Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic The Worst Wounds or FDK:Darkest Dreams 21

I loved it.

Truly descriptive of the emotional pain that follows physical trauma.

So poignant. It wonderfully depicts the innate vulnerability that is possessed by anyone with emotions.

Hi! I've been reading "Darkest Dreams" and it's awesome. I keep checking during the day so I can read it as soon as its posted. Excellent story! Thank you for this wonderful story!

I have been reading stories at this site for several years now but, this is the first time I have posted a review for a story. I hope I post it properly. The caliber of writers at this site is unbelievable! I think 99% of you must be professional writers!

WOW. (Wa wa wee wow.)

I think this is the best part of the story you've posted so far Smirky! Bravo! This section is sooooo well-written. This part really made me wanna cry.

Looking on the bright side though, Martha is there for Poor Clark (I've decided that that's going to be his full name in all my reviews now--Poor Clark). I was worried you'd have Martha already kidnapped or something terrible! Thank god that's not the case.

Again, I think this is your best part. Keep 'em coming!

That was soooo beautiful

Another brilliant chapter, Smirky Raven. Well, I don't know what to call you this time. I'd appreciate a name!

I'm sorry I'm just going to quote one passage here, but I find it extremely beautiful:

This is simply perfect. So absolutely beautiful.

Okay, I've changed my mind. There will be two more quotes.

This, too, is perfect. Yes, that is what your story has been about so far, isn't it? They did dissect Clark like a frog, because he was an alien.

But to Martha, Clark is not an alien:

To Martha, Clark is her little, perfect star from the heavens. Wow. So lovely.

Okay, come back with more soon, Smirky Raven!

Congratulations! Your story is wonderful, and you have somehow encouraged me to post on the BBs. I have read L&C for many years here but have rarely posted.

You mentioned that it was the replys to your story that kept you going through your finals and thanked everyone, so I felt that I should thank you for your story and hard work and how it has helped me and stay sane through the last couple of weeks.

I am the graphic designer/layout editor for five weekly, local newspapers as well as running my own disc jockey businsness on the side and raising 3 children. The Christmas season has been more than a little bit hectic. I have enjoyed NOTHING MORE than sitting down at the end of the day and reading your posts. I look forward to it more than anything during my day.

Thank you again for your excellent story and all of the others out there that I read on almost a daily basis.

Thanks Again

Thanks for the reviews everyone!

Special thanks to our new reviewers here. Honestly, it is absolutely marvelous to get reviews no matter where they come from, but when they come from people who haven't reviewed yet...

Well, it's hard to tell how many people are following or even care about your story unless they review. So thank you very much.

Thanks, G. Kuhn! It is my dream to be a real writer, and I can't think of a better compliment than that.

Ultragirl--thanks so much! I'm glad you liked this chapter so much. It was one of those that just wrote themselves, and I actually wrote it...well, I think when I was working on chapter 12 at the same time. It just demanded to be written. I'm glad it turned out to your liking.

You want my *real* name? lol. Very well. It's Rachel--mild-mannered Rachel, hidden in sheep's clothing. You can call me that, if you get too confused between my many identities.

Thanks, Borgship! Again, it completely makes my day to bring a lurker out of the woodwork. <bows> I am very honored. I'd love to hear more from you, so keep reviewing <nudge, nudge, wink, wink>

WHOA! You're from UTAH, Borgship!?

Check out where I've said I'm from and see if you can figure out where that is. You've heard of it, right?

Small world, eh?

I know exactly what you mean, trying to get ready for Christmas and all. I'm still living at home, but I have 5 siblings, 4 of which still live at home with myself and my parents (if you haven't heard yet, I'm only 19). Well, maybe I don't know exactly what you mean, seeing as I don't have 3 kids, but I think I get the picture. I'm glad my story is acting as a good outlet for you--that's what it is for me! Good luck with everything!

Again, it was great to hear from all of you. I hope you are all having a great Christmas time.

Oh, and if everything goes according to plan, I may not be posting tomorrow until quite late, if at all, because I have all intentions of going skiing. So take a day off, relax, dream of happy stories with lots of merry laughter and hilarity.

Thanks agan,

SmirkyRaven

Woweee!

That was beautiful. I needed that. I needed him to let it out. I know there is more to come, but that emotional burst (I can't think of the word I want to use) was needed and excellent. Perfect!

I can't pick what part to quote, but...


That made my eyes tear.

So painful for Martha, but I really do like this.

pain, pain, pain... my heart hurts.

yes, exactly.

/me whimpers.

Well, Smirky, I've learned that your name is Rachel (at least in this MBS), you're a brilliant writer, and YOU'RE ONLY NINTEEN?

Gah! I might as well just give up. If you're this good at your age, by the time you're my age you'll be rich and famous and I'll be in the nursing home trying to convince my fellow inmates - er, patients - that "Yeah, I knew about Smirky Rachel when she was just nineteen! Shw wrote this terrific fan fiction that just clobbered my heart!" They'll laugh and tell me not to skip my meds any more.

Seriously, this is a wonderful story. You've captured Kal-El's broken mental state as well as (if not better than) any other author on this site has. The scene where Martha held her son and comforted him as he wept in her arms was so touching that I wanted to put a blanket over him and have someone bring in some chicken soup. And I'm still waiting for Lois to put the pieces together and see that the jigsaw puzzle which looked like it held two faces actually only shows one man's face. And then I want you to show me how she plans to take out her frustration without destroying the extremely fragile man she hustled out of the bad guys' clutches.

Next chapter, please. Not only do I want to know how Clark and Lois resolve this whole mess, I need to torture myself with your skill and level of achievement.

Maybe I'll just shoot my eye out with my Christmas present.
