I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

I agree! That's really funny! I laughed out loud! And it's a very clever twist, too! Poor Clark can always find solace in his wife.
Unless she's working on the next Dalek invasion.
I like Doctor Who. I've liked that show ever since I first saw the Jon Pertwee episodes on the Dallas educational station back in the mid 80's. (They'd just bought the broadcast rights.) And I'm enjoying the latest incarnation on SciFi channel, courtesy of the BBC.
But I have to say that, as many weird things the Doctor has been through - including all those funky regenerations - is it possible to come up with original ideas for Who fiction? Are there any avenues which have not been explored? Is there any more typing balm left in Gilead?
Wait, what am I saying? With folks who can write cool stuff like this little vignette, the sky isn't anywhere near the limit!
Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.

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.

O_o AT first I was so totally afraid that Lois was having an affair with St John... I even let out a cry of mortification!! But then I'm not sure this is better... Wendy AND Julie BOTH writing Doctor Who fic? Oh woe!  Very cute! =D
Mmm cheese.
I vid, therefor I am.
The hardest lesson is that love can be so fair to some, and so cruel to others. Even those who would be gods.

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

ROTFL!  And Julie too?  Ursie
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!

Mary, this was a lot of fun! I didn't see the twist coming either.
And we need to get Wendy - and Julie - to stop torturing the poor boy and get back here pronto! I don't want Dr. Who to feel neglected, however - even though I know nothing about him, we don't want him to feel the pain and anguish that poor Clark is experiencing right now, do we. Maybe Wendy and Julie would be willing to split their time 50/50...

Wow, I almost choked on my water at the end. I knew there'd be some twist--that it couldn't be Lois leaving--but what a twist!
Good for you for outing those two vagabonds!!

*Doubles over in laughter* This was just BRILLIANT! I wondered when you said 'he' was English and then when you said Doctor Who I nearly spit out my drink all over my keyboard SO FUNNY! (And there's nothing wrong with a little Who fic...nothing at all...)

...You just had to shame us in public, huh? <g> I have to say, though, "Julie is writing it too" is not a valid defense for Wendy since it's her fault in the first place. <g> Julie

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.
