Oooh Feedback! Thanks guys.
Terry Thanks for your FDK, Terry
Who is that older woman? Not likely it's Clark's mom Lara, unless her place in the household involves training and placing new servants. And is there a threat of war here? Is Nor a menace? Is this new visitor going to throw the political structure into turmoil? Will the spaceship be analyzed, its point of origin found, and Earth colonized? Will Lois develop any strange powers from the red sun?
There are enough ideas here for a series of 'spin-off' stories, Terry. As for my fic, I could answer a couple of 'yes-es' and a few 'no-s'!
Glad you didn't find it too farfetched - and I loved the way your described the normal existence of a FoLC!
Brenda Thanks for your comments.
The reason for the brand will be answered very soon and they will find a way to communicate - also soon.
Sarah Thanks ... I'm glad you found it an interesting set-up.
RE the WiS series - My intention was to write the next fic in the series and put this on the backburner for next year - but the ideas for this just pushed everything else out of my head. The series is at a good point now - so a break won't hurt - hopefully December. Sorry!
Michael Thanks Michael - your enthusiasm makes my day.
Re Lois's clothes. My thinking was the the high-tech pod was almost like an advanced space suit - providing oxygen etc. However, the thought of them pulling Lois out of it in full astronaut gear is pretty funny! They may have shot her on sight!
robinson You are spot on regarding the title - who better than a Lois Lane to awaken the heart of a Kal-El/Clark Kent?
Thanks for reading.
Carol I'm so glad you posted FDK Carol, because I have you to thank for the idea.
I read the title 'Backwards' to the very first part you posted and thought 'oooh, Lois on Krypton'. I opened your story, fully expecting to read a variation of the set-up that was already close to fully-formed in my head.
That first fic of yours, and the follow-on fics have been great, but clearly, nothing like what I was expecting ... so I decided it would be OK to go off in my own direction.
I did attempt to PM you to explain this before posting the fic, but your box is full.
So anyway ... many thanks ... for both the FDK and the idea!
Artemis You're right about the name. It has no further relevance in the fic - so I didn't give it a lot of thought - but Shuster's isn't very Kryptonian. I'll probably change it before it goes to the Archive.
Thanks for your FDK and I'm glad you're getting back to writing.
Thanks everyone
Corrina.
