Well, here it is. Please let me know what you think, even if you didn't like it all that much. Feedback - even negative feedback - is important to writers of all levels of skill and experience.

Good wrap-up to the story...all loose ends accounted for. You've left it with a positive vision for the future of this universe.

Why? Because it was an alt-universe? Because it didn't end with Lois and Clark as a couple? There are other stories in the archive that fit both of those criteria.

Certainly not everyone will like every story that is posted here. You guided many potential readers away by your very clear warnings at the beginning - a move I agreed with, by the way. You needed readers to be open to the alt-universe you were creating, and if I hadn't been forewarned about the darkness, I truly believe I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. So I appreciated your warning, and I'm glad I gave your story a chance. Not every story has to be WAFFY and romantic...sure, those will probably get more readers and feedback, but that doesn't mean they automatically have more artistic merit.

Be confident and proud of what you created. It was unique and original, and those aren't bad things.

A well written story that had me anxiously waiting for each chapter. The background you gave showed why Lois reacted the way she did. I almost thought she was just going to shoot Lester and be redeemed but the events simply got out of hand and she choose wrongly. I like Clark ending up with Lucy. Thanks for a great read.

I have very little time for responding, but I definitely enjoyed this story.
