Well, what do you think?

Ooooh! My kind of story. I was writing Regency romances before I stumbled onto this site. So far you've... er...Lois has the formula down pat. Woman in want of adventure is set up in a loveless match with a handsome but mysterious man with a secret. She needs to learn his secret and tame the wild beast of a man (usually they aren't as bad as their reputations suggest, unless you're reading a Harlequin bodice-ripper. Regency romances are all about witty banter and no sex until marriage.) Great job.

I can understand Clark's nervousness. If her draft with the names unchanged got leaked, it could lead to some serious consequences. Also, did she let the publisher -- Lex House perhaps -- read her opening chapter, because that would be bad?

So... where's the rest?

Fun! Anything's better than Wanda Detroit! I started to think it was going to be an elsewold story...nice fake out!

Famous last words. I think you could make an entire story out of someone getting their hands on this manuscript before Lois changes the names, and what Lois and Clark have to do to get it back.

I suppose Lois deserves to torment Clark a bit for keeping the secret from her for so long.

Total fake out.had me hella wanting the rest of the story (the first part) though.

Cute story.

And of course, Superman actually did have a super-horse named Comet back in the Silver Age.

Of course, a horse and a mask is actually a better disguise than a change of hairstyle and glasses.

If the masked man possesses all of "our" Clark's powers, it's interesting that he would choose to use a horse rather than to fly; even in his disguise, he is still holding back on what he can do. I wonder what it says about Lois that she made this choice for her character?

Snicker! This is a great way to end the work day! Ciao!

Yeah, I'd like to read that historical, too, Shayne

It is very possible that the Clark of Kent in this story flew with his horse, but not in a way that it was to ascertain by the people who saw him. I am guessing that the masked highwayman worked at night in the cover of darkness in the secluded back country of England. (Sigh. I miss reading Regencies.) Therefore, he could easily seem to appear out of the darkness, when in reality he and, let's just call the horse by its rightful name, Comet had just landed from out of the skies. Works for me. Perhaps it will be a surprise Lady Lois will discover at the end of the story.

Cute, : )

You sure that you don't write Regency romances on the side? You seem to have it just right.

I agree with Taillee - now I want to know the rest of what Lois wrote.

I have to join in the call for seeing more of Lois's story. This sounds like it has the potential to be a best seller.

Of course, if Lois does not give Sir Clark all of the powers, than it will not be as obvious of a knock-off of reality.

And there I was thinking the next scene would be, "Mawwedge is what bwings us togevver today."

Thanks for the early morning smile.

Hi Shayne!

Lex

So, Clark? But Lois is younger? A girl of three-and-ten, freshly flowered?

Martha kind of…?





She really does want it both ways, huh?

Hey! Where’s the rest of the story!

Duh!



What a fun piece!
