Thanks Tricia for you encouraging comments. I've got a sequal planned out in my head, but I'm not sure if I'll write it.

Mouse huh

Mouse, having read this story through twice (or is it three times wink )I want to reiterate how good it is.

Alice has become a very real character, rather than the faceless homebody she was on the series. And bringing Alice and Perry together again made the rip very worthwhile.

I loved Lois because she wasn't a whiny victim, but a strong woman with a purpose. And she achieved her goal...now she has to work on Clark more.

A sequel is definitely in order. I'm around for beta-reading.

A solid, well-crafted story. Hard to believe that it's your first. You must have written extensively in other forums.

For me the most satisfying aspect was the fact that Lois acted intelligently concerning Luthor. Rather than the mindless acceptance of the Luthor fascade that the series foisted onto Lois, your Lois acted like Lois. Her natural curiosity and suspicion were aroused by the accusations of her friends. While, not willing to just accept their suspicions immediately, she didn't just reject them either. It made her do what Lois would do. Investigate for herself.

It was also nice to see Alice as a three-dimensional character in her own right. She was a natural confidant for Lois under the circumstances.

Well done.

Sucks, my foot! goofy This was a great story. I loved the women teaming up to investigate. Everything was well thought out and crafted.

Quote
“Clark,”

“Lois,” the two said simultaneously.

“Let me go first, please.” Lois asked.

Before Clark could reply, and before she could lose her nerve, Lois blurted out “Willyougooutwithme?”
Awww, loved that part! I fully expected...well scratch that, I never really know what to expect with these rewrites, but I always love it when lunkhead Clark doesn't go first. :p

Anywho, great story, and **coughwritethesequelcough**

Oh, it definitely didn't suck laugh !

This was exceptionally well-crafted, especially for a first story. However, I do have to bring up one little problem. We need to see what happens next!

You've got them on a solid first step to a great relationship, but we want to see what happens to Luthor, where the first date goes, how Perry's relationship with Alice progresses -- do I need to elborate?

Kindly drop those doubts and write the rest. As a new writer on the boards, you're going to have to learn to accept harrass -- uhm, encouragement, just like the rest of us.

Hey Mouse smile

I've been very bad at commenting on this story - and on others lately, too. frown But I want to echo what everyone else here has said: I've really enjoyed this. It's very well-written, nicely paced, and with a really nice balance of A- and B-plot.

In this section, I really liked Lois finding Superman in the cellar and taking care of him - and telling him that she needed him to get better because who would rescue her if he didn't? goofy And I loved her asking Clark out at the end.

That moment in the ambulance, when Lois, slightly delirious, imagined Superman and Clark's faces morphing into on, was very tantalising. wink And if there's one thing I'm disappointed about, it's that you didn't follow up on that at the end. Although if you really are planning a sequel I'll forgive you! goofy

Great work! thumbsup

Mouse, I read your story in one session. I enjoyed it immensely. It's really great! thumbsup

And yes - a sequel is definitely needed. So start writing! wink


Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.

Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!

Um sequal?! Write write write.

I read every part and I just loved it. I think there was a lull in postings before and I looked every lunch hour at work to see if a new part was up. I think this story rocked.


I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.
