Hi guys!
Thanks very much for the wonderful feedback. I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond until now. I'm away on holiday and have been staying at my brother's flat in Auckland. I'm now over at my Grandma's house for a few days before heading back to Auckland and then home.
Anyway...back to the feedback!
But... Mindy Church!!! Oh, Anna, you had me groaning. Unfortunately, I agree with you. Mindy Church would be acquitted, and for a very simple reason. She is filthy rich, and therefore she can afford the very best lawyers. The very best lawyers in America, who will charge their clients a fortune, are so good at their job that they will almost certainly get their clients acquitted. After I followed the O.J. Simpson trial, I firmly believe that. But oh, how maddeningly irritating it is!!!
I'm glad that you agreed with me, Ann. While I wanted to tie everything up in a neat little package and have Mindy Church sent off to jail for the rest of her life, it just didn't seem realistic; I wasn't able to imagine it in my mind properly. I guess my mind was thinking the same thing as yours - Mindy Church is very rich. Her lawyers are the best. There's no way they would let her go down.
For all of that, I enjoyed the court scenes, and with my extremely limited experience I found them very realistic.
I'm glad you found them realistic! I was so worried writing them! I was drawing on my Law and Order knowledge to create the scenes...
Very nice ending, Anna. Such a sweet little story and I enjoyed it all the way through.
Thank you very much, Sheila! I really appreciate your thoughts.
I very much enjoyed the very sweet scenes between Lois and Clark, too. This was lovely:
This, she realised, is what life was going to be like with Clark; being swept off her feet constantly by the little things he did. The sweet, charming and loveable things; the strong, yet tender and considerate things; the farm boy slash flyboy things. All the things that made him exactly who he was, whether he wore a suit and tie or another kind of suit altogether: Clark.
Aww, I'm glad that everyone liked that bit! I really enjoyed writing it.
I always like sweet lines myself...
Very waffy with just the right amount of an A plot to drive the important stuff - WAFF!!
Aww! Thanks for reading, Missy! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! It's always nice when someone comes and gets to read it all in one go (apart from perhaps the epilogue...
).
There was one thing that was left out.... Lois' left cross to Dougal's cheek!!
Hah! I'll bet you're not the only one who thinks that...
Sure! I'd be very happy to see an epilogue with their wedding in it. (I'd be even happier if you'd give us at least a little hint of what their honeymoon is like, too.... )
I see nfic epilogue! Pllllleeeeeaaaaasssseeee??
And I wouldn't be adverse to a wedding epilogue, either.
I'd love to see an epilogue with a wedding and a honeymoon - the nfic folder would work nicely for that if you were so inclined!!
Haha! Looks like just about everyone would like an epilogue that deals with the wedding/honeymoon night. Unfortunately, I can't say that it will be nfic, because it won't - I just don't write nfic myself (don't think I'd be any good at it anyway...). I will, however, write a gfic (or PG-fic, if you will...) epilogue, dealing with the same topics. I promise waff. There can't be anything else, since the A-plot is all done with!
I'll work on it while on my holiday since I'm just relaxing and I find writing relaxing.
I brought all my files with me on a USB drive, so no problems there.
I also brought a little vignette that I'm working on, so we'll see which one gets posted first!
Thanks again for the feedback. I really appreciate it!
~Anna.
