I had waited to start reading this story until all the parts were posted. I just finished part nine and thoroughly enjoyed the story. A few comments:

1) I was frustrated when I got to part nine of nine and only then realized that this is really just the first part of the story; had I realized that, I would have waited until the complete story had been posted before starting to read it.

2) I am confused by the timeline. On the one hand, the impression I have is that this Lois had been whisked from the 1990s or so to the story's present. On the other hand, the story's present sounds very much like 2014. The technology (still making movies, using cell phones, etc.) does not seem futuristic. But if these times are both right, then not enough time has past for Lois to have great-grandchildren.

3) Was Mr. Byrne's name a nod to John Byrne, who revamped Superman in 1986?

4) This story is a brilliant and novel take on our favourite characters, but I would expect no less of a story by you.

I am eager to read part two.

Joy,
