Guess I'd better start my own feedback thread... we've got so many new stories, isn't it great? Hope y'all like it.

"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

That was really nice. And did I mention adorable? Oh, wow! <sighs> Makes me wonder why they couldn't have actually set Metallo ( and every other episode ) during Christmas? Probably to make Pam post a fanfic-rewrite of them set during the hols. Great job!

Great one Pam, adorable, waffy. I love how Clark just had them float when he knew Lois had figured it out.
Can we hope to see more stories from you in 2009? Pretty please

Can I just say... awww! This was adorable! I loved your non-issue having Lois, very refreshing.
Boy did this fic put a smile on my face!!
Thank you!
LOIS:I don't like you.
MAYSON: Really? Oh god, that is such a relief - I don't like you either.
LOIS: That makes me feel so much better

This was wonderful. It makes me want to ![[Linked Image]](http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v319/tankexmortis/Smileys/th_b55c65b4.gif) . (Thanks, Andreia and Sara for the emoticon.) No angst. No grovelling. Just smoochies and some well timed floating. Just what a WAFFy holiday fic should be. (At least, in my book. ) Bob

Oh, this was pure, unadulterated WaFF - just what I needed today. She ought to swear off men for life, but instead she found herself yearning for ... something. Something real. Forget about glitz and glamour and excitement; she wanted something deeper. She just didn't know how to go about finding it.
Her thoughts drifted towards Clark. It's nice to see Lois actually notice how Clark is what she wants and to actually do something about it. Oh, and I loved how subtle Lois is when she decides to make her interest known... She moved closer to him, bumping him a little at the hip. "Oops," she said lightly, "broken pavement."
"You okay?" he asked, his hand moving supportively towards the small of her back.
She promptly moved closer and put her arm around his waist. "I'm fine."
After a brief hesitation, he brought his arm up and draped it across her shoulders. He glanced sideways at her, a questioning look on his face, but she just smiled. This felt right. Close to him was where she wanted to stay. Aww at the declarations of love and nice reveal at the end. Thanks for posting!

I suddenly remember why I love your writing so much. I loved how Lois was okay with being alone on New Year's. She wasn't pathetically looking for someone, but she wasn't closed to the idea of being together with Clark either. "Oh, Clark, hi! I was just-" thinking about you, she managed not to say. "Looking for something edible."
He laughed. "In your kitchen?"
She grinned, shifting the phone to her shoulder and closing the fridge. "Well, yeah, that didn't turn out so good. Loved the amiable ribbing. I liked how she assesses that their evening feels date-like and how she determines to go about examining their relationship in the same way she would go about an investigation. The oops test was cute and the come-upstairs-so-we-can-kiss-at-midnight test was sweet. His promise to explain later why he was in the bathroom for so long held some potential, particularly since he didn't say something like, "I found a book in the bathroom and I wanted to scan to the ending." And the ending held so much promise for a new start in the new year. Elisabeth

Thanks for the kind words! I was nervous about posting this, so it's really great to hear these reactions. I'm glad the ending worked -- they kind of went wordless on me. Not a whole lot of dialog in this story, though, so I guess it didn't seem too out of place. His promise to explain later why he was in the bathroom for so long held some potential, particularly since he didn't say something like, "I found a book in the bathroom and I wanted to scan to the ending." Yep. Now, mind you, "later" could be a few weeks or months...  but he did want to tell her sometime. And she's so subtle -- but look, she's checking the water level before she jumps!  Anyway, I really appreciate you all taking the time to tell me you enjoyed this... it makes me want to write more  but I really don't know when I'd have time for that... <sigh> Classes for the winter quarter started yesterday, and tomorrow we're going to visit relatives, so I get to do homework while on vacation! PJ who does want to do another one of the "My" series, if she ever carves out the time...

Pam, this fic was wonderful. It's the kind of story that puts a smile on my face. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/goodsigh2.gif) 'Adorable' is really the more appropriated word to describe it. I love WAFFy stories and this one was all that I could wish for in a fic. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/dreamyeyesf.gif) I hope you find time to write more. I'll be looking forward to new stories of yours.  Andreia

Hi Pam! Sorry it took me so long  Not to mention," she hadn't quite intended to add, "that exceptionally long bathroom break of yours." Hmm... did the bathroom have a window? He ducked his head, looking uncomfortable. "Not exactly. I'll, ah, tell you later, okay?" Bingo! So, he’s going to come clean? He was clearly giving her a chance to back down, or set some boundaries. Normally, she would have. Tonight, she gathered her courage and smiled. "In that case, you should definitely come in." Hmm… His eyebrows climbed, but he no longer held back. They rode the elevator in silence. Lois felt a delicious shiver at the feel of his strong body against her side, and in anticipation of what might happen. Seemed like giving him signals was working pretty well. Yeah, she does seem to imitate a Las Vegas casino’s neon signs… "That maybe I loved you, and I had to know if you felt anything at all like that for me, because I thought maybe you did, or at least you used to, but then things went so well tonight..."  "Hey, remember last year? I said every woman in love thinks her man looks like Superman. Turns out to be true." She giggled. "You do look like..." her voice trailed off and her eyes widened as a hundred clues whirled through her mind and coalesced into a new pattern. Awwwwww What a sweet and funny story, Pam Michael

This was so sweet. I loved that Lois just sort of let the Superman thing go at the end - at least for then. It fit with her attitude in the rest of the story.
