I can't really do an FDK dance right now (and, yes, I actually do have one), so you're all getting the abbreviated version which consists mostly of clapping and squeals of delight.
My thanks in advance to everyone for their well wishes - I'm really touched.
Carol -
I'm glad Flois told Plark about it even though I have no clue what it's going to do to them. I'd tell you now, but it would ruin the surprise.
Pam - Thanks! I'm glad the succinct dialogue worked for you. It didn't really seem like a time for a flowery speech.
Please don't make us wait another month for part 6... Oh, I shan't! I actually meant to post a lot sooner, but, well… We're finally to the part of the story that was written first, so other than some compulsive polishing, it's pretty much ready to go.
Joy - It would appear we've both made each other happy.
Rona - Thanks for taking a chance on a WIP, I appreciate that immensely and I won't let you down.
Ann - Yes, in a way, Clark is Lois' home. So there is something to this:
But really, as for this "going home" business - that's what this fic is about, isn't it? It's about the fact that sometimes you can't go home again. Uh… no comment.
Elisabeth - Oooh! You've picked up on some of my favorite details - that Flois relies on Clark and their marriage as a foundation. And that, given the opportunity, she can't resist teasing him, just a little, for those years when he had the secret and she didn't.
Artemis - So "fabulouser" is the new "chumpy"? (Would you believe that spellcheck doesn't recognize either of them?) Tell Wells that he needs to head in my direction soon - he's got some 'splaining to do.
Jen - Heh - yeah, once Luthor was dead, all bets were off.
Brenda - The reason Lois didn't want to stall was because she was hoping that, by telling Clark, she would somehow get back. So there's stalling and there's
stalling. And there's going for it tonight and
going for it tonight. In this case, I don't think she'd really
go for it with Clark just-like-that. He needs some time to get adjusted to everything he just learned. And after that? Ohhhhh baby - if you think Flois is fulfilling all Plark's little dreams now… Like I said - some of the stuff I wrote first, the twisted little daydreams I just wanted to put into words, are up next. <heh>
I'll make you a deal - part 6 for part 16. :p
