Thanks everyone! Muse finally got in gear [at least sort of]. Hope to finish this this week! Since I wrote one whole chapter last week, that would be quite an accomplishment. I finally let my muse go where she wanted for a bit [the story after this one; tentative title: Someone Else's Dreams] in the hopes that if she got that out of her system, she'd be more cooperative. It seems to have worked. Whether it will continue to or not... that's another story
.
Sarah - I loved putting that in there - thought it was so fun
.
Karen - Poor Jimmy
. I love Jimmy - I'm like the Anti-Tank there.
CJ - sorry about the Vance thing
. When I wrote this I wasn't sure what his actual name was going to be so I used Vance. I thought I got all of them switched... So glad to hear that you're doing well! So is DS. Look for more recent pics of him later this week
.
Amber - more on Jimmy in the next chapter.
Sara - See Michael's response re telling Jimmy. As I said above, I love Jimmy. Does Jimmy NEED to know - probably not, but they will discuss why they told him in the next chapter and I think they're fairly valid reasons myself. And in this world at least, outside of the psycho dictator, they haven't had the psycho of the week attacking Superman experience at this point.
Michael - Jimmy's child? /looks puzzled/ Oh right - no Lucy in this universe
.
JD - Thank you!
Natascha - awwww - I hope you feel better. I've had bronchitis several times [every couple years I get it two or three times
] and that's no fun. Last time I really had it, I was pregnant and the cough lasted from early Nov [finally diagnosed in mid Dec] to nearly August - that was no fun. Van was born 15-16 years before Clark but his ship took 10-12 years longer to get here [in some kind of suspended animation] making him in his late 20s - at last that's how I see it
.
Iolan - see above/the next chapter.
More soon!
