Congratulations on posting your first story, Poussin!!  I'm really impressed with the level of English you have for teaching it to yourself!  And not to mention, you've got a really cute idea for a story. Can't wait to see more! Sara

Good idea. I am curious to see where this goes.
I'm a firm believer in the fact that God doesn't put any more on us than we can bear. He does however make us come to Jesus every so often.

Good story!
As an English-speaker who's done his share of French-speaking, I'd be happy to help if you need. My French is a bit rusty and could use a workout.
One difference that I noticed wasn't always consistent: En français, les adjectifs possessifs ont le genre de ce qui est possédé; en anglais, ils ont le genre de celui qui possède. C'est-à-dire, "Lois et son fils," mais "Lois and her son."
Bonne début!

Fun story...I'm waiting for the next post! Your English is much better than my French, which at this point doesn't amount to much more than "Vive l'Empereur!" Susan
You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

I read your story and really enjoyed it. I think it's very impressive the grasp you have over the English language...especially if you're self taught. I went through years of French in elementary and high school and I totally suck at it, so anybody who can learn another language, especially on their own has my admiration. That said, there are some grammar problems and whatnot (obviously) but they don't really hinder the enjoyment of the story (and it is very good). If I wasn't a student I would offer to beta for you, but as it is I just don't have the time. Awesome job on your first fic and I hope to see more

Thank you all for your feedbacks. I'm really glad you liked it. I was very nervous. I still am about the two next part.
I know that I have many problems with grammar, particularly with the verbs. I'm working on it, and that will probably improve in few months. Until then, thank you for being so understanding. You're great.

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.
