Okay - feeling much better today
.
Karen - thank you! Dead Trask is always a good thing!
Ann - Snuggly is good yes? /happy sighs/ I knew it was the red K all along, but it was only a couple weeks ago that it hit me - epilogue - duh! as a way to explain it to the reader
.
Natascha - thank you
.
Elisabeth - my understanding was that each PIECE affects him differently but on the show he never encountered the same PIECE in more than one ep [but within each ep, that piece affected him the same way], so it made sense to me that this piece would always affect him the same way.
Patrick - I'm hurt. I'm beyond hurt. Evil? Me? What EVER made you think that? /me looks for wall to duck behind
Michael - Yeah - had to find a way to work Jimmy/Lucy in there
. I contemplated posting SED 1 today. I've got the first 10 chapters done but probably wouldn't be able to post 2 until Monday so... Next week? Unless you guys want 1 now even if 2 may be next week... I even worked up a summary of OTOH/UP yesterday. I won't tell you how long that was...
Amy - thanks
.
Corrina - thank you!!
Happy Girl - we went through about a dozen E names [or more] in IRC one day while I was trying to find one but needed some valid reason for them to pick it besides being an E name and so Ezzie was born
. Contemplated making the girl Abigail Rebecca or something for AR [Arkansas] but...
Laura - glad you liked it!
Bob - hehe. I love Lucy and Jimmy - heck I wrote a whole fic about them that I think about 5 people read but I loved so...
Glad you liked it!
JD - next ride coming up soon! Glad you liked it!
Terry - snarky Jonathan was fun to write - I may have to find him more often [random side note: should I be worried that my 1yo son has put a tiara on himself? Sorry he just came walking out here...]. I must admit that the ice storm was Cat's idea... See note to Michael re: SED...
Artemis - hehe - that didn't even occur to me
. I kind of like the name Zeke but not enough to use it myself...
Tank - glad to have you. Believe it or not, given my recent history, at least one of my next couple WIPs doesn't have a pregnant Lois...
Lote - wow! All at once?! I'm impressed! Glad you enjoyed it!
Well, as I mentioned above Someone Else's Dreams [the OTOH/UP sequel] will be posted soon. Hope to get Ch. 11 started today. Need to figure out exactly where it's going - have some general ideas and some stops along the way but need a more specific map [like driving from San Diego to Maine and knowing you have to stop in OKC and Indianapolis - in between you have options...].
I'm going out of town this weekend - without kids!!!! We're going to St. Louis and 2-3 Cardinals/Rockies games. We're even staying at the Hilton at the Ballpark [or whatever it's called] and hoping to take a tour of the stadium, but I'll not be online. DH is taking the next 2 days off cuz we have a lot to get done before we leave [friend is staying here with the kids]. It's been 2 years since we had a weekend away - I was 7mos pregnant with DS and waddling through downtown St. Louis in TORRENTIAL downpour the 5 blocks from the stadium to our hotel was not fun. Looks like it should be pretty dry this weekend though
.
Anyway, thanks again everyone! I appreciate all your feedback! Off to the archive it goes!
Carol
