Hi Bek,

I finally managed to catch up with this story. It's absolutely amazing, the writing, the storyline, everything. I completely agree with the others: thank you so much for delurking and sharing your talent with us.


With this tale you've broken quite a few of what I consider the unspoken rules of this fandom, but still managed not to scare anyone off, at least not me.

Rule 1: Never kill any of the main characters. I know that deathfic exists, but it has always played a minor role. I guess killing off Alt-Lois is acceptable, because she was sort of dead anyway.

Rule 2: Don't let Lois be happy with anyone but Clark. Though she's not in a romantic relationship with the story telling Clark, she is with another Clark. Can't say I did see that twist coming. And I was in tears several times as Alt-Clark realized that no matter how patient he would be, there is no wooing this Lois.

Rule 3: Clark can't move on. I know there have been fics where he does move on. But again, they will never be part of the main stream. With one exception, there had never been a fic I read where I truly hope that he is going to move on.


It was so great to see this Clark grow into this universe. His life was so sad before he switched universes. And though he can't have this world's Lois, he can have happiness. I hope that the next part will have a new secret identity for him. Perhaps as Clark's long lost twin (I want to send you a copy of Erich Kästner's "Lisa and Lottie", the novel on which "the Parent Trap" is based on. Perhaps that will give you some ideas, huh? wink


Anyway, I just loved this story, though it's including almost everything that usually is not my cup of tea. Eagerly waiting for the next part. hyper

It's never too dark to be cool. cool
