WOW! What a list of reviews! I should write evil cliff-hangers more often!
I'm glad to have caught all of your attention again. I do understand that there's been a lull in action and all the last couple chapters, but I'm glad you've understood. Yes, welcome back to the action. I haven't had much experience writing this stuff at all (there's always new stuff to learn, especially on your first fic!) so hopefully it will be good...
OMG! I'm cursing you right now! You evil author, leaving us hanging like that!
You should take that as a compliment, BTW. Only the truly *wickedly* talented can leave us hanging like that.
I take it as the highest form of compliment!
Thank you so much for the review!
Glad to hear from you again, Borgship! I'm glad I still have the power to shock people out of lurkdom
. I hear you on the cold front--I'm only a few miles away from you, after all. But at least today it warmed up quite a bit. This last week has been bone-chilling.

You startled me into de-lurking again. Wow.
Good! <makes note to shock people more often> Thanks for the review!
Ann, thank you so much for your review. I read it like five times and then dragged my little sister in so she could hear it too.
You hit everything on the head, as usual. I've been playing a lot with all of the Supermen, and I am very glad that it has made you think. I'm trying to put a new perspective on some things, and make us all think about Clark in a way, perhaps, that he hasn't been thought of before. I like to imagine that while some poor unfortunate reader of DD is watching any of the filmed portrayals of Superman they might pause and think "Oh my gosh, this makes me think of Poor Clark in Darkest Dreams" or something like that.
The whole cocky attitude of Superman in the SII drives me crazy too. I mean, how self-righteous and everything does he think he is, that he can take advantage of Lois and then erase her memories like that!?
I don't think Clark would be Clark if he did that, let alone being able to be Superman as well. In my mind, what he did is as bad as rape, and he doesn't even seem to care
.
Wow. You got me ranting. Sorry about that. I apologize.
Anyway, what usually drives me to write fanfictions is to try and fix things that drive me mad but still perhaps make the story work. That doesn't mean I solve everything, but we'll keep our fingers crossed and see what happens. I'm still writing by the seat of my pants, at this point.

Superman Returns might have tried to show us a Superman who had been to hell and back and who had been stripped down to the very core of his being, but your story succeeds at showing us Superman, and Clark, that way.
Thank you so much! That just makes feel so nice! I'm so glad I've been able to get that all to work!
Hey, Tank! It's great to hear from you again! Thank you so much for your review. To tell you the truth, what you wrote kind of got me thinking, though I'm not going to be specific and say about what. But I think I just got a little idea that might grow into a big idea, and I have you to thank for it. And if that isn't ambiguous enough, I don't know what is. But there we are.
Hm...

(who reminds the gentle readers that cliff hangers are good)
Lol. Thank you so much for standing up for me, Tank! Here--I'll come hide behind you and you can take care of all the crazy wild men with pointy sticks and chain-saws.
I'm still working on the next chapter, people, but expect it, again, some time this week...probably around Thursday, but I'd be Friday at latest. Sorry again about the longer wait, but school is still crazy, and these chapters are generally taking more time to write than before (and not only because of length).
Thank you for all the reviews, support, er..."encouragement", and all of that...
