I asked first :p Just sayin'....

This morning I had somewhere to be before 9 am, but I decided to see if there was a possibility that Corrina had put #1 of the road on line. When I found it, of course I couldn't just leave without sitting down and reading the whole thing. So...I was 15 minutes late to meet with the women instead of being one of the first to arrive. One of the girls looked at me and asked if I was reading fanfic. When I said yes, she said she bet it was Superman. (My guilty sins are not a secret!)

Thanks Corrina! This story was worth all 15 minutes it took me to get my fill.

My name is Pat, and I am trying to quit being addicted to TMTY, but it is almost impossible.

Hi Pat I am Laura, welcome to TYTM anonymous. I am starting a twelve chapt er I mean step program this week.

Step one: Avoid the computer! It is too risky to tempt fate.

Step two: Once you have failed step one, go directly to e mail, do not pass go, do not go to the fanfic link.

Step Three: Once you have failed step two and peeked into the fanfic folder, do NOT open Corrina's story.

Step four: So you peeked and now you are having withdrawal because Corrina didn't post yet. LEAVE THE COMPUTER! Do not continually check the fanfic folder.

Step Five: Stop banging your head on the desk and move to step 6.

Step six: Have a meal, hug your son, stay away from the computer!

Step seven: Do not ignore the needs of your family or your job to read Corrina's story just because she finally posted.

Step eight. Once the elation of reading Corrina's story has past and need and want sets in, do not fill your face with food to fill the gap until she posts again.

Step nine: Stop biting your nails or any other disgusting habit you may have picked up since reading TMTY. Try not to concentrate on HIGHWAY

Step ten: Stop chanting and meditating the phrase:
"Corrina will post the next chapter" Corrina will post the next chapter"

Step eleven: Continue not to keep looking in the fanfic folder for HIGHWAY.

Step tweleve: Rinse and repeat all 12 steps...

I love the idea of this 12-step programme; however, sadly, I do not think it works I have tried avoiding the fanfic folder to see if Corrina has miraculously posted the next part. The only thing that works is if I am not anywhere near a computer that day. But then the next morning, guess where I go as soon as possible? The fanfic folder!

Sad and pathetic really (all Corrina's fault too :p )

Bringing this to the top. It looks like the kiss is coming soon. Who wants to take bets on how many chapters Corrina will hold off on it for? It seems like it should be in the next chapter but I don't think I should get my hopes up. I say 2. Laura

I also don't think we should get our hopes up, because then we'll be even more disappointment once the kiss somehow magically doesn't appear in the next few parts.

I do hope it is soon though! I think this is the longest we have ever had to wait and is so anxious for it to happen!

And people gave me a hard time for waiting until the end of "Momentum" for L&C to share a real kiss! That story was only 260K. Clearly Corrina should have been around back then to make me look generous.

Kathy

LOL you have a point Kathy.

No, Kathy. You've severely underestimated our ability to give a hard time to multiple authors at the same time. And, yes, Corrina has teased us with "the kiss" for longer than you did, but her Clark came from a dark place. You were teasing us for a different reason.

I definitely see a more traditional date coming, with the customary kiss at the end. Unless he tries to shave and freaks out about the super powers before the evening arrives. I could totally see Corrina torturin... erm, taking that route.

But I hope not. Unfettered, amnesiac Clark is definitely more sexy.

Ack! She only posted yesterday. Do you think she'll post early again?

B

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely:

No celebrating tonight, though. Hawks/Geelong game

To paraphrase Clark, "It's been 4 days, 6 hours, and 47 minutes. But who's counting?"

I need a fix...

I believe I already said this once:





Oh, as for the BR'ing. The problem is, Corrina's sending parts out while she's still writing. So, the only thing one would gain, would be a head start. And then, one's back to the torturous hamster wheel of getting a few minutes of bliss and the chance to comment before it's all dark clouds and despair all over again.

Michael

I agree with Michael about BRing not being the answer. The only answer is to have her write the whole thing, start to finish, and then publishing it in about 3 pieces at most. (My tolerance for delays is not long.) Or, maybe we can figure a way to mainline this story by attaching ourselves to Corrina. She needs about 50 or 80 people attached to her as she goes to the store or just to the park with her children. (Not a threat, Corrina, but a gentle hint that we need another dose of this story. It could get ugly if we are denied for too long.)

Pat <bg>

Because I sound completely crazy, I swear I'm going to the library on Monday morning and getting myself something else to read. No one needs to be that close to insanity just because she has to wait for a great story to develop. PROMISE!

I *used* to do that! At least, I used to have the entire story written before posting Part 1. However, that was before my stories got so looooooong! AR was 68 parts. TMTY is 71 parts and it's still not finished!




/nervous cough, eyes darting left and right/ I'm going away. And my computer isn't coming with me.



For anyone who is still talking to me - it will only be for three days. Hawthorn play in Adelaide next weekend, and it's my wedding anniversary. What can I say?

I'll *try* to post 2 parts before I leave - which according to Michael in the FDK thread should just about get you to the start of the date!

Corrina.

Happy Anniversary!I hope your team wins! Enjoy your time away. If you can post before you go that would be great. But if not we will all still be here when you get back. No worries. Laura

May God continue to bless you and your marriage. Congratulations. I hope you and your husband have a wonderful weekend together.

Is there *any* chance we'll get that )

Happy Anniversary!!!

We'll still talk to you once you get back

I think that you should aim for a 100 parts which is very possible since no one wants to see this end (except for maybe you?)

Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your trip.

And I'd totally be on board with DW's suggestion ... 100 parts of this story would be just fine with me!
