Carol, I was really remiss telling you that I loved Reality, but maybe I can make it up to you by starting the feedback folder for Alternate Reality.
Great companion piece to the original. I loved both of these! Well done!
But 'fin' at the end doesn't seem quite right to me. I think there should be more to the story than that. Another sequel, please???
Great stories!

Hi, Like it!

Welcome back, Carol! I just read both stories and I love it. It's so sweet and there's a wonderful revelation. But as Irene, I feel there needs to be more. Maybe you have more inspiration for a sequel with Clark's reaction? Anyway, it's nice to see you back to writing.  Saskia

Hi, It's good to see you again  I've just read them both together, and I like them They work really well. I'm always looking for long stories to get my teeth into, and I forget that short stories can be just as fantastic, just in a different way. Like savouring your favourite chocolate in the selection box. Thank you! Helga

Carol, this was good... I liked seeing inside Clark's head through this whole process... but I really did want to see his reaction to Lois's little comment Maybe a third story, called Altered Reality? <g> Or something, just to reflect the new facts on the ground. PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

I just read both Reality and Alternate Reality. Great introspections! I mean despite HG Wells waving his gold watch and mutterring spool unspool, Lois and Clark are bound to feel a shade of deja-vu.
If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

Yep, need a companion piece that gives the interaction between the two. What next? (Then you have 3 parts and it's a series of stories )  Artemis

Great companion piece! I like how Clark doesn't really seem to keep track of the excuses he uses, he's so set on getting out of there to help.
Sequel please?

Yes, I'd like to see the next, please, Carol - with both of these stories it feels as if you've left us on an agonising cliffhanger.  So let's have a new reality, please?  Wendy

Thank you again, everyone, for the wonderful feedback! It feels so good to be writing again!
Thanks to the responses here and to the urging of Anna [BR extraordinare!], there is more coming - hopefully by midweek or so. As for what it is exactly... Ah, that you'll have to wait and see!
Thank you again and again!
