Since part 13 included the major WHAM of this story, I thought I should write something as a belated ‘author’s notes’, in order to explain a few things.

I got the idea for this story after reading Kathy Brown’s ‘Into Each Life…’, which is, BTW, a great story and I strongly recommend it. (If you haven’t read it, sorry for the spoilers.) In this story, Lois finds out she’s pregnant with Clark’s child, and they try to decide what to do with this child. The question that began bugging me a bit later was, ‘what if the child WASN’T Clark’s?’

At first, I was planning to write a short story about it. But then, I was faced with ‘technical’ difficulties.

First of all, if it weren’t Clark’s, whose would it be? If it was some colleague’s, why Clark would bother? Lois wouldn’t let him anyway. Besides, the dates wouldn’t match. Have sex with someone, break up with him, get involved with Clark, and all in a month’s length? Doesn’t sound so ‘Loisy’ to me. So, I decided that a rape was my best option.

Second problem. If it was a rape, wouldn’t have Superman saved her? So, it had to be before Superman was created, but before she found out she was pregnant she’d have to have met him and fallen in love with him.

Third problem. How to make all this a short story?

Answer: You don’t.

So, that’s why we’re at part 13 and I’m not planning to stop. (Sorry! But that’s the truth.) I spent so much time at the beginning, and now that I’ve reached my central point, I can’t give it just one or two parts. So, I still can’t give any answers as to how long will it be.

I hope the above made some sense.

Please feel free to leave comments of any kind on the story, my notes or both. I would be glad to receive them.

See ya,

Hi,

Great part.

Let it be ulcer for to much coffee!

More ASAP, please.

Wow!!
Totally unexpected...

In real life, Lois would probably be considering the A-word. Being pregnant with a rapist's child is definitely one of the more accepted reasons that a woman chooses that route.

Since I doubt that Lois would opt for that, I think that Clark would offer to marry her and make a family out of the situation. You didn't say if the rapist was a different race or culture, and of course, if that was the case, they wouldn't be able to have people think that Clark was the father.

You've definitely got some different routes to go here with the story. I await!

OMG !!!

Rape !!! pregnant !!!

What's going on??

More please soon

I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Anna,

Where are you?

Maria, I have good news and bad news.

Good news: I've finished writing it.

Bad news: Carole has had very little time to BR, because of work. And now that she's on vacation, she doesn't have a computer.

If that's any comfort, I expect to have part 14 within the next three weeks. I've also promised to myself to have the whole story posted by mid-September (that's when school begins and it'll be very difficult to keep up).

Thanks for taking the time!

Hi,

Anna
Yes, is good new. At least is finish that's a big step.

Hi,

what happened to this story? You mentioned part 14 but it never was posted. You even said you finished the story...

I read it today for the first time and I like it very much and I like to know how it will end. Please post the last part/s.


Bye
Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,

Wow! Thanks for taking the time!

There's a long story behind this story... In short, I had a hard disk failure, lost everything and it took me until last December to retrieve it.

Now I have the story until the end and the BR's edits. The only problem is that the path I followed (I mean, Lois followed) ended up a bit awkward. I've been meaning to simplify things a bit, but it doesn't work out the way I want it.

Thanks again for letting me know you enjoyed the story. I'll do my best to have it ready soon.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Wow, I didn't actually think to get an answer, so thanks for taking the time.

I can't wait to read the end and I hope you can figure out the problems you have with it.

If you want my opinion on it then post it like it is because I don't mind if it gets a little bit complicated, I just want to read the end .


Take care
Sabrina
