Thanks for encouraging me to do some nebula hunting, Michael, because I do think that kind of thing is fun! I hope that my knowledge of nebulae will make up for my lack of knowledge of the episodes of LnC:TNAOS. In other words, I think that the House of Luthor arc and the wedding fiasco followed after the Nightfall business. But if not - well, you can guess what I think you should give us in the sequel, right? Ann

You're welcome And yeah, Nightfall was Mid-Season One, HoL was the season finale And that's a cool image. But that's not Nightfall, that's more like Dottie from 'Armageddon' Michael

Okay, Michael. You have officially lost all rights to call me evil. I think you may even have lost all rights to call Carol evil - and that's saying something! I mean, neither of us have ever finished a story with an evil ending.
I can't believe you did this. I kept watching the scroll bar on my screen and thinking "How is he going to wrap this up? We're getting closer and closer to the end and Lois still hasn't realized that Clark is Superman." And then she went and sent him off to New Krypton without knowing.
How could you end the story this way? How could you? It's just so... well really, there is no word for it but evil.
And you could have redeemed yourself slightly if the sequel was already written and you were going to start posting soon, but we have to wait for it? This is like some sort of torture device.
You might try applying to some TV network and offer to write the end of season episodes - because this may just be the best cliff-hanger ending ever.

I don't think I've posted publicly though I did give Michael plenty of 'argh how can you leave us there!'s when betaing, but I gotta go with Nancy on this one... Carol

I mean, neither of us have ever finished a story with an evil ending. How could you end the story this way? How could you? It's just so... well really, there is no word for it but evil. I know. It was fairly easy, too. And I think I came up with the ending somewhere during the 'bad' spots of OTOH And you could have redeemed yourself slightly if the sequel was already written and you were going to start posting soon, but we have to wait for it? This is like some sort of torture device. I checked. The Genevea Convention doesn't list fictional cruelty as a form of torture You might try applying to some TV network and offer to write the end of season episodes - because this may just be the best cliff-hanger ending ever. I don't think I've posted publicly though I did give Michael plenty of 'argh how can you leave us there!'s when betaing, but I gotta go with Nancy on this one... Yeah, you did, Carol. Especially when I sent you the last part in sections while I was finishing it. Thanks so much for being such a great BR Michael PS: I wonder what would happen if a certain Mindy Simmons where to apply for the position of concubine in the household of Lord Nor...

Okay, so I finally got to read your fabulous story - and in one part, too! Waiting does have advantages. Quoting all my favorite parts here would be too much, I'm afraid, because in the whole five parts, there's a lot to quote. In a way, I love the ending, with Lois realizing whom she has sent away. Galactically stupid does get a whole new meaning, doesn't it? The only thing I don't like (yet) is that there is no real ending. The story sure lacks closure. If I may suggest something for a future crossover: Let Clark (Kal-El) be amnesiac (as in ASU) and try to figure things out on NK. Show us how Zara and Kal-El plan their wedding - and end the story in front of the altar (or whatever equivalent there is). Then, write another sequel to wrap everything up - mainly how Zara and Kal get out of the situation and Clark returns to Lois. I even have a few ideas for the titles of the sequels: Wedding Planners (yeah, right) and something like Wedding Stoppers. (What might stop the wedding? Nor invading Earth? Nor kidnapping Lois and taking her to NK? Nightfall approaching the Earth? Clark regaining his memory?)

Hi Mellie! So glad you found the time to squeeze it in Okay, so I finally got to read your fabulous story - and in one part, too! Thanks, *hugs*, and LOL The only thing I don't like (yet) is that there is no real ending. The story sure lacks closure.

Oh, by the way, I found a perfect nebula for the situation, too. Doesn't it look like an evil little DarthMike laughing at Lois' galactical stupidity?

Good question. Really good question. The two bright spots actually remind me more of eyes. Evil eyes. Like this one: Maybe crossed over with a Sith robe /mwhahahahahahahaha/ Michael

Hey, we are only talking about Lois's stupidity here, but what about Clark's lies? He should be proud of his deception skills, right? How about he does a bit of repentance, too? Repent (Sorry about the weird cartoon, but the guy in it does look a bit like Clark, doesn't he? But whatever you do, Michael, don't have Clark follow the cartoon's advice when he meets up with Lois - remember that he should do some repentance himself! And as long as he is powerless, Lois could have some fun punishing him for his lies the way the cartoon suggests, right?) Ann P.S. Oh, and yes, Mellie, that nebula does look like an evilly grinning Darth Michael!!!

But whatever you do, Michael, don't have Clark follow the cartoon's advice when he meets up with Lois Michael, you dog, you're leaving us hanging here? /points to earlier FDK and mentioning of supposed evilness. Of course, I still argue that that's just unsubstantiated rumors and flat out defamation by the National Inquisitor

Cool and *g* to the pics I wonder, that Lois-in-a-white-dress pic could make for a great formal concubine gown. You know, when the concubine is taken out in the entourage during visit to the subjects. Michael

I loved the ending. I read parts 4 and 5 together and, if I didn't say so earlier, I also loved the thought of Lex marrying Tez. Talk about a match made in... not quite heaven. I think that Tank has met his match. Of course, Tank makes it look easy. There's an artform to it. But your humorous taunts of evil-ness are pretty horrific, as well. Elisabeth

Still looking for the next story in the series. /taps foot impatiently I wonder, that Lois-in-a-white-dress pic could make for a great formal concubine gown. I guess I'm weird. When I saw that, my first thought was, "Oh, the Doctor has a bowsprit on his Tardis now?" Terry (who has entertained the notion that the Doctor should regenerate as a female just for one season. Would be interesting, no?)

Hi Terry! So great to know I'm not the only one looking for the sequel Thanks, I'm glad you liked this enough to want to see the sequel. LOL on the bowsprit. I've never seen Dr. Who and just checked up on wiki a bit, but wouldn't it be fun, too, if Tempus where a Doctor, too On a more serious not, the sequel will be the first thing with more than a part I'll work on. But right now, I'm totally swamped in work (and a little on the side BRing ) Michael
