to get access to my traffic stats or past PMs, for example.)
