/does mental calculation and decides to keep very quiet about the result/

Sadly, I was only able to type in what I wrote in my notebook yesterday. Hopefully, I'll be able to stay awake longer tonight. I got a better night's sleep last night.

Oh dear Then again, it could be worse…

Michael

Actually, it was almost worse. I almost deleted everything I wrote this week and started over. But after another (awake) read-through, I think I'll keep it. I'll let the Betas decide if my tangents are slowing down the plot too much.

*whew* /recommends a keyboard with a removed delete-key during the night hours.

BETAs: What tangents?

Actually, I had been thinking about it while trying to sleep (after turning off computer), but then accepted it when I read it in the morning. Speaking of which, I really need to send that part over to my Betas. They haven't gotten a new piece all week.

There's A-Plot = What's happening around Lois and Clark. (canon storyline). There's B-Plot = What's happening in Lois and Clark's relationship. And then there's C-Plot = Alt-Clark's Backstory. Tangents would fall under C-Plot. But don't worry, I get back to A-Plot by the end of the Part. We haven't done much C-Plotting recently, so I had some stuff to make up for.

I agree, but I had house guests and very little writing time this week. Good news, I'm already half-way done with Part 55. So, without too much distractions (I'm either coming down with a cold or fall allergies have finally kicked in) I should have another one for them soon.

Oh dear!

I think it should just be "that allowing". The "by" sets up a line like "I am undermining my chances with her as Clark" but he never says anything like that.

On another note it is ironic that Clark thinks canon Clark kept his feelings "secret from her", when in fact canon Clark kissed Lois as SM, danced with Lois as SM and generally romanced her more as SM before she knew the truth more than this Clark has done so far.

Hey Canon Clark even proposed to her before telling her. Anyway Wells seems to be really out of it. Lois and Clark had already dated when he first met them, and he does know that Clark had not yet told Lois that he was SM. It almost seems that Wells is trying to put stumbling blocks in Clark's way that he knows never existed for canon Clark.

I guess he does then admit that canon Clark did the same thing. Still, I don't think it would make any sense for Clark to have told Lois super early. This is a big secret that needs a high threshold for telling, and being in love with a person is not a high enough threshold.

I think that should be "possibly be wrong".

I will now run for cover since I dared post statements claiming Lois was wrong, even if they are her words.

You don't need the "not" since he said "nor", so it is already a negative statement.

I think it should just be "cyborg boxers".

You know, that line always felt off to me, but I could never pinpoint why. Thanks! Problem solved.

Yes, Clark makes many assumptions (many untrue) about canon Clark and Lois's relationship.

Says the man begging me every part "Just tell her already!"

Just because Herb knows that canon Clark didn't tell Lois, doesn't mean he understands the logic behind his actions.

Yep, you're right again! Thanks.

LOIS: Liar! I didn't say that. It was taken out of context! Those aren't... oh, yeah, that's right. I was using reverse psychology on Clark. It worked too, didn't it?

No? Just joking. Thanks.

Yeah, a little too many plurals there. Thanks.

There is a slight problem with this. Antartica does not have a flag really. In 2002 an international group adpted a flag for Antartica, but there really was no flag for it back in 1993. You are probably going to tell me to "shut up and go with the work of cition", but I wanted to point out this issue.

There is always the possibility that because of no Clark in this dimension from 1966-early 1993 Antarctica meant that a flag was developed earlier. The flags represented where the S.T.A.R. Lab facilities were located, not necessarily the "country" of origin. While most of the flags were national ones, it does not preclude the Antarctica lab from having a non-nationalized flag.

NATIONAL WHISPER: Superman's a Fraud, because Antarctica doesn't have a Flag!
