Thanks everyone for the feedback on this. This part was really difficult for me to write because I'm not an A-plot sort of person, and this treaded dangerously close to having to fake an A-plot for me.
Elisabeth -
I totally didn't recognize who Drew was. Looking back I wonder why he leaked her leads, even though I totally understand why he warned her off the case.
I had hoped I'd made that part clear enough, but I may work on that in my re-write before I submit it to the archives. What I was going for was that he knew there was something big going on, and he wanted Lois to get the story. However, when he first talked to her he didn't have any idea of just how dangerous this was. By the time he realized it, it was too late.
Thank you for not ending the part at this point.
You have no idea how tempting that was for me to do just that
Carol - Thanks for the rec! I never thought Scardino was that bad, just a plot contrivance to keep Lois and Clark apart for a little longer. In this world I've let him be in love with someone else and taken away those awful shirts, so he's a little more tolerable
Kmar - A story for every day of the week?
I think my fiance might disown me. He's getting tired of talking to the back of my head as I sit here saying "Shhh!! I just need to write one more paragraph...no, one more for tonight. No, one more..."
Ann - Thanks so much! After seeing the reaction to "Monday" I had a feeling this could easily turn into a series. However, it was never my intention to write anything more than that original super-short. I don't know where I stand with "Wednesday" right now. Writing it would require me to write an A-plot, and that is not my forte. Would you settle for: "Lois and Clark hunt down the bad guy. He turns out to be very mean. But the reporters prevail and live happily ever after. The End."
Beth - Thanks! I don't know where to go from here, though. I'm afraid my muse has hit a dead end at the moment. *I* know who the bad guy is, but no idea how to write the next part.
Thanks again so much to everyone for their kind words while I was working on this story!! If it hadn't been for all of the feedback along the way, this story would have read very much like the one I created above just for Ann.
