Plus I just realized that "text-only" format does not mean "no italics", so now I feel like a complete dork for using awkward <> brackets for people's thoughts instead of italics. That put me in a non-writing mood too, lol.
Personally, I prefer brackets <> for thoughts. I guess I'm just used to seeing them...
Seeing thoughts in Italics is just a weeee bit confusing to me, because Italics are often also used for emphasis, flashbacks, background noise/narration, dual perspective within one story...etc.
Brackets <> I've only ever seen in thoughts, translations from foreign languages, and the occasional action, so I understand them better in that context.
Good luck on your idea! If it's anything like the stuff you've been posting, you may be in line for a kerth next year (or whenever you finish).
I'll be back with some proper fdk soon---I'm in the middle of making soup! *runs*

*back!*
Clark mumbled incoherently to himself as he shifted against her. His eyes remained closed even as one of his arms snaked its way to her back. Sleepily, he said, “Mmm, sure babe. Let’s just make sure that Lois doesn’t find out about this…she’d totally kill me.”
LOL!
The hit-and-run drivers cringed as they studiously avoided looking at Superman.
Can more than one person be a hit-and-run driver? I mean, cars only have one steering wheel...
Sorry. Going back to the fic, now! ^_^
The driver jumped nervously, while the passenger simply looked sullen. Finally mustering the courage to speak, the driver croaked, “Aw man, you used to be one of the *cool* cops, Superman.”
Clark’s eyes widened. “Are you saying that people have gotten off the hook before because I didn’t read them their rights?”
“Well no, but it was nice being arrested without having to put up with hearing that boring stuff all over again.”
*snork!* Hahahaha!
Love the way the guy makes a complete turn around.
