*Really* sorry about the 3 month delay. 3.5 month delay. I've been busy AND in a writer's block forever. And whatever I had written seemed wrong and stilted to me.
I don't intend on waiting that long to post again, I hope to get a chapter out a week, and I'll really give it my best shot.
Sorry again.

Y'know, I have no idea why I love this story so much... <g> Normally I *hate* angst... but this is different. Beautifully heart-breaking, if that makes sense. And of course that makes every little bit of progress so much more precious. Anyway... good section. It's an interesting insight that Clark is more traumatized by the flashback than Lois is. Next time, maybe he'll just turn on the radio real loud  It was good to see her comforting him, though. Nice to see you back  I hope your schedule is settling down. I suspect this is not an easy story to write. You're doing a fabulous job -- and thanks for being so very determined not to abandon it. I can deal with waiting months for the next section, but if there was *never* a next section, I'd be very traumatized! PJ

"I have a...."

ok, I've done some back reading of the comments and I am going to add this to my list of must reads, espcially if the Chief says that it is a worth readying angsty story.
L, could you send me what you have up to this point, so that I don't have to go looking for all the pieces?
Thanks.

Uh... I don't have it on disk. Most of it is on the boards. I'll update the TOC though (sometime this week) and then send you the link.
Thanks for reading it!

I'm doing SOMERSAULTS!! Long Strange Trip is BAAAACK!! Hooray! Great part Leela... They seem to be taking baby steps but at least there is progress. I think Clark really saw the turmoil that Lois is carrying around with her every waking (and sleeping) moment! I will wait another 3 months (  ) for another part, but please don't stop! Glad to hear that your schedule may be calming down. Welcome back ~Liz
Lois: Can I go?
Clark: No.
Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go.
Clark: Then why do you ask?
Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

Wahoo, it's back! I think "beautifully heart-breaking" sums it up perfectly. Looking forward to more!

I don't have it on disk. Most of it is on the boards. Hope you won't mind, Leela, but seeing this gave me an idea... I've just gone back through your TOCs and copied every part into one (long!) Word file. All 280 pages of it <g> I didn't keep your chapter breaks, and maybe I should have, but at any rate, I've got it all together. Leela, would it be okay with you if I send this to James? I can send you a copy, too, if you'd like one. In .doc format it's just shy of 900k; saving it as .txt would shrink that somewhat. Just let me know PJ

Pam,
Thanks!
Go ahead and email it to those who ask - it's nice of you to go through that very lengthy task.

And if the groundhog sees his shadow, does that mean many more parts immediately, or that we'll have to wait another six weeks?  PJ

I am planning on working at home this week one day so I can give this an hour or two of time (no, I won't swipe time from work, but it's easier to work at night than it is to write - being interrupted by kids really kills the creative spirit).
ANyway - I have the story in pieces, and need to massage it. I"m happy with the pieces though, so i won't be discarding like last time
