Two days after the last chapter post, and I'm already itching for more. Corrina, I'm delighted that you've finished Trail and are ready to start on Highway! And I'm doubly delighted that this thread is working as a support group for the author as well as the readers.  Kathy

Thanks, Kathy. You're right, sometimes it feels so good to tell someone ... "  my mind and screen are blank  how am I going to get them out of this mess?  I know exactly where I'm going, but I have no idea how to get there  I've started posting this story  As for Highway ... I'm still half asleep right now, despite it being after 8:30am. The reason? I didn't get to bed until nearly 2am because Highway Part 1 was flying off my fingers and onto the screen. Assuming I can function at a high enough level to get my son to school, I'll come back here and check over Trail 21 and post (although what I really want to do is find out if what I wrote last night makes any sense at all  ) Thanks for your interest, everyone. I'm really stoked by the reaction to Junction, Bridge, and Trail. I'm not sure how the readers will feel, but I already know that Highway will be my favourite of the four. See you after a couple of cups of coffee!! Corrina.

Woohoo to the story flying off your fingers. As far as I'm concerned each chapter of TMTY gets better and better so I will not be surprised when Highway is my fave of the four.
Enjoy your coffee! Hopefully by the time the kids are in bed, there will be another part to read. Yay!

Yay for starting with Highway! l also think that each part gets better as we progress and I am sure that we will all like Highway - and that it'll be our favourite - once "fit for public consumption"

Since Corrina has already said that "highway" is going to be her favorite, I vote that we also lobby for a "super-highway" to be written. We need one step beyond favorite. <bg>

OK so who has played the back rub scene out in their heads over and over with different outcome?

Loved the arm rub, for a minute I thought she was going to straddle him and give him a coronary. I think the kiss should come soon after all this rubbing. I am thinking that he will choose rubbing her rather then her rubbing his chest. He will be so exposed that way. There is no place to hide his front happenings if she gives him a chest rub. But if she is turned around so she can't see the effect he has a better shot at keeping his cool. Will she tell him it is perfectly normal and Ok that he get turned on so he doesn't feel too much guilt about it? As usual, I can't wait for more. Laura

I've been wondering that, too, Laura, how eventually they will need to have the conversation where she assures him that a physical reaction is not only OK but, in fact, normal and desirable. I don't think Corrina writes nfic (Sob! ), but this certainly is one of those scenes that could slide very easily into that category, LOL. But especially given that things need to move really slowly to help Clark get over his past, I'm loving the slow seduction in these chapters, both physical and emotional. Corrina, you are amazing!

*clutches at my heart and staggers backwards* Really??? I'm not finding anything when I search in the nfic TOC folder. We probably don't want a direct link in this folder, but if you could give me a little hint to point me in the right direction -- maybe a general date it was posted or PM me a link? -- I'd sure appreciate it!  Clearly I need to pay better attention to these things. Kathy

Laura - 'front happenings' is absolutely  And thanks for explaining what I felt had to be left out of the fic - you nailed Clark's dilemma perfectly. As for nfic - Michael's right, I do write it occasionally (only occasionally because it's so difficult to write well) and there wasn't an nfic part to AMH (actually, there's an unfinished fic on my hard drive called 'In the Cave', which goes into explicits regarding the 'wedding night'. I don't know if I'll ever finish it.) 'So Many Questions' and 'Aussie Rules' have nfic chapters. And ... I'm hesitant to say this because whenever I finish a fic, Goo tends to throw something new at me, but my current intention is, after TMTY is finished, to get back to a five-parts-written-and-betaed fic which carries a rating that makes it inappropriate for this board TMTY update - Highway 2 has gone to the betas, I'm working on Highway 3. Thanks  Corrina.

I pass an icebag to Corrina to put on her head. When in doubt add a little loving to fill in until your muse gets back on track. We won't mind at all!!!!  Pat
